I want to see the class list Nichols is in after that little interview. :-s

Hey thats my cousin, oh and your new uniforms well Nike's new uniforms suck. Get out! Mookie has to finish and I'm sure he'd agree with me! I really don't know if we are related or not. It is my moms maiden name though. Plus I like his attitude.

Really as pink tie on top of a pink striped shirt, with your pink marker? Come on now Digger. You ain't that kind of pimp.

We win two games and it doesn't matter. We win only 1 and we sweat. We don't win any and we better decline the NIT bid. Lunardi didn't have as a bubble big ten team on Sportscenter the other day. He had us as an in. Time will tell. decline the NIT bid? what's the point of that? This season has been a nightmare, Weber needs the head start to recruit the '08 guys. I would just as well get it over with. Plus the NIT should be unacceptable for our program considering where we were the past 5-10 years. acceptable or not, I think it's crap to deny your kids (especially the seniors) more opportunities to play, especially if you get a home game or two. I don't think we owe McBride anything. Arnold was only here for a few years. Carter, you may have a point. Jesus I can't believe this is even an option two years after almost running through a whole season undefeated. Bravo, Bruce.

I'm not worried about what these guys think I'm worried about what Mark Prior thinks and feels. I think that Prior is following the regiment that House has him on and it's going to be a gradual processs. My question is if as many have said that Prior has never had a pitching injury why is he taking so long to come back and what exactly is wrong with him? Well at this point he has to have a mental block as well. I really wonder if this isn't similar to the Knoblach, Ankiel, Sax thing. Could be, I was thinking that he has the superstar effect. I've seen kids dominate for awhile and when they finally hit the top level they meet failure for the first time and how they react to that shows a lot to me. I never liked what I saw from Prior when he was struggling and I'm not sure he has the mental makeup to be able to fight when he isn't on top of his game. He's still young and I hope he can prove me wrong but he has a ways to go before he can be the pitcher he was in 2003 or 2004. The 2003 Prior is gone. That's why it hurts so much we didn't win it all that year. I still think he can get back to being a good pitcher, his window is shrinking though. What is that stat or thing that posters bring out when a pitcher is overused? What was Prior at in 2003...I just thought of it, abuse rating. That or Dusty's stupidity. Game 2 we are up what 9-0 and we let him throw 130 pitches. Thanks Dusty, thanks a bunch. Thanks for reminding me of that! Was Cruz on the playoff team at the time? If he was or another reliever was ready to go, this is where Baker shot down the whole series due to his narrow thinking. I don't think he was. Game 7 was a clinic. Jack uses Beckett to get to the world series. Meanwhile we saved Zambrano and Clement for games 1 and 2 in the world series. Silly Jack he won't have anyone to pitch those games. Or in game 1 when we decided it was better to face Lowell than Lenny Harris. My dad and brother still love that one.

Well, if he is done I think we can all give a big thank you to Dusty Baker. Let's hope he isn't.

I don't think he is. I think he is a hanger on at the next level. I don't know who the big names would be though as you never know which foreign guys will go. I also like Thaddeus Young and Brendan Wright.

I think they should lose just so they can start another 10 game winning streak. I don't think 3 is enough yet. Personally, I'd like to see them win out. :lol: I wouldn't. 72-10 is the benchmark. Plus those Bulls would have ran these Mavs.

Well you are in the minority then. Last year while everyone said they were gushy about George Mason, it didn't translate to ratings.

Warren Carter was on the second team. There is no justice in this world. Warren, while good didn't step us and win us one big game all year. Thus he shouldn't be a 2nd team all conference pick.

Yeah because Beltre was such a deal... and Sexson

Yeah, he had a relief appearance. How did he throw

Seriously though has Angel Guzman pitched yet this spring?

:shock: :lol: Hey it ridiculous right? So is thinking a guy who has as much rust as Prior coming out throwing harder than he did at his absolute best. He just needs to keep improving.

The good Mark Prior died a few years ago. He is buried with the black Michael Jackson.

Illinois has made it to the semis of the btt every year it has been in Chicago. This years squadron should be able to take care of that little streak with another great performance, also known as peeing down your own leg in close meaningful games.

I wanted to see Hansbrough go ape on Henderson.

What a great job K did this year. &th in conference. A spot for each McDAA on the team. :roll:

Considering we were down all game. :P
