Sportscenter just announced that the Brewers were going to be announcing an extension with Gallardo -
No Shannon has not been back, but in the season premiere Boone said she stayed in Sydney. She was supposed to be in the premier but scheduling conflicts got in the way.I remember hearing that she was going to be in it a while back but I guess i just thought they put that out there to confuse people

I am excited for next weeks episode. It is a Hurley episode and I really like what they are doing with his character. The flash-sideways are now starting to become really intriguing as opposed to early on this season when they were fun to see interconnectedness. I have been very happy with the last season so far.

I love how I could instantly tell you were talking about Samardzija (whose name I had to look up to get the spelling, if it's of any comfort). http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif Yeah I did not want to look it up. Too much work.

At least the Cubs are getting crushed. Big Z gives up 8 runs in 1.1 innings and Jeff Smara gives up 6, 4 earned in 0.1 inning. They have a 54 and 108 ERA respectively.

I'd watch! I think the stories are intriguing! There really haven't been a whole lot of big time blowouts this year in the tourney.Are you already a college bball fan though? Ratings show time and time again that people do not watch the underdogs even though they like the story. The year George Mason made the final 4 the ratings were terrible for their game. I will watch the games, but I just do not know what team is a draw for casual sports fan? Maybe Butler.
-
As college basketball fans it has been a good tourney but CBS has to be freaking out about a Baylor win. Butler vs Michigan St, and WV vs Baylor would not be that great for the ratings. I do not see many casual fans watching those matchups.

This was one of my favorite episodes of Lost. We learned a ton about Richard, and a good amount about Jacob and bad Locke. But the episode did not just answer questions, it also was very well acted and the story moved well. The Sawyer episode from two weeks ago was weak (I am bored with Sawyer - seriously buddy everyone has had bad things happen on the island) but this episode has me really, really excited for rest of the season.
-
I agree completely. What's most embarrassing about it, to me, is that it really isn't difficult to defend. Most h.s. coaches should be able to instruct how it's done properly. It happened to us all year year. Illinois used it a ton against us. I am not sure if it is players being coached poorly or players playing it poorly. Whatever the case it needs to be fixed.
-
I think Rob Wilson and Jordan Taylor at guard could be a really benefit to this team. They both will be able to be the type of guards the swing offense is dependent on, in that they can post up. Heck, Wilson was our second best post-player this year. Both can shoot the three effectively enough, but people are right, behind them we lack depth. Leuer is a stud and I think he has another level to his game. Keaton NEEDS some post moves but who knows if they are there. Evans shows flashes of being a guy who can be a solid (not featured) player. Most likely to step up next year are Bergerren, Evans or Wilson. Also do not forget the incoming freshman class has some interesting sleepers in Gasser and Dukan. Both guys can shoot the rock, just not sure how they will be at defending. The defense was the big issue in the cornell game. The offense played well enough to win. We need to figure out how to defend the screen and role. It was embarrassing.

Here's to the Brewers continuing Wisconsin's post-season run for sports. The Packers made the playoffs, barring a monumental collapse the Bucks will, The Badgers men and women made the tourney, the Marquette men made, and the UW-GB women made it. Now if only a team can have a little more success but it really has been a good start to the sports year for Wisconsin.
-
I actually do not think this bracket is great as people seem to think it is. They may be teams with great name recognition, but who has Maryland beat this year outside of Duke? MSU had a bad overall resume. They got lucky playing a Hummel-less Purdue team and OSU once. Tennessee has two really quality wins and not much after that. Georgetown has double-digit losses and is about as streaky as they come. It is a disappointment OSU is in that bracket but I do not think 4-6 is all that good.
-
I would have to think the frantic finish and having a chance to tie will help. If they got blown out I could see it hurting them more. I think they are firmly a 4/5 seed now after being a 3 seed this morning in Lunardi's bracket. It is not like they lost to Iowa or Indiana here, they lost to a Illinois team playing for their tournament lives. The committee has said they now longer value any part of the season more than another so one game should not make a huge difference. It was painful to watch but the comeback made it more worthwhile for sure. This team has heart, they just could not make a layup or free-throws today that did them in. Left way too many points on the line and at the rim.
-
I think Marquette is a lock for an 8 or 9 seed unless they win the Big East Tourney. They were a 10 seed today in the espn and cnnsi brackets and a 9 in the foxsports. A win against an NIT bound St. Johns team will not bump them up much. They will be a solid 8/9 if they win one or two.

Milwaukee Bucks Thread 2009–2010 (part 1)
jjfanec replied to milwaukeesportsfan's topic in Off-Topic Forum
I loved that line on Sportscenter this morning. I am not sure if has been used a lot, I live in Iowa and do not get to see Bucks highlight much at all. -
I really liked last nights episode as well. Ben (Michael Emerson) is a great actor. Jack seems to be getting his mojo back. I like that Hurley seems to be a major player this season.
-
Add in that the Badgers where without Jon Leuer for 9 games and the committee is supposed to take that into effect as well. The Badgers have a better resume than a handful of the teams in front of them - I am calling you out Michigan State, but the Badgers typically get seeded lower than they should wo I am used to it.
-
I'm sorry, but this is absolutely terrible advice. They'd be better off just asking all the guests to email them all the snapshots they took with their point-and-shoots, because it'll be on par with the quality that they'll get from someone who doesn't know what they're doing. Granted, if the couple couldn't give two craps about photos of them and their wedding, then skimp away; but otherwise, photography is one of the last places that one should look to save money with a wedding. A DSLR doesn't make someone a good photographer, and taking pictures of a wedding doesn't make someone a wedding photographer. Wedding photography is not for the faint-of-heart or the inexperienced, and that's why professionals cost [and are worth] a lot of money. I have had 5 or more friends (and my wife and I) use a friend to take pictures and I would match our pictures up against one's done by a professional. You want to test them out and see how they do, we had a friend do engagement pictures first. maybe you have seen it go poorly but everyone of our friends who did it has been really happy. So no it is not terrible advice, but you have to have a friend who has a good eye for photography.

I wonder if JJ Abrams learned his lesson from Alias. That show started out very strong but then just seemed to drag on and get weirder as time went on. I know Abrams shifted his focus to lost at about season four of Alias but they just did not seem to know exactly where they were going.
-
You are right. I was just looking at currently ranked teams. The only problem for the Badgers when it comes to seeding is that only one of the big wins came away from the Kohl Center. To be fair they had 4 other shots at big wins Michigan State, Purdue, Ohio State and Gonzaga and for two of those Leuer was not playing (OSU and Pur). But that will hurt their chances some at getting up to a three seed, although a nice run in the BTT will give them a couple more neutral site wins which would be nice.
-
If the Badgers can win at Illinois and make the BTT finals it will be interesting to see if the committee factors in the 3 losses the Badgers had without Leuer and the one the had when he was just coming back. They are definitely going factor in Turner's loss for Ohio State. I know Leuer is not Turner but Leuer makes the Badgers a lot better. The Badgers have a really solid resume. Wins against Duke, Purdue, Michigan State, Ohio State (albeit without Turner) and Maryland. Those are some really quality wins.
-
I'm pretty sure that is the part where John Locke shows Walt how to play backgammon in the pilot. He talks to him about how "one side is dark, one side is light". That could be it but they did say a few years ago that no one had discussed this clue yet. Maybe that was before the dark and light stuff became much more apparent with Jacob and the other dude.
-
He was incredible tonight... but Iowa was dreadful. 18 points on 8/9 shooting. Gotta love that. This game & performance by Leuer really makes you feel like the team is getting the gears oiled up very well at the right time. I will wait to see if the Badgers can beat Illinois the next couple games before I feel like they are back fully. The Purdue game where Leuer got hurt was where the team seemed to peak. However, they could be even better now because JBo, Keaton, Taylor and Wilson all made big strides while Leuer was out. I am hoping for a nice BTT run to jump them to a three seed.
-
I think that's true. He (Fox) actually auditioned for the role of Sawyer, and "Jack" was basically created for him. Which is amazing considering how very prominent he's been in the series. They had a beginning and an end in mind for the series, but pretty sure they didn't have the whole thing planned out.Michael Keaton was supposed to play the role of Jack and die in the pilot. The main character was supposed to be a Rose/Kate hybrid. Sawyer's character was supposed to be a 40 year con man who was more like a businessman than white trash. Hurley's part was not in there original. From what I read they had an over-arching plot and where they wanted it to end. They actually said there is a big clue for the whole theme in the pilot.
