  1. Illini finally wins and Broch has his dander up. LOOK OUT EVERYONE
  2. Your insanity has diminishing returns of entertainment value, especially against Golden Gopher A&M who no one cares about. Save it for IU or Purdue
  3. no one is watching because Illinois basketball sucks
  4. You're up by 10 on the road, WTF
  5. I can't think the sport is boring and repetitive without it being a macho thing? I'm just not sure what the difference between figure skating and any other winter olympic individual sport is, aside from the judging scores (which they've tried to get better at by having no top score and every "trick" have a base score before deductions). I get that the ice dancing is pretty lame since there are basically zero jumps, so it's all artistic flair, but figure skating is similar especially to any of the other trick based events in skiing and snowboarding. At the olympics, I prefer to watch the events in which the olympic event is definitely the biggest deal for the sport. With all the skiing and snowboarding trick events at the X-games, I actually prefer figure skating to the two. I was just being flippant, but honestly I prefer none of the above. The winter games are awful because so many of the events are arbitrary judged silliness, figure skating and trick skiing included. That the figure skating is so popular and abundant in the winter games and therefore gets so much airtime(even relative to gymnastics in the summer games) makes it worse. Agreed, the winter Olympics are easily MUCH worse than the summer games. Plus: hockey. It's a nightmare that robs me of my TV shows. what TV shows are you missing at 10am on a Wednesday?
  6. They play in Columbus. These were the games that mattered. The Olympics never matter
  7. I'm only happy for Russia's loss because all four CBJ Olympians were on that team and now they can come home and practice for the games that matter
  8. Lucky for you, his actual name is David
  9. The refs have learned that Illini fans are the whiniest bitches on earth and have (correctly) decided that you don't deserve to win Good one. Nailed it. He already thinks the refs are out to get him, might as well give him a reason for it
  10. You're gonna love it in three months when we switch to "is it too early to root for the Cubs to lose?" arguments. I'll have you all on my ignore list by then.
  11. Inognito sure loves him some hookers
  12. The refs have learned that Illini fans are the whiniest bitches on earth and have (correctly) decided that you don't deserve to win
  13. I barely even read the Cubs Discussion board at all anymore. It's nothing but Kyle, jersey and David having the same circular argument in every [expletive] thread, all of which make me want to inject heroin into my forehead. I watched all of three games last season and I might bet the under on that this year
  14. because they're scoring over and over but in the NHL, you cycle through new guys. If it goes 7 or 8 "innings", you're 3rd SO skater doesn't do innings 3-8
  15. why are the same two guys shooting over and over?
  16. Kane vs. Bobrovsky.....that's a fun matchup. Tried going 5-hole and got stonewalled
  17. I think interference getting called more consistently also helps the pace. I think that is something the NHL could easily do and have at times tried, but do not carry through. I just love that it makes forechecking/line clogging a bigger risk, because if you whiff, you get burned. It speeds up the action and keeps it from just being dump and chase/tie-up on the wall hockey
  18. So any chance the NHL moves to the bigger ice? I guess some arenas might not be able to accommodate it, but it's such a beautiful thing to watch
  19. We've got a chain called Donato's that makes amazing pepperoni pizza. They put a million slices on, and the pepperoni is really crispy, which is amazing
  20. He was fantastic on "That's Incredible!"
  21. Confetti/balloons! You're the 1,000,000th person to make this joke today
  22. Penn State can't beat anyone, but they win @OSU and @IU? Lol, ok
  23. In non-beer news, apparently the NCAA is considering a rule that would make it illegal to snap the ball for 10 seconds after it's spotted and the play clock starts. This is to make it "fair" for defenses to have time to substitute players. In other words, Nick Saban bitches loudly about no-huddle offenses and the NCAA bows down to it
  24. Ohio State is one of the worst 19 win teams in the country
  25. I'm all for the trolling, but someone explain to me the point of a baseball mock draft?
