the [expletive] chant should be louder.

This is grass, not artificial turf.
-
I didn't go, either...
-
Looks like we'll see temps in the low to mid 50s Saturday night at Soldier Field with rain.
-
A yellow? Are you serious?

45,000+ tickets sold so far for next Saturday's match at Soldier Field.

They already had a non-con game slotted in the weekend before Thanksgiving since the Illinois/Northwestern game is moved up to mid-November for 2009 and 2010. That left Illinois with an open date for a non-con in 2010, as well, I would assume. Their future schedules are probably out somewhere, but they'll likely have a Big Ten opponent in the weekend before Thanksgiving for at least 2011 and 2012. Won't be Northwestern since that matchup will be in mid-October for those two years, but should have someone else. Since Big Ten now permits teams to schedule games for thanksgiving weekend, Illinois took advantage of that by scheduling Cincinnati, leaving their third week of the season open as a bye. The fact that they're ending with two straight non-con opponents is more of a coincidence than an intentional strategy. They already had to end the season with one and it just made more sense to push another to thanksgiving weekend since they'll be able to play on national TV as opposed to a possibly non-televised game in mid-September. It also gives them a bye week, albeit early in the season, when they otherwise would not have had one.

Fantastico. I've been waiting for TV information on that. I also saw that the Chicago qualifier, listed on ussoccer.com as being an ESPN Classic broadcast, will be on ESPN HD. Won't matter since I'll be there, but it's nice exposure on a Saturday night. The June 3 match will be on ESPN (non-HD, of course).

I wasted a lot of time this morning redownloading the match after my attempt last night never finished and converting the file so I could watch it at the gym only to have it spoiled by walking by a Spanish newspaper on my way to work.

StubHub tickets for Cubs games are all electronic tickets that have unique barcodes generated from the Cubs ticket system once they're sold (meaning they're different than the ones on the original tickets). There's basically zero risk.
-
Any predictions on what to expect from Altidore and his toe? Should he be at full-strength for the two early June qualifiers? I haven't heard any updated ticket numbers for the match at Soldier Field, but they just started advertising the hell out of it on TV and radio.

Sam's Army is south endzone on the eastern half, I believe. My only experience with a USMNT match is the Gold Cup final against Mexico. I'd imagine you'd be fine anywhere, though. If you're not super into it going in, you probably wouldn't want to jump right into a designated US fan supporter's section like Sam's Army. Not sure about ticket recommendations. Tickets seem to be selling well, but not a ton on stubhub or ebay.

7 of 22 for 3.
-
Nice job mastering the unnecessarily difficult runner this quarter.
-
House didn't move more than two feet, so he's allowed to jump around in place several times before shooting.
-
Perkins just punched Miller in the mouth and Miller gets the technical.
-
Salmons fouled twice on that drive.
-
HAH. Crazy refs.
-
Yay for chucking up mid-range, off balance shots.
-
3 3-pointers tonight. Have they even attempted one this quarter?
-
Cut it to 7, play lazy defense, repeat.
-
I have an idea. Let's drive to the hoop hoping they're going to call a foul. Surely the refs will oblige.
-
He needs a pillow if he's going to be down there that long.
-
Rondo needs his blanky.
-
I think Ben Gordon should keep driving to the lane, hoping for a foul call. It's really working so far.
