  1. Those two dunks, particularly the and-one, were fantastic. :D
  2. I've had an infected finger before. It always hurts, hurts even more if you use it or touch it to anything, and you have to needle it and stick it in epsom salts to make it better. It wasn't fun.
  3. How do you have an 11 man first team? That's ridiculous. When the conference expanded to 16 teams, they expanded the all-conference team. I don't really get it, either.
  4. Hope we have a dark blue alt or something. I hate gray.
  5. Oh my. I just remembered his brother is the pitching coach for the mid-market Brewers. I wonder if that won't be where he's going after this. Considering Milwaukee is to Maddux what the Generals were to the Globetrotters, I highly doubt this would happen. I'd also expect Maddux to want to play for a legitimate contender if he could.
  6. Damn. I was hoping we'd be completely overlooked by everyone coming into the season, as happened in 2003.
  7. I counted at least 3 shots made by LeBron with the shot clock under 4 that had no business going in, counting that one. Terrible game by the Bulls. Have I mentioned I'm sick of losing to Cleveland? The Bulls need to steal one back that they shouldn't get to make up for dropping both the Cavs games.
  8. Chris Quinn earns a very well-deserved spot on the (11-man) all-Big East first team. I hope someone gives him a look in the upcoming draft, because he's much more well-rounded than Matt Carroll was, and he's doing pretty well now with the Bobcats.
  9. We'd better win tonight. Bulls need a win, and I'm sick of losing to LeBron. 7:30 ET tip time on ESPN tonight.
  10. Have you ever been to NY during the BE tournament? Many of my friends have gone since the first one and never miss it. No, never been. It'd be awesome to go, though, especially to the first round 4-games-in-one-day event.
  11. Maybe with Wood and maybe Prior's 2004 injury. I don't think Prior's current condition or his being hit by a line-drive had anything to do with the 2003 work load. The sad thing is, I'd be perfectly willing to accept the crap we go through with Wood and Prior every year - if they'd closed it out in 2003. :(
  12. BSU at Buffalo tomorrow night in the first round of the MAC tourney. ND, as the 12th seed in the Big East, will play 5th-seed Georgetown on Wednesday at 2 p.m. (Thank you, South Florida. I really didn't want to play Marquette. And thank you, Rutgers. I didn't want to play Pitt either.)
  13. Then, in the next couple of weeks, there are hundreds of articles written about how the Cubs should trade the injury-prone Prior. Only half of these articles will actually mention the injury's cause, and those that do will stick it in at the very end.
  14. ND wins 66-61! We're goin' to New York, baby! BSU wins 89-77 to lock themselves in as the ninth seed in the MAC tourney, which begins on Monday.
  15. Speaking of which, Flames, I was wrong about DePaul being eliminated from Big East tourney contention. They can get in if they beat ND on Saturday (please don't) and Providence loses to Marquette on Saturday (likely). So they'd get in as the final seed and get humilated by UConn or Villanova. Great! The top 4 get byes. The 12th seed would play the 5 in the 1st round, and as that stands currently it would be Georgetown. Actually, I'd prefer that to playing Marquette, the 6, so I hope we don't succeed in passing Rutgers for the 11th spot, which we could do if we won and they lost their last game. I'm becoming more annoyed with Taquan Dean by the day. If he doesn't hit that buzzer-beating shot to send the game with ND to OT, the Irish are 10th instead of tied for 12th and are staring a game with Seton Hall down.
  16. Reminds me of when Peter Gammons picked Nomar to win the MVP last year, when there were 3 or 4 guys on the Cubs who had a better chance.
  17. I don't. That bastard Squeaky ruined my bracket by single-handedly knocking UK out a couple of years ago. UAB won. Wow. I'd think that pretty much kills Memphis's #1 seed.
  18. Without Hughes, you are probably right. But with Hughes, I can see us playing as good as anyone. He makes such a difference. Defensively, offensively, etc. That we can both agree on. We learned this in the 2005 first-round playoff series. :(
  19. Speaking of which, Flames, I was wrong about DePaul being eliminated from Big East tourney contention. They can get in if they beat ND on Saturday (please don't) and Providence loses to Marquette on Saturday (likely).
  20. What I really hope is that MLB.com's Top Plays archive stops shorting out and showing only video frames and not video after about 12 seconds into the highlight, as I noticed was going on today.
  21. has to be over 10, probably closer to 15 games. Absolutely sick how we have blown so many games this year. and btw, I hate the Cavs a lot too..not on the level of the Knicks and Pistons, but they are up there. Mostly because of the bandwagon Cavs "fans" at my school. LeBron gets way too much star treatment too, another thing that definitely turns me off from the NBA. I also don't like how pretty much every one of their games is on network TV just because of LeBron. Hello, we made the playoffs last year and I can count the number of network games that we have had this year on one hand. Something is not right with that. Actually, we've had a fair few national games this year. More than I expected actually considering we still don't really have a "star", and the NBA's TV schedule pretty much revolves around LeBron, T-Mac, Kobe, Carmelo, the Pistons, Shaq/Wade, and AI.
  22. I only hate the Knicks and Cavs. Knicks because they have so many unlikable ex-Bulls on the team, and Cavs because I can't stand how much leeway the refs give LeBron. I can only imagine how irritating it would be to play against Kobe more than twice a year with the calls he gets either.
  23. While I understand your frustration, it is impossible to say that they would have won the game with that shot.Maybe not but points are points and that should've been called. I refuse to blame the refs for these things though: - Un-clutch FT shooting by Gordon and Hinrich - Nocioni becoming brainless at the end of games - Skiles not drawing up a play for Gordon to get the ball right away (not off a stupid two-pass) - Flip Murray inexplicably shooting the best 3-pointer of his life when it comes late in the game down 2 to the Bulls
  24. I could be wrong, but I think they're eliminated already.
  25. The fact that the Bulls are shooting like 20 percent might have something to do with it too.
