Golf. He's at Pebble this week for the pro-am.

That was officially the worst call of the year

Yes, we've all heard your song and dance already If there's one thing to take out of our reactions in this thread, it's that we're satisifed with the Illinois basketball program. Yeah, not sure how somebody could get that impression with all the bitching we do about the lack of effort and stupidity that goes on on the court on a regular basis.

Not sure if this has been mentioned or not, but I heard about a huge incentive this morning for the owners to let the current deal expire. The judge who ruled in Vicks's favor (along with ruling in favor of the players on several other occasions) apparently will be removed from any involvement in collective bargaining if the current deal expires. This judge has been involved for 20+ years ever since making a ruling in favor of Reggie White that affected some part of the NFL's anti trust exemption. The owners are dying to get the judge out of the process apparently.

What do most of us expect from some of the question marks?

Which is why, if he does hit in the 2nd spot, it's so vital for Aramis to have a good year. I really think it's more important for Castro, being so young, than it would be for a lot of other guys that ARam has a good season so he actually gets pitches to hit. -
Cutler's not over 30.

In my best Sulley voice: Godless flopping chuckers!

Seriously, just put in Leonard, Richmond, Bertrand, Head, and maybe Cole and see what happens. It can't be much worse than this pathetic display.

So Davis gets tackled on the way to the hoop and no call, then Shurna falls down with the ball and no travel, then Davis gets a hand ful of jersey on defense and no call. These refs are excruciatingly bad.

He's been much more than an average recruiter at IU. It's actually been an amazing recruiting job. His in-game coaching is still very questionable though. I may just be underestimating how difficult it's been for IU, but it seems like if Crean is such a great recruiter, he should be doing better than well below .500 in the Big Ten in year 3. You're severely underestimating how difficult it is to take a team with zero upperclassmen, very few legit D1 guys, and build it into something resembling a competitive program. Convincing anybody with any talent to come to a program in the state IU was is an accomplishment in itself. He's not going to get the guys that Calipari does, so to be as competitive as they've been this year, especially considering the injuries, I think he's done a pretty solid job and I'm an Illini fan who hates IU.

I'm not a huge Mallet fan, but you can't hold the Sugar Bowl against him. That's an entirely different game if his receivers make catches they're supposed to make. The first pass of the game should have been a TD and there were a few others that were easy catches that got dropped. I don't remember the guy's name, but #5 for Arkansas was the biggest culprit on the drops. He was just bad that night.
-
That's a pretty big discrepancy, but I have to think that has a lot to do with their style of play, especially when they get behind and start pressing more aggressively.

New girlfriend time. Sounds like your girlfriend doesn't have to consent for you to have sex with her anymore....
-
Why would you have ever stopped? I did enjoy seeing Davis appear to have a pulse last night, but as has been mentioned, Penn State had guys my size going up against him (I'm 5'9").
-
There's something going on that we don't know about yet. They all tested negative for illegal drugs, but nobody has said anything about supplements or their weekend activities before Monday's workout (my guess is a lot of alcohol was consumed). They've been doing this exact same workout for years without any issues at all. My bet is that it comes out they got overloaded on protein supplements. That exact same thing happened to a buddy of mine in college and that's exactly what the problem was. He was a pretty serious weight lifter and was taking creatine, protein, and a few other totally legal supplements and ended up with too much protein in his system and the kidneys got overwhelmed. He got IV fluids at the hospital and was fine within a few days.

Certrtainly looks like the refs have decided they're going to make sure everybody knows they're out there tonight. Idiots.
-
Because one of the Mike's tampons might fall out.
-
Has the officiating been as bad as it's seemed to me? Illinois is playing really dumb basketball, but it seems like we're getting drilled around the hoop with no calls and as long as IU gets near the hoop a foul gets called.
-
Well, that story is most likely false. And if it's not false, those high school coaches/trainers should be indicted. Oh, it's false. There's no doubt in my mind about that. I had a teammate in high school who blew out his knee over the summer and was barely able to run cross country (you know, straight forward running with no cutting on potentially uneven ground) that fall and had surgery on the knee 2 days after our last meet. There's no way in hell you could even think about playing soccer with no ACL.
-
After all the bashing, I think it can be nothing but a good thing when guys like Brees and Rivers say stuff like this. They have a bit of perspective on things and may shut some people up considering that, you know, they're actually NFL QBs.

My weakness is this sausage dip. A pound of hot pork sausage and a pound of mild. Brown the sausage, throw it in a crock pot with 2 bricks of cream cheese and a can of Rotel Cilantro and Lime. Let it all melt and use the Tostitos scoops for dipping. Absolutely awful for you but so delicious.

Maybe not this year, but the Rams started their 2nd round pick from this year at LT from day 1 and he's going to be at that spot for a long time.

Intentional!!!!

Gil Meche retires
mul21 replied to UMFan83's topic in MLB Draft, International Signings, Amateur Baseball
Can you name me a player who retired (whether he just quit or because of injuries) while still on his contract and not get paid at all whatsoever?? Cuz I can't think of one. If you can and it's legit, I'll shut up and eat my words on it. I'm just thinking cuz the player's union is going to back up the players, they're just not gonna let the owner have that money to himself even if Meche doesn't want the money. I mean I'm even trying to think of a player (who quit/retired due to injury) during a season and not get paid after he was done cuz they still pay him for the rest of the year. That's a little different, but still kinda the same (they didn't pay the player a prorated portion of the salary cuz he retired/quit partway through the season cuz the contract was voided the day he retired). I mean this can't be the first time someone ever done what Meche is doing now right??? Maybe I should just shut up cuz I don't understand or something... Maybe there is a clause in the contract where the contract is voided if you retire on your own term. I don't have that much knowledge about the contract and retirement so I'm just wondering and trying to figure it out. So you think that if you have a contract and decide you don't want to show up for work anymore that your employer still has to pay you? Really?
