John Wilkins has committed to ISU...Illinois St.

Illinois State isn't exactly terrible. They would have beaten both ISU and IU last year.

Back to the topic: it is too bad we lost Wilkins, but at least we'll have some extra scholarships for FH next year.

Not quite. Edmonton. nice city. not as sweet as Vancouver though. I would like to move there one day.

I know, I know...it's more a matter of horribly underachieving, haven't been to the NCAA tourney in 14 years, etc. Their record is typically good, but they also have had a bottom 20 non-con SOS so I lose a lot of respect for them because they won't schedule anybody. They have had a ton of talent the past 2 seasons but never could capitalize.

Just drove through the Yukon and BC last week and am currently in central Canada. The Muncho Lake area was incredible. What's the deal with the English they speak up here, ay. Just got change and recieved some loonies and twonies?

Yeah, i won't lie. the monetary system is stupid as all hell. Imagine when you are a kid and carrying all kinds of loonies and toonies and losing them all over the place.

I said again weird for awhile, and also add eh on some things, but nothing too bad. the real "canadian" drives me insane. makes you sound 10 iq pts dumber.. not unlike a southern accent..

CW doesn't have to imagine. He carries a few thousand loonies every day.

Are you out of your mind? Watch some of these mid-majors and see how hard it is to get teams to play them. Ill State has won 20-25 games three years in a row and they can't get anyone to play them from a major conference. Tim Jankovich has a big future in either the Big 12 or Big Ten in the next couple of years. Illinois State, Northern Iowa, Creighton or Wichita State would wax the floor with us the past two or three years. Go Clones, but get real dude. Check your facts next time "homer."
