QUOTE (kjshoe04 @ Jan 24, 2009 -> 07:29 PM) Our best player was sick, Wichita is the only real bad loss and you are bound to lose to one bad team on the road. Look at Mich St. vs. Northwestern. Indy St. could beat Northwestern. LOFL. Indiana State couldn't beat Indiana more than 3 out of 10 times. That team is laughably bad. And sorry to tell you this but Creighton isn't a good team. Nobody in the MVC is good this year.

QUOTE (Brian @ Jan 24, 2009 -> 09:27 AM) Osiris and Champ are good, bit there is a reason there are at ISU and not a Big Ten school or other major conference. Eldridge could play just about anywhere. Champ on the other hand was mediocre at best for 3 years at Oregon and wouldn't be putting up anywhere near the numbers he is now if he was in a major conference.

QUOTE (Jimbo's Drinker @ Jan 23, 2009 -> 02:11 AM) http://www.kansascity.com/167/story/996990.html geez, why would I lie about KU football recruiting. Well technically he hasn't signed yet, high school players can't sign until February 4th. Not sure if that is what he was talking about or not though.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jan 21, 2009 -> 11:35 PM) And the Palmer story is that Illini fans thought he was better than Hansbrough when they played at an open gym on their visit to Illinois. Arizona just got absolutely f***ed by the refs in their state rivalry game against ASU. Down 2 with 10 seconds left, they called a moving pick. It's too bad that Horne didn't get the chance to cost them another game with a foul in a tie game. He did play better then Hansbrough when they were on their visit. Which is why you should never judge players based on one viewing. And when Palmer visited he was a consensus top 50 recruit who then never developed after that point.

QUOTE (Felix @ Jan 21, 2009 -> 10:01 PM) Also: Illinois State loses again, this time to Wichita State (8-11). For a team that's so amazingly ridiculous and that owns the best back court in the NCAA, they sure do lose a lot to crappy teams. Well the MVC tournament should be interesting considering that no one from that conference is going to get an at large bid.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jan 20, 2009 -> 09:53 PM) B.J. Mullens is going to go pro, no matter how he plays this year. Draftexpress mentioned that his family needs the money a few weeks back. Plus at 7 ft 250 or whatever he is listed at with great athleticism he will be a lottery pick just based on potential.

QUOTE (The Critic @ Jan 18, 2009 -> 06:04 PM) Home cookin' on the non-call? Cardinals are going to the Super Bowl. Definitely but Curtis has to make that catch.

David Akers having an absolutely terrible game.

Well it was nice to see Legion have a good game. But this is why McCamey drives me nuts, he obviously couldn't make jump shots so attack the basket and create for yourself or someone else. He and Trent were just unbelievably bad today.

Jodie Meeks>>>the entire Tennessee basketball team.

I ask again, why is Boeckman playing? The guy has proven time and time again that he sucks and Pryor has played real well so far tonight.

Why is Boeckman playing? Just a horrible decision to bring him in on 3rd down there.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Jan 3, 2009 -> 02:46 PM) So you agree there was alot of homerism going around the entire argument? Is that what you are saying? Yes

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Jan 3, 2009 -> 02:23 PM) So far we have ISU as probably the best backcourt in the country, and Ill with a top 10 back court. Neither team is ranked and neither has a lottery pick on the roster. Is there some possibility that there is ALOT of homerism going on here? The only reason Illinois isn't ranked right now is because nobody expected them to be this good this year. Hell, they still will likely struggle at some point during Big 10 play but they clearly have been one of the top 25 teams in the country. Just like the only reason Louisville is still any where near the rankings is because they were ranked in the top 5 in the preseason. That is a terrible argument to use. And for the record I don't think Illinois currently has a top 10 backcourt but there really aren't a whole lot of truly great backcourts in college basketball this year outside of UNC.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Jan 1, 2009 -> 11:06 AM) Just wait till Lickliter can get a few more of his guys in, there style of play will be very unique in the big ten and they should become a consistent top 4 big ten team. Nice win for the Buckeyes though as at times Iowa looks like a borderline tourney team (at other times, not so much). They are extremely young though. Consistent top 4 Big 10 team? Illinois and OSU are recruiting pretty much as well as anyone in the country. They aren't going to jump MSU. IU has a strong 09 class and Crean will probably do a good job there. They are going to have a hard time leaping Wisconsin and Purdue as well. Their ceiling with Lickliter will be a middle of the pack Big 10 team and then in their off years they will be bad. Then of course there is Michigan who will be running an offensive system where they do nothing but shoot 3s as well. Tubby at Minnesota will have more talent then Iowa as well. A system will not make you a top 4 team in a conference when the teams you are facing have significantly more talent night in and night out. And before anyone brings up Wisconsin, Ryan actually recruits very well and also does recruit for his system. It almost seems like the reason that they always get stuck with the lack of talent label is due to the fact they have a ton of white players and they aren't great athletically most of the time.

Louisville is still overrated. That team simply cannot shoot the basketball.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Dec 31, 2008 -> 07:52 PM) Oh snap, WSOX99 pwns. Iowa scored about 99 percent of their points on 3's today, kept me on the edge of my seat. Bawinkel from Iowa has now taken 55 shots on the season and they are all 3s. He also hasn't attempted a FT. That has to be some kind of record for consecutive FG attempts that are 3s.

QUOTE (IamPabloOzuna @ Dec 31, 2008 -> 06:28 PM) hey id be sour too if i were a saluki fan Wow, one good season where so far they have done nothing but beat cupcakes and suddenly the ISU fans are talking trash. Hilarious. Oh, and you guys really haven't been pummeling people. Actually they have struggled against a lot of their schedule. 3 pt win against Central Michigan. OT to beat Missouri St. 6 pt win against Morehead State. Struggled against Nichols State, only won by 6 against Alabama State, and they only beat Wright State by 8. They pummeled Evansville which is impressive but their other blowouts were Houston Baptist, Winston Salem and Cal Santa Barbara. And since Houston Baptist and Winston Salem are both unbelievably bad those games don't mean anything.

Freaking awesome win. That is really all that needs to be said.

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Dec 30, 2008 -> 08:58 PM) Since when am I an Illini fan? When the other team shoots 20+ more fts, youd hope that the ref wouldnt call a touch foul to determine the game. Havent they given Purdue enough breaks... The bigger problem with that play is Johnson traveled before the weak contact.

Refs just stole the game from Illinois. f***ing pathetic.

Manning playing just a wonderful football game.

QUOTE (Jimbo's Drinker @ Dec 23, 2008 -> 08:45 PM) Looks like Mizzou is not as good as you thought. Muck Fizzou. 9 in a row now and it is going to take a huge upset for Missouri to win any time soon.

QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Dec 23, 2008 -> 04:00 PM) The Tigers rotation can't come close to sniffing what the Yanks have. Not only that but Rivera is just slightly better than what the Tigers had closing games for them.

QUOTE (lord chas @ Dec 23, 2008 -> 03:37 PM) hes not worth that much No, but the Yankees can clearly afford it and they keep him from the Red Sox. Plus they were paying Giambi this much the last couple of years so why not do the same for Teixeira. This is simply another case of a contract that would be bad for other teams just not being a big deal for the Yankees.
