I'm really excited about our rotation. If they can stay healthy, I think we'll have a chance at making the playoffs.
I'm not as optimistic as you, but that's why I'm suprised so many people pick the Sox to finish last. They could arguably have the 2nd best rotation in the division.

Well, how about that.
Thatd be a crappy place for this series to end.
That was unexpected. Sounds like it's 50/50 whether or not it comes back for another season.

You have to wonder, if this shakes down the way it seemingly is, what the HELL Illinois' A.D. is/was doing...
At this rate, I wouldn't be suprised if K-State signs Groce in the next day or two.

Sounds like we got our guy at South Carolina, I'll be interested to see which way Illinois goes now...
Basketball powerhouse South Carolina steals Frank Martin, while Illinois steals John f***ing Groce. LOL.

Only if you consider the circumstances. A guy who takes over a 2 win team and turns them into a 20 win team 3 years later will have a terrible record.
The year before he got to Ohio, the team won 20 games.

LOL, proving once again that a college's coach's record means everything you need to know right?
It tells you something. I mean, the whole point of basketball is to win games, right?
QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Mar 26, 2012 -> 10:18 AM)
That seems like the kind of record a team might put up when they hire a new coach and that coach struggles his first year or two then has the team gradually improving?
Granted they have improved under him, but it would be nice to actually win a weak conference like that.
QUOTE (RockRaines @ Mar 26, 2012 -> 09:40 AM)
Yet he's had actual tournament wins, and for a MAC team thats pretty tremendous. He also comes from a pretty successful coaching tree.
34-30 in the MAC. Mediocrity at its finest.
QUOTE (IlliniKrush @ Mar 25, 2012 -> 09:55 PM)
I'd be shocked if it's anyone but Groce.
I'll expect the presser Tuesday or Wednesday.
f*** that. If it happens, I will continue my Illini basketball boycott. Ohio never even won a conference title in the MAC. What a joke.

I haven't minded it this season, but tonight's episode might have been the worst one of the series.
Thanks for the heads up. I had deleted it from my queue this morning and that justifies my decision.
Brad Stevens says no. Found this tweet interesting.
Gary Parrish@GaryParrishCBS
I'm told Brad Stevens' coaching friends advised him against the Illinois job -- basically said, "That's not the job for you."

Borat Anthem played instead of Kazakhstan real national anthem
I had seen that. Absolutely hilarious. They just downloaded the "Kazak national anthem" from the interent and got the wrong one, lol.

I think she is pretty, but to each their own, I guess. I know she isn't the supermodel type that a lot of guys on here get.
I'm not saying that she is some fugly woman that I wouldn't let near me. It's just personally there's nothing about her that makes her especially attractive to me.
