10 blocks...quite a feat.

Not when your 7'3"!

Sweetness, Illinois sucks. :)

Yep terrible, 17-4 on the season in a year where it was supposed to be a "struggle to get into the NCAA Tournament."

The talent does come till next year and I for sure am happy as hell at our season so far, as long as we play better than we did against Minnesota.

Oh and GOOOOO KENTUCKY!

:D

Just messin' with ya CJ.

woo!!! RU with a big east win!!! YAY!

Against winless-in-conference DePaul...;)

Hey at least Mike Rosario is legit and then some for you guys...you pull in some NJ recruits on a more consistent basis and you can turn it around. Same goes for Seton Hall, unfortunately other relatively local teams (and Texas with the two guys from St. Benedict's) take them away...

not his fault, other players need to grow.

Cal is going down tonight.

That's what I'm talking about!

So I definitely had an interesting day.

I got up at 5:30 to go to Thompson-Boiling for Gameday. I waited 2 hours in the cold before they finally let us in. Thank god they provided some chicken biscuits to everyone once we got there. Gameday was awesome as I got some serious face time. Once we finished Gameday at 12, we had about a 1.5 hour break until we had to be back at 2 to get our position back in line.

They handed out wristbands to everyone that got up early to go to Gameday so they would be the first ones into the game. But you had to be there at 2. The gates didn't open til 7:30. So I waited and waited and waited. But I did have the essentials : deck of cards, donuts, energy drinks, and my iPod.

One memorable moment was when we were all crowded around a TV watching the closing moments of the USC/Kentucky game when Bruce Pearl came out and passed out 45 pizzas to everyone. He gave a nice little spiel about how he knows we are tired of losing and how he was "ready to kick some Gator ass!" Classy Bruce, haha.

So 7:30 finally rolls around, and we are practically rioting. Chanting, banging on the doors, just going nuts. They eventually open the doors and there was no chance in hell we were going to wait to get patted down by the officers. We bullrushed them, and finally we were in. Me and my roommate sprinted to our seats and while we didn't get 1st row, we were sitting pretty in the 2nd row of the student section. Crazy good view.

I think most of you know how the game went so no need in explaining that.

Go Vols!!!!!

AND OH YEAH THE MOST IMPORTANT PART!!!!!!!!!!

PSU's Battle is on fire right now, just launching up off balance 3s @ MSU.

Oh, and Iowa is going to clobber Illinois. And by clobber, I mean hopefully keep it close.

[sweetness34]

Penn State and Northwestern's emergence this year is making the Big 10 a very, very strong conference. Outside of Indiana and Iowa (sorry treat), the Big 10 as a whole has definitely improved over last year.

We don't have the top heavy teams the ACC/Big East do but we do have depth.
