Illinois is playing at Nebraska right now. It was 24-16 Illini at one point. It is now 52-29 Nebraska, meaning there has been a 36-5 run for Nebraska over about the last 15 minutes of play.

Yikes.

Nor does it change the fact that Politico—as a haven for bottom-feeding, know-nothing retards ready to roll out their Jump To Conclusions Mats at the merest hint of an inconsequential "controversy"...

And the other media members AREN'T bottom-feeding, know-nothing retards??? The Jump To Conclusions mat also comes out whenever Fox News, CNN or MSNBC have to come up with, oh, 23 hours and 55 minutes of their daily programming schedules on a slow news day (I exempt 5 minutes of slow days only because Fox News has a couple hot blonde women as anchors).

I really, really, really, really hate what Bruce Weber has done to Illinois Basketball.

So you're the one that should be saying that you've seen it too many times?!?!?!?!?

Soler reportedly has "5 tools". No way would Hendry let the Yankees not get involved.

Does he play second base?

Can he grow a five o'clock shadow between pitches?

Can he get on his toes to punch a 5-foot-5 guy in the face?

That's just really not fair.

Round, Player...

My eyes almost melted after looking at the awful draft I had last year.

QuoteIn addition to Pioli and Dimitroff, Emery has learned...

Can't go wrong there.

So he knows how to plant listening devices in team headquarters and trade away 5 draft picks for Julio Jones?

IT'S WINNING TIME BABY!!!

The best 74 seconds I can find on YouTube...

Newt Gingrich vs. Juan Williams from last night's debate... Love the look on the Mittster's face at 2:04-2:09, I believe it is the look of someone realizing that he wouldn't have won a true head-to-head matchup against Gingrich...

This is a first:

Thank you Giants.

Quote from: PANK! on January 13, 2012, 12:47:36 AMOne season-destroying, improbable, opposite field homerun against a habitual pants-shitting late-inning psychopath does not a Cub Killer make, in my opinion.

And why don't I readily recall Craig Brazell?

Almost every Cubs relief pitcher has been a habitual pants-shitting late-inning psychopath, right??? I mean, the only difference is how brown the back of the pants are at the end of the inning.

Brazell was the guy that won that Saturday game with a homer in the 11th off Mercker, and that was his ONLY career homer. After 2004, his only major league time was a five-game stretch with the Royals in 2007.

Victor Diaz and Craig Brazell. I am still convinced the 2004 Cubs would have won the Wild Card if they had not lost that fucking Saturday game at Shea Stadium. Austin Kearns and Javier Valentin didn't help matters in the Reds series, but the Cubs weren't ahead in the standings when those games were played.

Fuck Dallas.

Cousin Sal on the Bill Simmons podcast today broke out the "I've seen it too many times" BC-ism in reference to the Cowboys. If only someone nationally could say something about a Caddy in Wisconsin or hilarity ensuing!!!

Self-important BC is my favorite BC.

Thanks?

43 points for Paul tonight, helping Illinois to an actual competent offensive ballgame.

BTW, good to see the program honor Lou Henson tonight.
