Magnetic Curses

yeah, the locker move is a noggin scratcher, especially after the bradford situation.

If they don't fire Ron Turner after this debacle of a season I may just turn in my bears zubaz and find a new team. turner doesn't need to be fired because his contract is up, it just won't be renewed and i think it's pretty much a slam-dunk that it won't be. weis would be an excellent choice.

i think he's an instant major upgrade to either of the guys we have right now, plus he's a better center than kreutz.

No one likes Richie Incognito. He was an [expletive] at Nebraska who was in trouble like 17 times. He's been an [expletive] every day he's been in the NFL. which means he's pretty much the same person as olin kreutz, if olin kreutz could block someone. no one needs to like him.

the st. louis rams have released richie incognito, a guy i have liked for a while. he'd be a cheap option at guard, and what about mankins? could we possibly snag him?

and if we had won in 05 i could have forgiven the collins/wright fiasco.

haha. guilty as charged. superficially, i'm over the self ordeal, but deep down i'm still scarred pretty badly by the legacy he left.

one and done mercenaries don't look twice at schools like illinois and i have no problem with that. it's all handlers and payoffs and circus tricks and dads with oddly-timed administrative jobs with the university. would it be nice to land a guy like wall or henry or rose or cousins or barnes or evans or bradley? absolutely. can a team like illinois compete for a national title with 3 and 4 year players? of course. although i will concede that it's real hard to beat these rim-rocking half-men, half-beast-children that race to the hoop every single time down the court with shooters from peoria. it's both frustrating and strangely satisfying to see self attempt to get in on a kid from springfield, il early. on one hand, i hate to see him anywhere in the state of illinois, he's a douchebag and he's dangerous, but on the other hand, maybe he's not confident in his abilities to waltz into a kid's house at the last minute without even recruiting him and secure a commitment anymore? maybe he's worried about the state that paid him to build recruiting inroads for another state school finally shutting him out? i don't know. but maybe he should stick to recruiting super-stud, rocket-car driving, precious juice-hoarding, mad max-hunting, great humongouses like xavier henry, as his brethren do. he'll probably wind up with just as many national championships while the little guys at illinois count our every final four as a precious, magical experience and every little shooter from lincoln township, rochelle, and metamora as a hero. maybe weber can get to these super-studs early, before they become master-blasters and kamalas needing handlers and agents and PR guys and money-lenders. it's kind of funny to see self turn to this method, though. maybe he can invite the kid's junior high team to midnight madness next year.

ku has requested the summer schedule of larry austin, a springfield, il 8th grader that weber has been dropping in on. i didn't realize ku needed to recruit that way. i guess self doesn't want to lose any more elite talent out of illinois. well, maybe it will hamstring his efforts to land hired guns like henry in the future. i was thinking that weber's strategy was a sound one, getting in on players from illinois that the national recruiters could never detect until it was too late, apparently self is red-assed now and wants to re-establish his inroads. he'll never be able to spend enough time in illinois, though, so it will be a losing effort.

wow. well, i don't doubt that the cards will find money to be good despite this move.

looks like the ricketts family has closed the shop. hope you all get what you wanted with a family-owned team. we aren't going to be the red sox or yankees. perhaps we'll be the astros if we're lucky.

sentence fragment

i wish i was a journalist.

My roommate from last year is a WVU fan and the smack talking started in May before I left Indiana. If Purdue doesn't win I won't here the end of it for weeks. let alone hear the end of it.

yeah, but boston is the one place in all of baseball with a more racist fanbase than the cubs.

i'm not sure but it's hard to imagine some of petrino's offensive acumen not rubbing off. anything will be better than schultz. they must be giving him a huge raise.

Yea looks like a good hire, but until we get somebody with half a damn clue to fix the D, its not going to matter. well, disch and mallory have been demoted and i'm sure that petrino has been brought in to take over should zook fail. i like the hire a lot.

needed a laugher.

and if we allow women's athletics to have an equal say in the distribution of teams throughout two conferences, who would stop a monkey or a dog or some sort of lizard from wanting an equal say in conferential distribution as well? it's a slippery slope, my friend.
