  1. Lunardi just likes to hear himself talk this time of the year. His last Bracketology posted on Espn.com has the last four in as Purdue, Illinois, Drexel, and Old Dominion. The last four out are Air Force, Florida State, Kansas State and West Virginia and next four out are Missouri State, Stanford, Appalacian State and Mississippi State. What in the world could Kansas State and Stanford have done for themselves since this morning that moved them up to the last four in? Either he was full of you know what this morning or is now. He just moves teams around so his reports seem interesting. Not that it really matters, Illinois has one and done written all over them this year. But they are more deserving than Kansas State and Stanford. Yep, well said on everything. Kansas State and Stanford have no right in being ahead of Illinois for a spot tomorrow. Lunardi is becoming an egotistical, arrogant meathead these last couple of years. And I'll agree that Illinois has one and done all over them. BUT, that does not mean they should be snubbed over a couple of other undeserving teams. I don't know about Kansas State but Stanford most definitely deserves to be in over Illinois without question.
  2. But his lack of "it" wasn't quite as disheartening as his last appearance. Yes, Prior made noticeable improvements. What did he do better for those of us who didn't watch? Tim put it best: http://www.northsidebaseball.com/Blogs/ Well that is definitely some good news. Hope he continues to improves. How sweet it would be to have a healthy and effective Prior this year.

  4. There's ABSOLUTELY nothing wrong with short girls, so long as they're not stubby. I'd take a 4'10" girl with a hot body over a 5'10" girl with a hot body anyday, and I've dated both. It doesn't take a lot of imagination to figure out why. I couldn't date a girl almost 2 feet shorter than I am. Both weird and ackward. Of course, 5'2" was a different story, so maybe I'm wrong. But seriously, I was taller than that when I was 8. Agreed. Give me the 5'10 girl anyday. Out of curiosity, how tall are you anyway Careless? As for the actual question, considering I'm looking at Beyonce at the cover of the SI Swimsuit issue right now, I'll go with her. But you can't go wrong with either.
  5. :shock: at the Oregon-USC score, 78-46 Oregon.
  6. Maybe if Holy Cross gave out cars and money to their players, they could compete as well. But they don't.
  7. Dude is unreal.
  8. If he would have hustled, not only would ARam made it to third standing up, he would have had an inside the park home run.
  9. Thanks for posting. Should be some good matchups. I really like the AC Milan/Bayern Munich matchup. Hopefully they'll show that game on 4/3. I doubt it. English teams always get preference. My bets are on PSV-'Pool and Man U-Roma Are they not going to be showing games on espn2 and classic at the same time? I'm not sure if they will or not but I was just referring to ESPN2 since I don't get Classic.
  10. I hope Lunardi's wrong. But with some mid majors (Butler and Nevada) that were locks not winning their conference tournament, it takes spots away from bubble teams. It would be nice if the Pac-10 got 6 teams in the tournament though. Plus, he has Illinois in the tournament right now and they don't deserve to be there, at least not over Stanford.
  11. Wow. Just heard this on ESPN. Bill Simmons has probably passed out in disbelief by now.

  13. 2006: Taurean Green, Lee Humphrey 2005: Raymond Felton, Rashad McCants 2004: Ben Gordon 2003: Gerry McNamera 2002: Juan Dixon, Steve Blake 2001: Jason Williams, Chris Duhon A center is going to be ineffective if he doesn't have guards that can get him the ball.
  14. "You're a sick sonofa...., Mac." "How you doin' Mac?" "Good enough...to (do) your mother." I made a blind purchase of Beerfest on the recommendation of a co-worker. Seen it and any thoughts, soccer? Great movie. It's not as funny as the best parts of Super Troopers (i.e. about the first half of ST) but it sustains the comedy throughout the whole movie and doesn't drag at all.
  15. Good to see the Cubs bats come alive today. I love the 13 hits through 5 innings.

  17. Final scores from today Manchester United 1, Lille 0 Bayern Munich 2, Real Madrid 1 PSV Eindhoven 1, Arsenal 1 AC Milan 1, Celtic 0, ET Aggegate Manchester United 2, Lille 0 Bayern Munich 4, Real Madrid 4 (Bayern Munich advances on away goals) PSV Eindhoven 2, Arsenal 1 AC Milan 1, Celtic 0 Teams in bold advance to the quarterfinals. The eight teams that advanced are Manchester United, Bayern Munich, PSV Eindhoven, AC Milan, Chelsea, Liverpool, Roma, and Valencia. The draw for the remainder of the tournament will take place on Friday.
  18. :lol: He is the universal face! "He's a straight shooter with upper management written all over him."
  19. Real Madrid pull one back with 7 minutes to go on a penalty kick by Ruud van Nistelrooy. Two red cards were given as well, one to each team on second yellow cards to both players. I'm still bitter ESPN2 picked the Man U-Lille match over this one.
  20. That was superb run by Ronaldo. The guy would be considered such a better player and would be a much popular player around the world if he didn't dive so much. But as it stands now, he's know just as much for his skill with the ball at his foot as he is for his penchant for diving. It was also horrendous marking by Lille as Larson was in the middle of a triangle of Lille defenders all of whom were 5-10 yards away from Larson.
  21. Manchester United, up 1-0 today and 2-0 on aggregate over Lille, and Bayern Munich, up 2-0 today and 4-3 on aggregate over Real Madrid, appear to have clinched berths in the final 8. One goal will not send Madrid through as will need two goals to advance because Bayern has 2 away goals. AC Milan-Celtic (0-0 today and aggregate) and Arsenal/PSV Endhoven (1-0 Arsenal today and 1-1 aggregate) would go to extra time if these results stood. EDIT: And right after I type this, PSV puts in a goal to essentially secure them a spot in the final 8. They have an away goal now so a 2-1 win by Arsenal (making it 2-2 on aggregate) won't be enough. Arsenal will now have to score 2 in the final 6 minutes to advance.
  22. I'm fine with that. Someone should be planting a new bug in Hendry and Steinbrenner's ear everyday. Man I would love to see this lineup: Soriano Murt ARod Lee ARam Jones Barrett DeRosa Northside Murderer's Row. In the words of Borat, "Very nice".
  23. Story Kobe has been suspended for tonight's game against Milwaukee for striking the Wolves Marko Jaric in the head. The play was virtually identical to the play he was suspended for earlier this year where he struck Manu Ginobili. I don't agree with the suspension, and didn't agree with the first one, but I realize that the NBA did it because they suspended him the first time. It's still crap though.
