Legion and Meacham both suck, hard to win when your 2 guards can't score.

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Feb 5, 2009 -> 09:36 PM) i dunno wtf is up with this team. they can't buy a bucket to save their lives. Meacham sucks and Davis has been terrible lately.

No one gives a s*** about women's basketball. But the damn Illinois game on.

QUOTE (Rex Hudler @ Feb 4, 2009 -> 01:32 PM) Hence the line "For USC standards" Missed that my fault, and USC just landed Jarvis Jones another top 100 player. Now it is hard to say the class if falling apart even by their standards.

QUOTE (Rex Hudler @ Feb 4, 2009 -> 12:28 PM) Kids do dumb things. Apparently a JUCO OL Bobby Massey picked up a Alabama hat today, started as if was going to put it on then tossed it on the floor and put on an Ole Miss cap. My guess is that ND made an impact on T'eo while they were in Hawaii for the Hawaii Bowl. But I never game them a realistic chance either. For USC standards, it seems like this recruiting class may be falling apart for them. Burfict (sp?) has chosen Arizona State, it is my understanding. Sort of but they got commitments from 3 4* players today including a LB. That is the ridiculous thing about USC, lose 2 5* players, just replace them with a bunch of 4* players.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Feb 4, 2009 -> 12:07 PM) Wow he signed with ASU. Thats a complete shocker, #2 player out of Cali. It sounds like his grades are terrible and ASU has a program at the school that is designed to basically keep even the dumbest people eligible and that is why he chose ASU.

QUOTE (whitesoxbrian @ Feb 3, 2009 -> 09:44 PM) I hope the Trojans can land Te'O tomorrow. He's now down to USC, UCLA, and Utah, but I am kind of concerned about a Mormon trip that he wants to take in 2-3 years. Yet, I'm sure at that time a player behind him on the depth chart could fill in. Also, I hope Burfict sticks with USC. I have an odd feeling he could change his mind. Burfict switched to ASU earlier today.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Feb 3, 2009 -> 12:03 PM) To be fair, we have seen guys like Jr, Everett, and Makowiak play out there. They don't seem to value defense out there too much. And considering the other options appear to be Wise and Owens I would gladly give up some defense to have a legitimate MLB baseball player in CF.

No way can you overturn that call. Amazing play.

QUOTE (whitesoxfan101 @ Feb 1, 2009 -> 04:33 PM) Today was a tough game in the sense they they were playing a mediocre opponent, at home, coming off a bad and painful loss in an important game. It was just a survive and get the win type of situation, and Illinois deserves credit for at least doing that today. Iowa is pretty good for the 2nd worst team in the Big 10 though standingswise I will say that, especially with them not being healthy. This years Big 10 is the best league without a legitimate Final Four contender I can remember seeing. Michigan State is not a legit contender. You can't be considered that if you lose at home to Penn State and Northwestern, no matter how improved they are, and I still think Purdue is too small. MSU is basically playing without their 2nd best player because Morgan has basically been out with a respiratory infection for the last couple of weeks.

QUOTE (Rex Hudler @ Jan 31, 2009 -> 08:40 PM) I'm thinking what happened today was a reaction to Krabbenhoft and other such fouls recently. Big Ten officials and supervisors of officials evaluate games on tape. They likely told them to tighten things down to make sure things get out of hand so you get the call today coming from that. Just some speculation....... That is very possible. Still a ridiculous over reaction though. Call it a foul, hell call it a flagrant foul, but I've never seen an ejection for someone swinging their elbows to clear space.

QUOTE (Brian @ Jan 31, 2009 -> 05:22 PM) What does Copeland expect? Up 15, you don't try and score there. Pull the ball out and run the clock out. I was pissed at Copeland because I had UNC giving 14 1/2 and I technical there could have cost me the cover.

QUOTE (whitesoxbrian @ Jan 31, 2009 -> 04:57 PM) Who will be the top 4- UConn, Oklahoma, Pitt, and UNC? UNC needs to win today first. Oh, and speaking of which has there been a worse non big guy McDonald's All American than Bobby Frasor ever?

QUOTE (Brian @ Jan 31, 2009 -> 02:13 PM) How do you eject Manny Harris for that? Foul yes, but christ. You eject Michigan's best player at the beginning of the 2nd half for that? Garbage. Big 10 officials are completely incompetent. I love that this play gets an ejection but the Krabbenhoft elbow to Lewis Jackson didn't even get a foul.

QUOTE (Felix @ Jan 29, 2009 -> 11:18 PM) It was 20 times in a row, not 21. That was an awesome game. Holding any team to only 36 points in a game is fantastic, regardless of what you say about Illinois' performance. Our offense wasn't great, but Sampson, Iverson, and Westbrook all had great games. The rebounding was amazing, especially the offensive boards. I just can't believe we finally beat Illinois It was the perfect storm of really good defense and unbelievably bad offense.

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Jan 29, 2009 -> 10:56 PM) Well at least you guys arent Wisconsin this year. Right now they are just horrible and the biggest problem is that Marcus Landry has become useless and its so hard for Bo to bench his seniors. (Its hard to say it but Landry and Krabbenhoft have been liabilities, especially when they are both on the court.) Who would you want him to play though? It isn't like Wisconsin has a lot of depth.

You know, I'm not pissed we lost and I'm not pissed they played bad, but I am pissed that they quit in the last 5 minutes of the game. That almost never happens with a Weber coached team. Oh and props to Minny for their D tonight they challenged almost every shot and of course even when we did have an open shot or layup we missed it anyway. They would have struggled to score against a 7th grade girls team tonight.

QUOTE (whitesoxfan101 @ Jan 29, 2009 -> 10:29 PM) When you beat a team 21 times in a row, the odds say a loss is imminent, especially when your opponent is pretty good and it's on the road. At the same time, this is one of the worst offensive games I've ever seen any college team play, let alone Illinois. Just an all around terrible performance. Legion has been disappointing, Davis didn't want to play tonight and Trent hasn't hit a shot in a month.

The Illinois/Minnesota game is setting basketball back 50 years.

QUOTE (ChiSox_Sonix @ Jan 29, 2009 -> 12:26 PM) I saw G'Town really take it to Connecticut in Storrs earlier this year and Summers and Monroe played great. I didnt say I thought they could win, but with those two playing well I could see them winning 2 or 3 games. Same with Gonzaga. Obviously they have played porrly at times but they have the talent (Heytvelt, Daye, Pargo, Bouldin) to cause trouble to some teams. Louisville has just flat out looked great in the last couple weeks. Also, losing to Minnesota isnt a killer as Minnesota has a decent team at least. Plus, its college hoops, it happens (UNC/BC for example). Samuels is really playing well right now and Sosa has been shooting great. They are athletic and right now could play with anyone in the country IMO. And I only mentioned the unranked teams like Florida, ND and Kansas more to point out that a lot of the teams that are currently ranked just arent really that great. Georgetown can't shoot the ball which is obviously going to keep them from doing anything in the tourney. They have good wings but they have no depth inside and they are terrible 3 pt shooting team. Monroe and Summers are very good but the rest of that team just isn't that great. I will say that their athleticism can make them a tough out come tourney time. Louisville is clearly not the same team they were early in the year. But the reason for their turnaround is simple, they are the best defensive team in the country. I still don't like their guards at all (Sosa has been terrible this year and only shot the ball well in his last game) but Williams, Clark, and Samuels is as good as it gets for a frontcourt. They still need to get better on the offensive side of the ball to be a true final 4 team.

QUOTE (dasox24 @ Jan 29, 2009 -> 01:56 AM) And Tennessee loses again... NIT bound! Most disappointing season in UT basketball history so far... How the hell did we beat Georgetown and Marquette??? Georgetown really isn't that good. Can't explain the Marquette win though.

QUOTE (bigruss22 @ Jan 28, 2009 -> 11:49 PM) I wasnt a huge fan of the sesame street references, but they were tolerable because the rest of the episode was so good. I must say, I Elliot when she dresses down, she looks so damn good. And Kelso losing his angry niche is kind of sad, I mean he really lost it at the end of the episode. I always loved his feuds with the Janitor. Finally, Ive heard rumors about that spinoff, but anybody have more details on how it would be? Just no JD if he doesnt come back? Or do they jsut start new with the newest set of interns (as in get rid of Chalke, Faison)? Braff has already said he isn't coming back, Bill Lawrence isn't coming back an Judy Reyes (Carla has said she isn't coming back). Without JD and Carla it wouldn't make sense to have Turk and Elliot so I think Chalke and Faison would be gone. So basically yes the rumors are that it will be basically a new cast. My guess is the show would revolve around Dr. Cox as chief of medicine with new interns and doctors. I'm not really sure how I would feel about that.

Wow, just horrible defense by Duke on that inbounds play.

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Jan 28, 2009 -> 02:29 PM) From the reply it looked like a clean play all around. Jackson had no idea the Wis player was there, until he was on the floor looking up. That was not even close to a clean play. He clearly throws an elbow that hits Jackson square in the face. If you watch that and think that is a clean play, well then you badly need your eyes checked because I fear you are going blind.

In other news, Ed Hightower is still a terrible official.
