Buehrle>Wood

I'd have Avila, Shuck, Avi, and Saladino on the bench. Avi can platoon and Shuck can serve as the more traditional 4th OFer.

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Mar 6, 2016 -> 06:00 PM) Who gets DFA'd? I'll go with Kevan Smith. Has to be Olt.

I really think Eaton will be a beast in RF.

Hill with 39 and Illinois still loses to Penn State, lol. Just awful. Hope they rightfully put Hill on 1st team all B1G though. He deserves it.

QUOTE (nitetrain8601 @ Mar 6, 2016 -> 01:09 PM) My point exactly. Holm was winning the fight 3-1 and was on her way to winning completely before Meisha was able to grapple her. I'd be more interested in Holm vs Tate II than Rousey vs Tate 24324 Source on the scores? Round 2 should have been 10-8 for for Tate. She could have been given 3 and would have definitely won 5. I would have had Tate winning had it gone to the judges. Draw at worst.. Edit: Just saw the official scores. All three had it a 10-8 in round 2. Would have been a draw had Tate not finished.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Mar 6, 2016 -> 08:36 AM) Any rumblings on staff yet from the message boards? Mike Sherman or Jeff Tedford as OC. John Holecek may be coming on board. Urlacher rumors.

QUOTE (raBBit @ Mar 6, 2016 -> 11:19 AM) Her legacy has already taken a hit. She hasn't beat anyone good. She's basically the women's Chuck Liddell. Took advantage of fighters who weren't elite and had a heavy hand. Miesha Tate had such a great plan yesterday though. I thought Holly was still impressive in a loss but Tate just did not allow her to get inside. The best part of the night for me was when Diaz caught McGregor with a combo right on the chin. McGregor gets slumped and before he regains his control he's still showing off and being cocky. I don't know if he was out of it or trying to pretend he wasn't rocked but Diaz just picked him apart from that point on. Diaz is really just a fighter - at no point did he ever look nervous or overmatched. That second round was just masterful, he just stuck to his game. He never tried to do too much, he just kept taking what he was given. RE: McGregor vs Diaz, McGregor got absolutely rocked on that shot and never recovered. He had absolutely no balance even when not being pressured from that point out. Honestly I believe the weight made all the difference. Diaz weighed 15 lbs more. McGregor landed a ton of clean shots to Diaz' head and yet he was unfazed. MacGregor, despite having a great chin, takes one clean hit and was basically out from there.

Rousey is the GOAT. I don't like her, but she asks for a title shot she gets it.

QUOTE (zenryan @ Mar 6, 2016 -> 12:12 AM) McGregor's s*** ground game exposed. Rumors of him fighting GSP at UFC 200 sounds even funnier now. That wasn't his s*** ground game. Dude was wobbled as f*** for a full minute after one punch. He barely knew where he was. He was about to get ktfo'd and had no choice but to go to the groud as a last ditch effort. He was done regardless, wasn't protecting himself at all.

Well that happened

QUOTE (AustinIllini @ Mar 5, 2016 -> 05:22 PM) "Hi. I'm Lovie Smith. I have coached in two Super Bowls and I have coached some of the best defensive players in the last decade. I think you have what it takes to be an NFL linebacker. Come to Illinois and let's do something special," he said, without any emotions. Yep. Going to be easy for him as long as he's motivated. Don't see why he won't be.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Mar 5, 2016 -> 04:54 PM) Lovie the football coach would be a great hire. But how well could he recruit? That would be my concern, not that Illinois kills it on the recruiting trail now. Name value in Chicago. It's an assistants world anyways and Cubit did an okay job at putting together a staff.

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Mar 5, 2016 -> 03:21 PM) Ryan Baker ‏@RyanBakerMedia 1m1 minute ago Chicago, IL Some credible sources are telling me Lovie Smith will be the next #Illini head football coach. @cbschicago Ryan Baker is usually solid. What a hire if true. A+ Whitman.

Bernie Sanders agreed to do a Fox News Town Hall. Clinton declined said she had a scheduling conflict. Then she heard Bernie was going so she agreed. Either way, I'll give her credit. Pretty ballsy to show up.

Turner's stuff looks great. Would love to see him in the rotation over Danks.

That was some mega power by Coats. Oppo no doubter.

Frazier caught stealing

Lawrie bomb

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Mar 4, 2016 -> 12:49 PM) The Washington Free Beacon appears to be the source on this, and they say: Per OpenSecrets, Clinton has self-funded her campaign with $468,037, so she's still net-negative. It appears that her and Trump are the only candidates to contribute self-financing so far (though Trump obviously at a much higher level). They also say this, which seems to contradict itself: Donald Trump didn't record payments to himself, but he did have "reimbursements"? What's the difference? Part of Trump's financing is loaning the campaign money so Id guess it'd be getting a little of that back whereas Clinton pays herself as an employee from campaign donation money.

So today's scandal is that Hillary paid herself 250,000 in campaign funds. No other candidate did so. Does anyone care?

Kasich has to say that because he's still in the race. I think Romney enters himself after Rubio drops out (when he loses Florida) to try and force a brokered convention. I think he embarrasses himself even more than he already has and it fails to get there. Cruz says he has no interest in a brokered convention. I believe him. He's not an establishment guy and that's more their power play. Hell support Trump and if Trump can win the GA it will benefit Cruz. Trump likes Cruz a lot even though it's not evident on the debate stage. Paul Ryan I don't see it. Trying to do this could be a career ender if anything goes wrong. Hell, even if he won a brokered convention there'd be a huge revolt within the party and the nominee would get destroyed in the general. Ryan is too young to take that risk. Everyone knows he can be a great future candidate. No need to go down that path now. Romney has nothing to lose so I can see him going for it. I just dont see it working out.

QUOTE (pettie4sox @ Mar 4, 2016 -> 09:42 AM) BWHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHHA Trump is an egomaniac. The dude really doesn't care about GOP, he cares about himself. Thank the lord.

I thought he was in jail or something to be honest.

Kasich would get completely exposed if anyone actually cared about him. He also needs to realize nobody thinks well of Ohio.

QUOTE (scs787 @ Mar 3, 2016 -> 11:03 PM) Why does it matter what prison as long as he is indeed in prison? Do you plan on visiting? Trying to get thrown in said jail to get your punches in? Not going down gregs path here but I imagined that was public info for due to similar reasons on why the first part of the sixth ammendment exists. I guess once you're actually convicted you lose rights, but still.
