  1. haha.. this is a funny site, i guess some 5th graders at a elementary school put a website about 4 general areas in school, and each one has a photo of either Carlos, Mags, Pauly, and Thomas. Once clicking on their heads, i thought Konerko and Lee's photo were the most hilarious. http://chicago.whitesox.mlb.com/mlb/kids/w...nner/index.html
  2. I thought i heard that Clarett was almost positive he was going back to the Buckeyes. And about him being very raw, i think he'd do pretty good in the NFL right now, i mean, he was a warrior as a freshman, and after all he's been through, im sure he's got the mentallity of a 5 year vet.
  3. Well, Memphis pulls off an upset at home against #6 Louiville, who i think was overreted to begin with, and in Madison today, Devin Harris scores 37 points to beat the winless(in big 10 play) Gophers. Harris has been going off since he scored his previous career high against Illinois 2 weeks ago. And illinois SOS goes a little higher since we beat Memphis ealiar in December... Go illini!
  4. Yeah, you got a point there, you know when the sports world is down when Bobby Knight is leading Sportcenter yesterday for "almost" getting suspended for 5 days. Im sure the Score had nothing else to talk about, cause the Pro Bowl is certainly not worthy of discussion.
  5. Im at the point where i dont want to lose either of them, because i know whatever one leaves will love the LA area so much that they'll play there ass off and we'll wonder why we traded them. Odalis isnt that special anyway, hes inconsistant, and gets rocked a lot. If i remember right, we scored like 8 runs on him last year at LA, so if we were rocking him, he cant be that good
  6. This is probably the wrong year to pick an all big 10 final 4 huh??? Lol... if 4 even make it... Ill say UConn, St. Joes, Stanford, and my sleeper is Texas Tech... I think Knight has got an experienced bunch that is playing damn good right now. Illinois ill have getting to the round of 32 and then losing.... Wiscy is the big 10's best shot, ill say elite 8 for them. Mich St probably goes to the sweet 16, Izzo refuses to lose b4 then. go illini!
  7. Haha... thanks where did shoeless joe come into the mags picture anyway?
  8. 1st half was quite miserable, lots of errant plays, clumsy, and Powell was the only one to step up. We scored 20 points, our lowest total of the year for a half. 2nd half, we shot the ball much better, our defense was huge holding Indiana to about an 8 minute drought without a field goal, and Williams hit some huge shots, and Nick Smith hit huge shots and blocked the 3 pointer from Bracey Wright that could have won the game. 51-49... lowest total of the year, and we win, go figure.
  9. Ok, our defense was amazing, but you have to admit that when you score 20 points in the first half, while looking completely lost the entire time, as Powell was the only one to do anything, besides a 3 from Brown in that first period, that you would not win this game. This game did go to the defense, no doubt, but we have to get something together on offense where Indiana hasnt done anything against big men in the post all year long. Although we are more of a perimeter team, Augustine has to play with more enthuesiam down low, maybe learn from Powell on the post, cause Powell was just an animal tonight as he has been in the big 10 season. Not only all that, but both Head and Brown missed clutch free throws to put the game away. go illini!
  10. I have to say, i've never been so negative about a teams performance before after that first half... but Roger Powell, Nick Smith, and Deron Williams won this game, and although it was ugly, pulled off a miracle. And i say miracle, because there is no way we deserved to win this game... no way. But alas, a monster road win, and now we have to go to Minnesota and try to get a road winning streak going before playing those pesky Spartans next Tuesday. GO ILLINI!
  11. Did i say this should be good... of all the horrid Illini starts this year, this is the most pathetic. This feels like the Wisconsin game 2 saturdays ago, where we'll keep it within 6-10 until Indiana will probably pull away and win by 20 the way this is going. GOD DAMMIT.... LETS STOP LOOKING SO CLUMSY AND PLAY SOME B-BALL 12 POINTS THRU 14 MINUTES FOR GOD SAKES! GO ILLINI!
  12. Lol... sorry about that, maybe i should read over the threads first!
  13. I thought of that too, but that isnt Temples home court, so that doesnt count.... Anyway, its game time.... LETS GO ILLINI!
  14. Espn just released the newest sportsnation poll which puts several different factors in figuring out what fans think about : -Where your favorite team stands -How each NFL, NBA, NHL and MLB team ranks in its own sport -How the franchises in each major market compare to each other - How each team does in each category, such as "Fan Relations" and "Stadium Experience" Notable teams include Scrubs --> #45 Bulls --> #93 Sox --> #99 (ahead of the Bears? wow!) Bears --> #103 Blackhawks --> #120 (dead last, as Houston Texans are N/A for not being a team long eneugh i guess) Heres the link: http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/sportsnation/franchiseRanks
  15. Both teams are gonna want this win pretty badly, one coming off a loss to Michigan St, and the other needing a road win badly, especially to make up the home loss to Purdue. Hopefully, Luther and Roger keep play like they have been, and Dee needs to step us as usual and be the team leader. Deron is due to have a good game, and playing his high school teammate from The Colony(Bracey Wright) shouldnt hurt. I would love to say that Illinois will win, but i got to think that there road troubles continue and Indiana wins by 4. But you never know... Go ILLINI!
  16. Interesting, i guess the reports on 1000 wernt right then... I wonder if that was just a rumor that spread ...
  17. To reply to myself, the Illinois/Indiana game from 2000 is on right now, ESPN Classic..... All Hoosier fans must watch! Bradford for 3.... YESSSSSSSSSSS! Go illini!
  18. I guess it was just reported today that he will be getting a 5 day(huh?) suspension and will miss tonights game and possibly Saturdays game... When will Knight learn.... sighhhh
  19. I agree with you Brando. These past years we've looked great on paper but never produced. Maybe looking worse on paper will maybe inspire the Sox to play some hard nosed baseball and earn the division title instead of letting the Twins outplay us at the end.
  20. http://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/photo?slug=sdo..._sdo107&prov=ap This was from Sundays game. Theres also some SoxFest pictures of Esteban and Mark if you scroll down. About 2 months to go..!
  21. I just realized, that if Willie is our starting 2nd baseman this year, Carlos wont lead the team in stolen bases! s***!
  22. LUBBOCK, Texas -- Texas Tech coach Bob Knight got into a verbal spat with the university chancellor, David Smith, at a grocery store Monday, prompting a review by school officials. Haha... at a grocery store, now that would be a site to see. http://sports.espn.go.com/ncb/news/story?id=1725735
  23. Are you saying Groundhog Day(the movie) sucked? I love that movie, in fact its on right now on the Encore channel. Bill Murrey is funny as hell in that movie...
  24. Jayhawks end up winning the game, Man, Its still a shock to me that Mizzou sucked so bad this year. Im sure glad Illinois held on to the lead they had over Missouri earlier in December, or that would be looked at as a bad loss.
