Where's jimbos drinker?

I still don't see a reason why not to do that trade...

QUOTE(Palehosefan @ Dec 2, 2006 -> 03:13 PM) I think a blind penguin could coach Kansas' talent to wins over Oral Roberts and Depaul, that's just frightening. Even if the guys don't listen to Self, their talent alone should pull out those wins. DePaul is talented as well, along with having to fight bad coaching...I'm well aware that the program is down, but still cringe when seeing us put in the same sentence with an oral roberts in that manner... Great win for my team. If this can become a recurring habit where we can actually play hard and well, the schedule allows for more quality opponents to be able to win against and make a case for a post-season. This better not be a tease since wainwright has the feel of a .500 coach with a couple of upsets mixed in... I gave my ticket away as sort of my own silent protest for all of the poor play and underachievement, and because I didn't wanna see my team get man-handled. I have no regrets either. I couldn't help but listen to the game on the radio though. (This type of game should be on TV in Chicago.) This better be a start of something better...

QUOTE(fathom @ Dec 1, 2006 -> 12:45 PM) We've been joking about this for almost a year now. Have you ever been to a wrestling event where every single female that is slighty overweight has a Matt Hardy sign? That's how it feels to go to a Sox game. There's some hot pods fans...you're not giving our female fanbase enough credit...

QUOTE(Wanne @ Dec 1, 2006 -> 12:07 PM) And like Chisoxfn said...I think Pods will bounce back and have a much better year. Last year could be attributed to an array of things: injuries That injury has been the excuse for over a year and a half...he just doesn't have the same speed anymore... Let's not try and sugarcoat it because we luv our team; he was really bad last year and should not have been brought back, much less for 3 million...

I thought Chelsea Handler was hot for over 40...but supposedly she's not??

QUOTE(StatManDu @ Nov 25, 2006 -> 12:31 AM) Thanks for the warm welcome. I just plan on adding on. To be honest, I do a ton of research for the White Sox Scoreboard Operations Dept and every game there is a Sox Almanac that runs on the matrix (black and white board in LF). That's my work (as are the stats that appear on the DiamondVision). I have been collecting this stuff from a variety of sources for years and now -- to challenge myself -- I am trying to A) Get it all organized and B) Get at least one entry for each of the year's 365 days. Thanks again for the kind words. Keep reading! Sweet job...

QUOTE(DBAH0 @ Nov 24, 2006 -> 09:12 PM) I hate to say it, but that contract ain't lookin good for you guys right now. QUOTE(DBAH0 @ Nov 24, 2006 -> 10:33 PM) If you look at his stats so far, everything is down. Points - 7.3 to 6. Boards - 11.3 to 10.3 FG% - 51% to 43.6% Blocks - 2.2 to 1.7 There's 2 things that in my mind have been common sense about him ever since we signed him: 1. His numbers would continue to decline. 2. We're grossly overpaying for him. But I bought into the whole idea that we had to overpay to get a key piece to solidify the team and make them true contenders. Huge gamble on Pax's part that so far is not paying off at all. So far he's looking about how I expected him to look 2 years from now, and even worse that I ever expected at times, like tonight. And in all fairness, he's not completely the problem. They're definitely losing as a team. It's just so frustrating to watch...

QUOTE(hammerhead johnson @ Nov 21, 2006 -> 12:24 AM) It says on Wikipedia that his mom is Mexican. Bite me. Good point. I was only remembering that he was born in honduras. And no, I'm not biting you...

QUOTE(hammerhead johnson @ Nov 21, 2006 -> 12:13 AM) Word. I grew up on Cheech. I know a funny Mexican dude when I see one, and Mencia ain't it. Who in the hell have you been talking to? He's not Mexican. Who have you been talkin' to?

QUOTE(danman31 @ Nov 21, 2006 -> 12:02 AM) I got a hunch DePaul will lose to Chaminade.

QUOTE(LowerCaseRepublican @ Nov 20, 2006 -> 11:24 PM) They can't handle the man not being "Kramer" and so they heckled like f***ing idiots. He let them have it. I fail to see the outrage. If he was a lesser known comic, we're not having this conversation. It's a situation to garner pseudo-outrage and support a pro-censorship, free speech chilling movement all because some jackass heckler got his feelings hurt for being a douchebag and getting it thrown back at him. Are you related to him or something? It seems that you have everything completely backwards... Your first assumption is that they heckled him because he wasn't being kramer. Maybe he just a horrible comic?? That's basically been the consensus opinion... Your other assumption is that the "jackasses/douchebags" were "getting it thrown back at them" when it seems from the video that he was getting it thrown back at him. They didn't call him a cracker (tame, in my opinion) until his whole "pitchforking n*****s" comment along with throwing around the n word about 20 times. The ignorant tirade was uncalled for. Saying he's a washed-up has-been after the ignorance he spewed was called for, in my opinion. He's the jackass and the douchebag for not being a professional and handling the situation in the worst way possible.

Yep, I'm definitely much more concerned about the amount of corruption over how "green" daley is...

QUOTE(DBAH0 @ Nov 19, 2006 -> 10:09 PM) But if I'm John Paxson, I'd be acquiring after guys like Carlos Boozer, Zach Randolph, Troy Murphy etc. Pax would kill his children before he ever would inquire about zach randolph and all the problematic s*** that accompanies him, and rightfully so...

QUOTE(DBAH0 @ Nov 14, 2006 -> 05:36 AM) And I'd say Deron has become the "star" player on that team already, and will be a top 5 PG by the end of the season. Have you seen Boozer? Anyways...I took Dwight in another league, but I only saw him when he dominated the Bulls. Why in the world doesn't he take many, many, many more shots??? And what's up with all those TOs?

I feel like screaming FIRE WAINWRIGHT!!!...but they'd probably just make another s***ty hire anyways...

QUOTE(whitesoxfan101 @ Nov 14, 2006 -> 09:03 PM) There is a lot of talent on the DePaul team....Wainwright just coaches them like he wants to lose the games though. It's pretty amazing, I have no idea how he's had so much success as a coach. He hasn't. He was a mediocre mid-major coach. In my opinion, the problem stems back to how the coaching search, or lack thereof, occurred. When leitao left for virginia, DePaul was the premier coaching vacancy at the time. Rather than trying to make a big splash and going for a big name, or a young, successful mid-major coach, DePaul reverted to its cheap, "little school under the L" mentality and hired a mediocre, old, inexpensive coach. He's just not cut out for the Big East. He looks like he's in over his head, and the blowout of 'cuse last year was more of an aberration for those who followed the team throughout the season. The same problems from last year are rearing their ugly head this year, and then some. I hated the hire from day one. Unless there's some sort of huge turnaround, which I fully do not expect to see, I hope we are not stuck with him for the duration of his contract. All I can do is hope for some sort of success, but it already feels like they've quickly killed the season, not to mention extinguishing what little buzz the program was getting, in 2 games.

wainwright is just such a horrifically atrocious coach...

QUOTE(bmags @ Nov 13, 2006 -> 02:52 PM) i honestly used to like him, the first bit i saw on comedy central way back when. Same here. The whole mass bit... I liked him, but now his material just isn't as funny. I guess it happens. We'll hear about him about as much as we hear about chris rock soon enough... QUOTE(greasywheels121 @ Nov 13, 2006 -> 03:14 PM) I hate to continue the hijack, but Family Guy really sucks now. I'll go one step further on the hijacking and say that I'm appreciating south park more and more...

F U C K...blown out by bradley...AGAIN...there goes all the preseason buzz...once again, you are a terrible coach, wainwright...

QUOTE(thedoctor @ Nov 8, 2006 -> 12:47 PM) i tend to doubt the veracity of the report, primarily because of the louisville mention. i know louisville was dar's top school for a long while, but i didn't think they had any schollies left after goode committed. i could be wrong, though. however, since jordan crawford (once thought an iu lock) is now delaying his announcement, maybe sampson is making a late push for tucker. Supposedly Tucker has already signed and mailed his LOI to DePaul...

QUOTE(greasywheels121 @ Nov 8, 2006 -> 12:37 PM) I would not be mad if he changed his mind. I would. There were rumblings immediately after he chose DePaul, but he reaffirmed his commitment soon after. It's a bit unsettling, but I'm not too worried. Also, there was a nice article in the trib about Tucker just a couple of days ago:

QUOTE(chimpy2121 @ Nov 8, 2006 -> 11:20 AM) FSU has the 20th ranked early signing period class for basketball. Who's rankings? I would imagine DePaul has garnered a ranking with the nice little class they've put together... And we recently got a former northern iowa commit, a PG from indiana named Buzoukas...I'm somewhat skeptical, but I hope he can be a valuable addition...

I just hope this gives Coach Wainwright an edge if/when both schools are recruiting the same player...Sure hope that getting top-tier type recruits like Mac Koshwal and Dar Tucker this year becomes a trend...

QUOTE(Rex Kicka** @ Nov 5, 2006 -> 11:47 AM) I've been all about Borat since June. He's been doing press for it all summer and fall. A lot of the hype has come after the rave reviews critics have given it...
