I like what he has now, they just need to blast it more and maybe start it in a better spot. C'mon, him coming out of the gate as they blast "BOOM! here comes the boom!" is pretty awesome. It's no gong though.

Wow, messed up. RIP

Illinois with an easy victory of Eastern, 42-17. Offense looked real comfortable and the D made some big plays when needed. Juice's first drive was ridiculously good, he looked so comfortable in the pocket. The only negative from the entire game was the amount of fumbles. Promising win over an easy opponent.

Pumped to head off to memorial stadium in about an hour. Wow, michigan wasn't impressive.

no reason to be out right now.

QUOTE(SinkingShip06 @ Sep 2, 2006 -> 01:10 AM) Pods 2006 = Timo 2005 except we have to deal with pod's s*** every single day. I've never seen a team that is this inconsistent. They can come together so perfectly for one game, then look absolutely terrible the next. If jose doesn't find whatever he lost, this team is done.

The intro to "jenny is a friend of mine" by the killers is one of the coolest guitar sounds i've ever heard.

we already tried the david wells experiment, when he was a better pitcher too. I'll pass

wow, i can't believe he actually got HBP on his first at bat, the baseball gods are pleased.

QUOTE(Tony82087 @ Aug 29, 2006 -> 02:02 PM) I caught Carmen and Silvy for 10 min last night, and Carmen said he had some "Inside Scoop" that Gordon was as good as gone from Illinois... that rumor just keeps getting louder and louder as time goes by.

QUOTE(Steff @ Aug 29, 2006 -> 09:34 AM) I would guess the first buyer would get screwed. I was more suggesting it for those of you looking to buy used and save a few bucks. yeah, buying used is the way to go If its possible. The problem is that so many new versions of these books come out, not too many classes can use alot of these used books.

QUOTE(Steff @ Aug 29, 2006 -> 08:08 AM) Don't they have a turn in program at college? At St Xaviar we had that where you turned in your books at the end of the semester, got some $$ back, and they were resold to incomming students. While the course changed some, the books were usually goot for 3 or 4 cycles. we do have that, but it's pretty much a ripoff. You'll get like 30% back. QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Aug 29, 2006 -> 08:45 AM) Wait until you have to be at work that early... or earlier. hey old man river, zip it, or i'll break your hip.

QUOTE(IlliniKrush @ Aug 28, 2006 -> 11:31 PM) Just for the record, i had nothing to do with your attendance problems last year. this is actually correct for the most part. I can only think of a few times where you were myr eason for ditching. QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ Aug 28, 2006 -> 10:47 PM) So, you guys would pretty much recommend skipping the lectures where you could pretty much get the info from reading the books or from internet notes? I had two classes today. One was my English class. Mainly, my teacher -- seemed like a real cool guy -- said that a lot of the writings would be done in class. Plus, it's an 11:00 class, so its not like one of those pain-in-the-ass classes where I have to wake up real early. The other was my history class. This one seemed like a class I could miss a lot more, but unfortunately the professor said that you can only miss a maximum of six classes per semester. Oh well, I'll be sure to use 'em all, I guess... well, maybe i should have prefaced my statement saying that all of the classes that I do "regularly" skip, are the gigantic lectures. I'm talking 6-700 people, where attendance isn't mandatory and has nothing to do with your grade. But like others have said, go to every class your first few weeks and you'll be able to figure out which classes require what amount of work and so on. And like others have said, don't fall behind........period. That stuff worked in high school, but in college it's just way too hard to catch up.

QUOTE(bmags @ Aug 28, 2006 -> 08:56 PM) there seem to be 3 tracts in college: 1)The kids that go to class but don't buy the books cause they realize the teacher just goes over the s*** in class. 2)The kids that don't go to class but know the books by heart cause they know that the teacher just goes over that s*** in class 3) And me, the kid whose too scared to do either this early in his career. i've definitely fallen into category number 2. My first year I went to almost every class. Last year, not so much. It's all about going to almost every one the first week or so, figuring out which ones you need to go to everytime and which ones you don't. Like this semester, my nutrition class, the lectures are straight out of the book. If i just keep up with the readings, lecture is pointless. While my econ class, I will have to go to everyday just because of the crazy material and the way the class is structured. I've always been the kind that will learn more reading and doing problems than taking notes on a lecture, where all the same info is in the book.
