I wouldn't really want Sapp all that much anyway. You don't need to have a stud at DT, just someone who can hold position. I'm ashamed to say I haven't really looked up who is available though. There are a couple halfway decent DT that could be available at the Bears first round pick however.

Wow...I may actually be excited about a Bears season for the first time in a long while (2001 doesn't count, I knew that was a fluke). If we get Jevon Kearse we are a DT away from having an absolutely dominant D if everyone stays healthy.

A very fast and athletic DE who when healthy is one of the better defensive lineman in the NFL.

The Cubs do too unfortunately.

I know, just messing with you. I'm expecting a very difficult game. I really don't understand why the Gene Pool can't wear black or the rest of the fans can't wear gold like you said. Just doesn't make sense and doesn't make for the same type of atmosphere, especially when there will be a lot of orange sprinkled in.

Well, when there is that many tickets available they probably don't care and just want to get them sold. And you are right about there being a blackout theme but I heard the Gene Pool was still going to wear gold (how stupid is that). But I am positive there were a ton of tickets available as of Sunday. Oh, and I hope you have fun watching Illinois clinch a share of the BT Championship tomorrow as well (knock on wood).

illiniboard.com. Some Illini fan who owns his own business bought a block of 50 tickets and provided transportation to the game for free. I was in class when it was posted so I wasn't able to get it on it but that guy is awesome.

Not true, as of Sunday there were over 2300+ tickets available. I just got my tickets today so I'm pretty sure they aren't sold out. Also, I know that Krush will be in one section because they have the tickets and said so. There was also an Illini fan who bought a block of 50 tickets and gave those out free on the Illini board. Also, on the Purdue website it says tickets are still on sale so I'm pretty sure its not sold out.

Actually, its Orange Krush. And like I said in a previous post there will be 100 Orange Krush members in a block of seats as well as there being many many other Illinois fans that are going to that game. I won't be surprised if there ends up being about 1,000 Illini fans in Mackey tomorrow. And MartePartay, there are still tickets available if you wanted to go and could get a ride. I don't know where you live there.

Yeah, well actually I'm not going with Krush although 100 Orange Krush members will be there in one block of seats. I wasn't able to wait in line for tickets because I had an exam that I needed to study for. And since I knew there was a ton of seats available and I could just go with friends I decided to do that instead. I'm guessing there will probably be a very, very large contingent of Illinois fans in Mackey tomorrow.

No, the schedule was undecided but we take on tOSU on Sunday. Purdue129, you going to be at the game tomorrow, if so you may see me wearing my Dee Brown jersey and replica shorts as well as a whole bunch of other Illini fans wearing orange.

Didn't help us last year.

Oh man, I can't wait for tomorrow. Lets paint Mackey Orange baby.

Thought this game needed its own thread. UW leads 35-30 at the half. As much as it pains me, Go Badgers!!!! I think I'm going to puke. :puke Oh, and look for me at the Purdue game tomorrow, I'll be wearing Orange, were turning Mackey into Assembly Hall east.

Agreed, and I really don't care at all about the BTT. It would be nice to win but it does nothing but make you more tired for the tourney. As long as they win their first game in the BTT I really don't care about the rest because it doesn't help seeding at all (see Illinois last year).

Maybe I should take Prior, with my history of fantasy sports luck he is doomed. Just to name a few guys who's career I ruined or set back: Terrell Davis, Kurt Warner, Mike Vick, Jamal Anderson (him and Davis go down the same year, what are the odds), Grant Hill, and Jon Lieber. There have been others, thats just off the top of my head.

You only have to win three games to make it to state. How many classes do you have in your state?

I may be wrong, but didn't OSU clinch the Big 12 championship with that win. If so I could see rushing the court.

I found the whole thing to be hilarious. She is shallow and picks the good looking guy, he can't handle that she dated Fabio and dumps her. Classic.

And she dated Fabio in the past. This is some funny s***.

And the girl picked one of the good looking guys again. But I thought women weren't as superficial as guys are. And she just wants to be friends with the Average Joe. Shocking.

And LOTR wins all 11 tying Ben Hur and Titanic for most wins all time.

And Jackson gets the win for Best Director. Now its just the formality of LOTR winning best picture.

LOTR wasn't nominated for sound editing.
