Exactly. There's no way he did not know anything about those accusations. You can't get away w/ saying "I don't know." to everything. Then he just blew it w/ what he said about that girl. That was so insensitive and terrible to say. If this girl was so horrible, why was he keeping her on the team. Barnett's a dips***.

Agreed. I don't know where I can find the splits of what he did in the first half vs. the second half, but he was on his game in the second half. I feel he's got something figured out, and he'll put up some solid numbers at 3B this year.

I think it will be Cotts or Rauch in the 5th spot.

I sported the Chisox hoody today in honor of us opening spring training! I'm so pumped to think that it's all starting now. This will be a fun year, there's no question. Like it's been said, we're not the favorites this year. I think this will definitely help the team. They'll be able to relax and have fun while they "surprise" the rest of the league. ChiSox in '04!!

At halftime, USC is beating (21-0) Stanford 36-28......

SS2K....With James Hardy just setting the Fort Wayne mark for scoring in HS B-Ball, it got me wondering who holds the IN HS record? Do you know who it is?

Where did I say Mags or C. Lee was over/underpaid?

I'm not trying to bash you. I was just wondering why you wouldn't want Mags on our team. C. Lee's gaining on him, but he may be the most productive guy in the lineup.

I always have to get a box of the caramel delights and the thin mints when the stop by.

How many championships did Knight win in his first 4 years? 1971?--Nope 1972?--Nope 1973?--Nope 1974?--Nope

You hate to say it? What's wrong w/ Mags? I hate having players on my favorite team that hit .312 and averaged 40 doubles, 32 home runs and 118 RBI, over their last 5 seasons.

Yeah....Hasn't it been since like 1971-1972 that the Cubs have had 2 back to back winning seasons?

Yeah...it's pretty bad being in so called Cub Country. I know the people on the board living in Chicago and Illinois have to get it worse. However, everyone here is now on the friggen' sCrUB bandwagon. I can't stand it. It's funny how they only announced themselves as "sCrUB" fans after they made the playoffs.

I never said Davis was better than Knight. I just said it was probably time for a change in Bloomington. The focus wasn't on the basketball anymore. The media turned IU into a circus w/ making every move of Knight's the top story. (They still do.) I just think it's unfair to compare the two coaches though. They have different styles, and it's still extremely early in Davis' tenure at IU. It's also a different era of college basketball. It's rare to see players stay at their campuses all 4 years anymore. This wasn't the case for a majority of Knight's era at IU. This has to make it really hard to get a player to master the system and get the most out of them. I mean look at what that Florida player just did. Athletes just look for the money anymore. I believe Davis will do justice before his tenure at IU is up. Like I said earlier, this was supposed to be a down year. We were a young squad w/ no height. We were picked to finish 8th in the Big Ten. Leach went out during the toughest stretch of IU's schedule. How was any of that going to get us into the tourney?

I think Aboz should probably determine this, but looking at how the standings are right now, enough people seem to be getting them right w/out clues. Adding clues might make it too easy, but maybe these start getting too tough and everyone gets on a cold streak. Then maybe it could be necessary. I don't want to make that call though. What does everyone else think?

I disagree. I know Knight was great and all w/ what he did at IU, but Knight was starting to lose his supremacy at IU when he got fired. During the 1990's things began to come apart. Bobby became more famous for his off-court antics than his coaching. How many years was it that IU went one and out in the NCAAs? He turned almost maniacal, accepting no blame or responsibility for anything. I don't care if he was set up by Niel Reed that he grabbed or not. He had to go! Was there this much whining when Knight had an offseason?

I just don't know. Davis is doing a pretty good job. We were picked 8th in the Big Ten to start the season. This was supposed to be a transition year. Davis did get IU into championship game in the NCAA tourney in 2002. This is a question from from Terry Hutchen's IU Q&A on Indystar.com and it really relates to this point...I totally agree w/ Terry on this...

f*** f*** f***....... IU loses AT HOME to Minnesota 73-71......We'll be lucky to make the NIT.....

Minnesota has now tied it at 71-71....IU has the ball w/ 12 seconds and has called a timeout......

69-65 IU w/ 3:12 to go in Bloomington...

Hardy got the record tonight. They mentioned it during a little commerical for tonight's late news. I'll post the article and what not when it becomes available.

Damn...my golden birthday was my first one then...I sure missed out...
