CANDY LAND

QUOTE(Pauly8509CWS @ Feb 22, 2007 -> 01:28 PM) For the rest of you guys that go here, watch it again, I've been here for less than a year, but I got chills every halftime. Because that means, when the Chief is out there, the people you sing the Alma Mater with are basically like your family. You are one with them, You are the Illini Nation. I got a bit choked up yesterday, being on the floor for the last Chief performance, and you know what, I get choked up watching it. I grew up watching Illinois sports, and I came here excited to know that we had one of the most storied half times of all time, and now it's being taken away from us. Oh well, all I can say to the people who claim to be offended by Chief, get off your soap box. To those that are here and understand, don't let anyone forget that we at the University of Illinois, were robbed of one of the coolest things in collegiate athletics. i was up in C and it was one of the coolest experience i've ever been a part of. As soon as the half ends, EVERYONE shuts up and all you hear is: clap, clap, clap clap clap. I'll never forget it. QUOTE(LowerCaseRepublican @ Feb 22, 2007 -> 02:29 PM) There have been plenty of things that have recently left the U of I. Sadly, the Chief is like 2734798274893479824347th on that list. For starters: -Dignity: A scandal involving at least 7 players, assistant coaches and may stem all the way up to the coach for a severe underage DUI and attempted coverup when they thought a fellow player was dead. -Respect: Classrooms south of Green, anyone? They're reprehensible and not even up to fire code sometimes. -Honor: Using a no-compete contract with a soda manufacturer that uses death squads in Colombia to bust up unions. -Harassment: Harassment of minority students on campus and the campus crime rate. -The disappearance of mid-size lectures -The problems with the graduate union and the institution -The sheer delapidation of the academic integrity of some departments by not getting the best and brightest professors to establish UIUC as a major, respected research university. That's just to name a few. And it was a tradition. Just because it was a tradition and "gave me chills" does not mean that it is a tradition worth keeping. I chuckle at Chico Marx's over the top accent in the Marx Bros. films. Does that mean that every Italian then must keep an over the top accent in order to be funny as a character? Nope. It was a film stereotype and a tradition -- but one that people moved on from because it ended up being not only stupid but discriminatory. Just like the Chief. I'll agree that there are bigger problems on campus than the chief, but then why did people start focusing all their attention on getting rid of it? It's been around forever and it was the anti-chief group that started focusing a ton of attention on it.

really hoping 2k gets the job done this year, so pumped for a 360 baseball game.

me and the gf are going for march 20-24 to see them play the giants/mariners on the 21/22.

this SIU game has been a blast to watch.

MSU beating iowa 44-17 at the half, good god.

QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ Feb 17, 2007 -> 12:41 PM) My 2001 Bears hat >>>>>> your hat. it's pretty damn close.

QUOTE(witesoxfan @ Feb 17, 2007 -> 01:59 AM) let it play out. I don't think the Sox and Buehrle are done negotiating yet. I think they are, there has way too much publicity surrounding these talks. Way toomuch negativity has come out from both sides, my buehrle jersey is gonna be good for another year and that's pretty much it.

I don't think our hats are all that terrible. But i did love the old ones. I have one of them and it's the only sox hat I'll wear. It's over 4 years old, never been washed and pretty much disgusts everyone. It's my baby.

I think i'll be dreaming of that tonight.

You would think the opposers of the chief would maybe try and increase native american population on this campus and ya know, actually do something productive. The dance wasn't racist. If FSU can do it, we should be able to do it, period.

well that automatically puts me in a good mood.

2nd snow day in a row for this kid. college is fun

duke looked terrible that entire 2nd half, they don't have a real go-to-guy for the first time in a long time.

QUOTE(whitesoxfan101 @ Feb 10, 2007 -> 02:21 PM) What an amazing choke job, congrats on that. Time to get the NIT reservations settled and get ready for that fine recruiting class that will for sure make up the loss of Carter and McBride (and apparently Arnold too). What a waste of a season. wow. yeah losing away games in the big 10 against the 3rd place team completely makes us lose all credibility.

if the illini can pick up this W today, they'd do themselves wonders.

I think michael was the most unlikeable ever in tonight's episode.

So i went to 1/3 classes today. The one I did go to, we watched a movie for 60/80 minutes. Aaaaaand now it's the weekend for me.

I'd take the heat, no question. I HATE having to bundle up.

QUOTE(IlliniKrush @ Feb 6, 2007 -> 03:36 PM) So I heard there is like a 20 car accident at 294 and Ogden my dad will be thrilled.

anyone still have this or know what i'm talking about? It was just a picture of him, with a blue sky in the background, hitting the ball up in the air. It was really a perfect picture. SOMEONE FIND IT, por favor It's this picture, but without the stuff on the side. http://img232.exs.cx/img232/9375/ter2te.jpg

have a good one ian, prepare to buy me some booze.

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Feb 5, 2007 -> 09:29 AM) Alright so who wants to pick me up and drive me to class? I really don't want to walk there right now. just start building tunnels then.

that feeling of opening day, absolutely nothing like it.
