When he plays video games does he take 20 minutes off for energy drrinks and than return to the video gamee forr 20 miinutes of intense playing.

Kids these days. All I needed was a a pot of Folgers and half a pack of Marlboros when I played Circus Atari.

Space Invaders was one of my early addictions in video games world
Then Castlevania got me till finally Doom took over

Success is in the system.

I mean I agree agree to a extent but have the #1 recruiting class year in and out just my 2 cents.but not everytime can get or have the preferred player for every situation so in my opinion a great coach would open his play book to make all the players he has on the court as successful as possible

 

[WWWWRocU]

Yup. Ty has been playing a lot of point when he’s in the game

And the more I see of this the more I like.
Also can't wait to see Ty play D against the dickenmeister. That will be fun.

Taking Illini - 3.5. Feel like we are the mental under dogs here.. that should be good for us.

I think our players need to start wearing the head gear that boxers wear. Maybe we can cut down on some of these concussions they seem to be getting the past few years.

Ah, so just another day in the life and times of Matt Mayer... I'll give it a listen. This guy... He's like the Michael Bay of day to day events. "So Matt, I see you didn't turn in your homework assignment. What happened?" "It starts with my dog, a molotov cocktail, the ghost of Buddy Holly, and me on a manic ramen overdose. I'll let you take it from there."

 

[Scoregasm]

Anyone able to record the game on Hulu? ESPN shows nothing on air between 6-8 tonight.

This has just been a weird season, which gets weirder by the week. And yet, second place in the BT was ours for the taking last Sunday afternoon.

I’m assuming Harris will start, and think they should press to start the game. Play to his strengths and press, and stick to it. Dickinson runs the floor like he doesn’t want his keys to pop out of his pocket. Let’s test his fitness.

Thank you for this I will be adding this to my coach sayings.

 

[IllinoisssssssVarsity]

I would like this about 50 times if I could.
Dude is Austin Weird personified.

Dude is from Westlake which is about as far from austin weird as you can get still being in Austin.

I talked to one of his school coaches about him a couple weeks ago. He told me MM doesnt understand life or money because he’s so rich to begin with and he’s a swipe kid (just swipes the card and it’s always gonna clear).

“So I was coming down off the ramen and the Ghost Of Buddy Holly went back to Lubbock…I think? Next thing I know…I’m walking to basketball practice but I stop for pixie sticks and sushi. There’s this first year Engineering student and he needs an emergency tracheostomy…but all I had was this bic pen…”

(He’s basically college basketball Mathew McConnaughey. Lol)

Boy, that explains a helluva a lot.

He will challenge anyone to a stare down

Even Fran McCaffrey?

I was a Pitall Harry and Super Breakout man. (Well, and Pac-Man of course.h)

 

[WyattEarp]

Our depth will be challenged, especially at guard. Harris getting into early foul trouble is something we really can't afford.

As long as he long as he doesn’t pick up 2-3 cheap/dumb ones we might be alright. But, you’re obviously right.

Holy cow thanks for this trip down memory lane. Spent sooooo many hours playing on the Atari 2600.

Did I hear yesterday that Matthew Mayer had an appointment at Great Clips on Feb 26th to unveil the mullet?

set mine last night.......it's weird on hulu + live and espn to set the recording......

I went to top row of options
click sports
go down and click on college BB
go to upcoming games
you can click on the first game , then move your cursor down to more games from this league
it then shows all the games for the next 3-4 days.....I usually do a 3-4 day record session as now hulu has no limit on # of games to record
now , espn usually doesn't show up until day before or day of game but there will be enough time b4 the game to set record

the add to my stuff option works but I don't want to take any chances so I do both

hope this helps and if you have any questions just pm me

good luck.....
I just checked and it's there now to set to record.......BTW , the 3 white dots going up or down is where you can check to make sure it's set....click on those dots and record is at the top and if it's red then you are good to go.....

Melendez and Rogers will be huge tonight leading us to the W

 

[RockfordIllini]

Melendez and Rogers will be huge tonight leading us to the W

Yup. I’m calling it. This will be the RJ game. 13 points. 3-5 3 pt. 6 rebounds. A couple of blocks.

He’s been playing really well but also within himself the last 3 games. Think he’s due for a breakout.

 

[Illinifan74]

I used to play this game for hours (yea I'm old lol), but my caffeine beverage of choice was Mtn Dew / Jolt.

 

[Knee brace]

Anyone remember Surge?
