Journey-dont stop believin I need a hero right now-van halen, stupid songs they tried to play at the beginning of the season.

season ticket holders were given a chance to get weekend passes even after they have sold out, just and FYI, I will probably go only one day and will have my pass for distribution.

Downers Grove North vs Downers Grove South tonight. Defending state champs look to take out our crosstown rivals.

QUOTE(Tony82087 @ Oct 21, 2005 -> 09:04 AM) I remember Soxtalk that day. Boy that was crazy. you mean griffeytalk.com?

QUOTE(greasywheels121 @ Oct 20, 2005 -> 01:37 PM) We've seen 3... Home vest, regular home, and grays. I thought we only saw home vest and road grays. I didnt recall the regular home jersey's.

flyingsock.com has them i think

QUOTE(fathom @ Oct 20, 2005 -> 02:35 PM) BTW....nice to finally have something we can agree on Rock! hahaha, finally!!!

QUOTE(IlliniKrush @ Oct 20, 2005 -> 02:22 PM) I'm sick of repeating myself, but Self wouldn't have coached this team to a 2nd place finish in the tournament, nor a 37-2 record. Period. His players or not, he COACHED them to all those accomplishments. Dude, Weber is a MUCH better coach than Self, but he just cant recruit like Self can. Bill Self is good in the living room, bad on the floor.

awesome RV, I hope you get a chance to make another one!!!

QUOTE(GoSox05 @ Oct 20, 2005 -> 01:56 PM) im gonna set my own car on fire and than dance around it drinking and pouring booze all over myself naked. all of this will be done in my drive way. i'll flip your car over

QUOTE(MurcieOne @ Oct 20, 2005 -> 01:35 PM) Sirius = Howard Stern XM = who cares? they dont have Howard Stern stern sucks first of all. Secondly xm has MLB and big ten football. xm is superior, and MLB is king, you get to listen to Rooney and farmer all the time, not to mention kicking with with some of the fantastic other announcers in the game. Which is better than Sterns old act.

QUOTE(thedoctor @ Oct 20, 2005 -> 01:54 PM) agree totally. i'm not saying weber doesn't have work to do. he clearly does. this isn't southern illinois anymore. that said, kill me for having faith that he will do better. Hey faith is what it is. I still think he will have his best performance with someone elses recruits, and his next years here will constantly be trying to reach that pinnacle again, with his own players. I just hope Thad can beat him again this year.

xm is far superior to sirius, suckers

nope, they have been sticking to the same two jerseys throughout the playoffs, and I do not think they will change. We have yet to see two of our jersey types as it is. I think they may think that some of our uniforms are "lucky"

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Oct 20, 2005 -> 01:15 PM) So.... no alcs tix, no world series tix, no soxfest tix. Hooray, I'm on a roll. the more you get snubbed, the more we win.

QUOTE(thedoctor @ Oct 20, 2005 -> 12:36 PM) no, i don't think it proves it anymore than not getting those other three guys proves he can't. and why be dismissive of carlwell? he's a four-star recruit, collins is a five-star (fwiw, which ain't much). he's a skilled 6-10 kid who projects to grow to seven-feet. he's the fifth-rated center prospect in the nation according to scout.com. you make it sound like he sucks. According to rivals Carlwell is the 9th rated PF, and he is not a player that one of the top programs should hang their hat on. Do not forget that Illinois was the talk of the nation last year, they were on covers, had extreme coverage and leap into the elite group of teams. Yet, Weber can seem to get the attention of the really blue chip players, doesnt that send you red flags?

QUOTE(thedoctor @ Oct 20, 2005 -> 11:52 AM) then how was he able to get carlwell if he's so horrible at this? Is that the recruit you are going to hang Weber's hat on? Being that he had probably the best team in the nation last year, you find that signing Carlwell proves he can recruit?

QUOTE(Chisoxrd5 @ Oct 20, 2005 -> 09:42 AM) Give it a few years...it wasn't 'horrible' and for you to say that you obviously have no idea what you're talking about. I'm disappointed, no doubt, but to say it is horrible is way out of line. Its nice you are thinking positive and all. But the fact that you are dissapointed shows the truth enough. He had probably the best team in the nation last year, yet many of his top targets are going elsewhere. Something is wrong there. Its not like this reputation just sprung out of nowhere, he has the rep for being bad in the living room with recruits, and you are now seeing that first hand.

QUOTE(Jenks Heat @ Oct 20, 2005 -> 09:31 AM) Maybe his 20 plus appearances at wrigley for take me out to the ballgame hinder him. Also what does he have to do with baseball? I like Bo I think he brings the mentality we need. I love Luis as well. its Da Coach, are you serious?

apparently you missed saved by the bell.

QUOTE(thedoctor @ Oct 20, 2005 -> 08:01 AM) horrible is a little strong. he has shortcomings as have been well covered, but it's not like he's pulling in dogs***. carlwell is a guy everyone in a country was after, and he'll be wearing orange and blue next year. calvin brock was the player of the year in chicago and he'll be wearing o and b this year. horrible is not an accurate term, imo. also, some good new for illinois. guard eric gordon out of indianapolis will be visiting again this weekend. he was there for midnight madness and is returning this weekend because he had a great time. eric gordon Horrible is the word I intended to use. You are saying, well, hes not bad, he got a few good recruits. You are talking about a team that was dominant all last year!! Top tier program, very visable tv schedule, very visable players. Players that just jumped to the NBA. A team that spent most of the season on top. And you are saying, well, at least he got a few good players. With a team like he just had, with the exposure he just had, he should have a top 3 recruiting class this year, thats it.

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Oct 19, 2005 -> 05:08 PM) I know he can live with anthrax if needed.

I dont understand why you dont get Ditka to throw out the first pitch.
