    Dusty is by most accounts a very engaging individual and a good man. He also set back this franchise with his archaic thinking and never took responsibility for his actions. I wish him well in his personal life, but in his baseball life, I never want to see him be successful. Call it petty(it is), but he could've ruined us for a long time if we weren't saved by a bloated payroll.

    If true,(and that quote from ccCub is pretty damning) I'm disappointed in White. He's been the guy through all of this that everyone seems to agree smells like a rose and deserves better. I understand his frustration with the situation after having to go through the coaching ordeal with Davis, not to mention his injuries, but still you made a committment to the school and even making an empty threat like that is bush league. But again, I'm willing to wait and hear everything(cause there's a lot of reports/rumors flying) before I lose respect for him.

    Not necessarily. I may have an extra. And there are still bleachers available for that date. I just can't buy any. Yeah assuming there's still some left when I get home today, it won't be a problem. I can't imagine I'd have to pay much more than 10 bucks over face for one anyway, so it's not a problem.

    Vance, are all your tickets for the meet up game spoken for?
  5. SouthSideRyan
    As long as we're pissing on all things Mizzou, I'm gonna point out that Illinois has like a 75 game winning streak against them in basketball. And we suck this year.

    Judging by the length of the name and the capitalization, it's DeAndre Thomas or DeShawn Thomas. Since other current college players were named and DeShawn Thomas is a minor, that's most likely who it is. Other minors were named. DeAndre Thomas was already implicated(probably the wrong word here) in the report that stemmed from the initial October self-reporting. It's likely him. Although Eric Gordon Jr. = DeAndre Thomas. Are you sure other minors were named? There are some current high school players named, but all are seniors I believe. They might not be minors (I am unsure). There are also no unsigned players that I know of -- well, besides Bud Mackey. And you're right, adding the "Jr." would change things. Didn't think about that. Derek Elston, IU committ in the class of '09 was named in the report.

    But what's the harm in making a token gesture?
  9. SouthSideRyan
    The way this is worded, it makes it sound like it's in the spirit of "... but other than THAT, how did you enjoy the show, Mrs Lincoln?" meh. I found it amusing. Konerko's a great baserunner.

    Guess who left their credit card at home?
  11. SouthSideRyan
    This is awesome.
  12. SouthSideRyan
    Independent of his blocking prospects though, this is a good deal. 1M for a #4/5? Sign me up.
  13. SouthSideRyan
    Zombie Dusty craves more arms.
  14. SouthSideRyan
    Of those three, I'd take Brownell. I might be biased, he went to my high school, but still. I like him a lot. If IU decides to go with a young up-and-comer, I hope it's Brownell. Of those 3 I'd rather you have Brownell too. Miller at IU scares the crap out of me.

    Mulleted fans? Domestic abuse convictions. Seriously though, south siders...beat their wives.

    Jock Jones running around the clubhouse in goggles?? Just kidding, I'll take a giant LEAP and guess which one your talking about. That picture of Jacques seriously is my favorite picture from last season.
  17. SouthSideRyan
    Permanent plz.
  18. SouthSideRyan
    Yeah, I'd definitely take Cabrera over Theriot. If Swisher is in CF, I'd take him over Pie, though Swisher's D will be pretty horrible if they stick him out there. Other than that, I'd take Vazquez over Lilly, and that's about it.
  19. SouthSideRyan
    um, Ryan, he probably won't if you're the one pitching He will if Millar's the one hitting.
  20. SouthSideRyan
    When one Ryan Theriot isn't enough...
  21. SouthSideRyan
    You'd think Deron was drafted on to the '97 Bulls with the way some people talk about him vs. Paul.
  22. SouthSideRyan
    This is just the 4th time Illinois has trailed at the half all year. That's incredible.
  23. SouthSideRyan
    seconded. It just looks sissy. Third. The worst part about the blues is wearing them with the pinstripe pants. My God, it's an abomination.
  24. SouthSideRyan
    Me and Cubbies75 concentrated on how our basketball team is littered with idiots. Score one for us. My favorite was SSR picking Chester Frazier 3rd Team All-Big 10. I haven't seen any teams out yet!!

    What happened there? Any reasons? Had leg injuries this year, played in only 3 games and had been passed on the depth chart by a couple freshmen in Tisdale and Davis, and likely a 3rd in Cole had he been healthy. In Illinois's guard oriented offense, being the 4th big man behind guys younger than you is pretty much useless. Recent talk was that he would take a redshirt for this season, but it's likely he wants a fresh start after what can only be described as a disaster of a start to his college career. The secondary importance from this to Illinois is that it frees the '10 scholarship up so both Richmond and Head have open schollies now. It was never a legit scenario that there wouldn't be one open for both, but more a matter of who wouldn't be using a scholly by then.
