  1. he's a decent coach but wow, money better spent elsewhere. Yeah like on a top flight running back.
  2. That's amazing if true.
  3. I would say between Taillon and Allie they have a chacne to get one. Plus they will probably pick Cole.
  4. He'll be the first in a long, long line to do that to Houston this year. That is true. The Pirates are batting Lyle Overbay clean up and the Astros are batting Bill Hall 5th. :? Don't know why they don't have Alvarez batting 4th. Pirates should be trying to get Walker, McCutchen and Alvarez as many ab's as possible. The Pirates seem to be collecting a lot of really talented guys now that they are willing to spend in the draft.
  5. april fool's rumor? I don't think so.
  6. Why did Barry Larkin leave the network? Dammit Barry.
  7. So we all agree Cubs win 100 plus this year right?
  8. Rumor floating the Jereme left Illinois. Superb if true. :banghead:
  9. Light-skinned black Mr. Longstreet, is that you?
  10. Oh come on, it's totally the Cubs fault. He used to be a gold glover, but our guys told him to suck defensively.
  11. On the bright side they won't have an A.M. practices. Should be easy to sell that to recruits. Unless they're 3 AM practices Billy's getting some strange at 3 A.M.
  12. Dusty showed you stat guys. lol.

  14. Self was still trying to recruit the Chicago area. He wasn't gonna say anything too good about Illinois. And it worked. He got Wright and Collins. Well that's because Bruce is racist I love that someone was telling the CPL coaches that, and they were buying it. Yep old Racey McRacist the guy who Deron Willimas brought to the NBA Draft with him.

  16. weber went all spazzy when he came in (bill self is not walking through that door) and dee and deron threatened transfer. it may have been the right thing to do at the time, but self probably didn't appreciate it. He did the interview too where he said he was 2-0 against Self. Even though they were 1-1 at that point. Weber kind of claimed he outcoached Bill, that and the funeral. If Self hates Weber (and I doubt the feelings are that strong; he probably just thinks he's sort of a putz), I don't think it has much to do with the funeral. I think it had more to do with Weber saying he's whipped Self's butt in the two meetings. Weber also accused Self of not coaching the Illini up (the famous "You can't even do a left-handed layup" line to Dee), and he said Self was more interested in being the players' buddy than their coach. Personally, I never saw the big deal with the funeral gambit. Why should Self be offended by that? But the other stuff was a direct insult to Self as a coach, and I'm sure he wasn't too fond of that. I think Nick Smith actually said the buddy thing.
  17. Thom Brennamen talking about how Bettancourt is not that bad. Awesome.
  18. Yeah he flirted with Arkansas. He wasn't staying at Illinois for the long haul.
  19. He was fine until he did the funeral thing. Not sure what he thought that would prove? He's not the most savvy guy in the world. It worked on the team though. The interesting thing about all of this to me is that Weber is looking around a bit. He must be starting to feel a bit of heat.

  22. Yay! Another year on the bubble.
  23. Please let this happen. And please RG don't let the 2011 kids out of their LOIs.
  24. I don't eihter, but I think if they are in conference Bill will run it up versus him a lot. And he will be able to early on, OU is really bad right now.
