QUOTE (chw42 @ Feb 17, 2010 -> 09:18 PM) So I'm assuming we're going to be using Kurt Thomas to replace Tyrus' playing time when he's going to be dealt? I sure hope so.

QUOTE (Brian @ Feb 17, 2010 -> 09:13 PM) Salmons to Milwaukee for Kurt Thomas and Francisco Elson Eh... expiring contracts so it's good with me. Thomas will be a nice veteran presence.

QUOTE (Heads22 @ Feb 14, 2010 -> 04:17 PM) Apparently the cool thing to do last night was a drive-by groping of my junk. Weird. Same thing with me last night except it was by dudes....

QUOTE (ptatc @ Feb 13, 2010 -> 05:30 PM) How about Maggie Lawson from psych? Absolutely.

QUOTE (3E8 @ Feb 10, 2010 -> 09:38 PM) Catherine Bell I used to be so in love with her when I was like 14 (wow, that was 7 years ago). She's fine.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Feb 9, 2010 -> 09:20 PM) Mac! That's exactly what me and my 3 friends all yelled when he came on screen. And yeah, I was a bit disappointed by this episode. Didn't think it was all that great either, Sqwert. Though it was exciting to see Claire at the very end.

QUOTE (daa84 @ Feb 7, 2010 -> 11:09 AM) no not upset...i just think its funny that u of I students think this is some monumental upset....for me personally...i think of illinois as a program that every year should be in contention for the big 10 championship...therefore, every year they should at least be competetitive against MSU at home, and should reasonably win that game every 2 or 3 years... illinois is a boderline top 25 team right now IMO...if you are borderline top 25 team you don't rush the court unless you just beat a dominant college basketball team that is ranked #1...not a team that is ranked 5th, and likely to fall out of the top ten coming off an 18 point loss, and is also lacking their best player if you hand MSU their first loss, ok maybe....i just think it was weak last night I couldn't have said it better myself. I don't think going into last night it was that crazy of an idea for Illinois to have beaten MSU. I even bet on Illinois +2 last night b/c I thought they'd win without Lucas playing. Yeah, you should be excited to win and I was pumped that they did, but rushing the court is dumb.

It's never too early for mock drafts. It's always fun to project future players. Gosh, I hope Morgado has a badass year 'cause that will be good for Tenneessee, but it will kind of suck thinking he should have been in our system.

Wooo! That's a fine start for Illinois.

Damn, I thought I was nominated for a second before realizing that wasn't me... Who the hell made such a similar screen name to mine? haha

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Feb 5, 2010 -> 06:39 PM) Underpants gnomes. That was my 1st thought exactly...

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Feb 4, 2010 -> 11:45 PM) This has to be the most depressing thread ever. Besides the stupid Jayhawks, nobody's team seems to be doing well this season. Hey, I'm happy with Tennessee's season, lol. Especially after losing our best player and then beating #1 Kansas. That was a fun game to watch. But yeah, most of everyone's teams suck. I feel like basketball is just down this year in general.

QUOTE (whitesoxfan99 @ Feb 4, 2010 -> 10:54 PM) USC got a commitment from a 7th grade QB today. WTF? Yeah, that's absolutely ridiculous.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Feb 4, 2010 -> 10:22 AM) OSU brought in 1 as well, Andrew Norwell. PSU brought in 3 and Michigan and MSU both had 1. Not according to Rivals, which is by far the best recruiting site for football. Are those Scouts rankings?

Not sure if she's been mentioned, but I have a thing for Emma Roberts (Julia Roberts' niece).

QUOTE (iamshack @ Feb 4, 2010 -> 02:36 AM) Ugh, my apologies for my terrible grammer. Too much multi-tasking! I need to take my own advice and focus on only a few things at once! I meant sounds like she needs you to be there for her, not that you need her to be there for her. Ack. Sounds like you should just keep the same approach you have been taking. Haha, I knew what you meant. No worries...

QUOTE (nitetrain8601 @ Feb 4, 2010 -> 02:33 AM) I personally ask why you guys broke up if I were you. To me, it doesn't make sense to breakup, but yet nothing has changed except for the title of BF and GF. Yeah, it's an odd situation. No one I've talked to about it has quite heard anything like it. They can't figure out how she broke up with me, but nothing about our relationship has changed. It's almost like the break-up never happened.

QUOTE (SoxAce @ Feb 4, 2010 -> 02:22 AM) s*** da24 at this point, I'd probably keep rolling with it. I mean your still friends and still gettin ass? What's not to like. I'd be down for the whole friends with benefits as long as it isn't complicating her feelings and yours as more than that. I can always count on some sound advice from you, Ace. The friends with benefits is fine for now, but if she starts dating some new guy in like a month and I'm out, then that's probably going to make things worse since I actually do like this girl. I've never been broken up with either. So this is uncharted territory for me. I'll normally get bored with a girl, but of course, the one I actually like more than any girl I've dated (including my HS girlfriend of over 3 years) is the one that breaks up with me. Go figure...

QUOTE (iamshack @ Feb 4, 2010 -> 02:06 AM) Sounds like maybe she was just looking out for you and your best interests. I'd just take what she says at face value. If she you can accept your new relationship for what is it - just spending time with one another but with no strings attached - than I would proceed. Sounds like you need her to be there for her. But if you can't handle it, you have every right to back away from this. Yeah, she really is a great girl and we get along very well. I'm fine for now with proceeding how things are, but I guess we'll need to talk about it sometime. She seems to be coming around (and all my friends think we're gonna get back together), but I'm just going to let things play out and go from there. Oh, and thanks for the advice. Sometimes it just helps hearing an outsider's perspective with a fresh take rather than what all my friends say. Though, everyone says pretty much the same thing (but I guess that's good).

QUOTE (iamshack @ Feb 4, 2010 -> 01:30 AM) Did she give you a reason for breaking up with you in the first place? Said she wouldn't be able to be the girlfriend I deserved cause she has so much going on in her life and that she didn't think her heart was in it to be in a relationship. Left it open to get back together, so I expected to not see her for awhile. But, after one day she started texting me, wanting to hang out, etc. Honestly, she does have a lot of stuff going bad right now. Family money issues mainly (family business filing for bankruptcy) and they'll have her twin brothers at college next year so that's 3 in college. They looked into selling their house, but would lose $120,000 on it if they sold it at market value (that's what she told me). I think the problem is that they have been very well off (also own a mountain home in the Smokey Mountains) and then boom, life is about to get really tough. She's working 2 jobs as well as going to school (and also doing some part-time babysitting), and was stressing out like crazy the few days before breaking up with me. To make things worse, 7 days before we broke up, she totaled her brothers' car when she hit ice on the road, and with their money issues, they only had personal liability coverage on the car so her brothers just don't have a car now. Plus, she has to pay off the $600 mailbox she ruined when she wrecked the car.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Feb 4, 2010 -> 01:21 AM) http://gawande.com/the-checklist-manifesto Oh wow, I've never seen that before. Looks like a really good read. All the reviews for it were great too.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Feb 4, 2010 -> 01:04 AM) Make checklists and check one thing off at a time. I love checklists. Every day at work I just start a new checklist with things from the previous day that I didn't finish and add to it as stuff comes up. It definitely helps a ton. I hardly ever finish everything, but I put out the biggest fires first (so-to-speak) and prioritize what's most important. Then get to the smaller stuff when things slow down a little.

My GF broke up with me, oh, about 3 weeks ago. Came out of nowhere.... But she calls/texts me every day and we hang out all the time. Actually, nothing in our relationship has changed except the "title" of boyfriend/girlfriend. I mean nothing has changed She's not even hanging out with another guy or anything cause I spend the night with her like 3 or 4 nights a week (including Fri/Sat). What the hell is the deal here? I'm so confused. I want to ask her about it, but I still like being with her, and I guess honestly I am afraid if I push the issue, she'll get freaked out. I know it's not healthy to do this to myself, but you guys know how it is... it's hard to pull away. Keep in mind: I don't initiate hardly any of our hanging out or spending the night, etc. I let her do that, but I certainly don't say "no" when she wants to hang out. Well, she did want me to spend the night last night and I told her I didn't feel like it. And then she wanted me to come over and hang out tonight, but I told her I had to go workout. I don't want to be a b**** and come whenever she wants me to.

I have one that I keep in my backpack, so I guess I do always tend to have one when I'm on campus. Otherwise, I wouldn't think of carrying one on me unless I knew I'd need it.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Feb 3, 2010 -> 10:41 PM) And the whole top of the SEC had spots left last year? Apparently. That's why I was surprised. Also, any of you Big 10 guys worried about the fact that the entire conference brought in 1 5-star prospect (Gholston to Michigan St)? I don't see how that can happen. Florida, Auburn, Alabama, LSU, and Tennessee all had at least 1 5-star guy in their classes alone. Really a down year for the Big 10 in recruiting.
