Seriously, while watching the UIC/UWM game, I realized just how much Banks and Williams mean to this team. Regardless of the mistakes they made, they almost single-handedly brought UIC back with great offense (Banks) and great defense (Williams). They both provide energy and I thought Banks played better at the point than Rocky today....
With these guys gone next year, it's very possible that we become a below average HL team. I mean, if Collins can't do too much with the the couple of great players we have right now, how will he do with a bunch of young, inexperienced guys? We'll have nobody to take over a game like Banks...we'll have no defensive stopper in Armond....what will we have....where will the energy come from....an inconsistent Poole and Stefanov? I'm really hoping Jeffers turns out better than I think he will....we're gonna need him to step up big time.
What do you guys think? Sure we can all say that we have some decent guys coming in, but we're a third place team with Banks and Williams...where will we be without them?

Actually I think you are tied for third or even fourth place now. Not sure, either way UIC will sink down to Loyola's level next year while they take over what UIC has done. UIC is in BIG BIG trouble next year. UWM will once again dominate as they return 4 of their 5 starters and many from the bench....Hahhaha any questions who the better program is?? Hahhahhahhahah LOSERS

I don't pretend to be an expert, but my guess is next year IS a rebuilding year. And a sub- .500 season appears likely.
I'm wondering how many more games like today's before Collins throws in the towel and starts playing next year's starting lineup. This team is obviusly going nowhere, and the man's patience must be wearing thin.
At any rate, BASEBALL season is right around the corner. And we're SUPPOSED to take the Horizon league in that!

Just keep in mind Jimmy only needs another ten losses to become the loosingest coach in UIC history. I don't think he can make it this year. Any interest in starting a pool on how many games into the season he'll reach it?TEXT[/color

"UIC is always SUPPOSED to win the league, but UWM will prolly find a way to beat them AGAIN...UWM dominates UIC in basketalll just face it we are better"
Hey dipstick - can you read? I said BASEBALL.
Repeat. B-A-S-E-B-A-L-L.
Who's won the Horizon for three consecutive years and picked to make it four in a row? UIC. Repeat. U-I-C. NOT U-W-M.
So enjoy your soccer and basketball championships - but WE are taking the Horizon in baseball.
At any rate, on Friday, April 15 and Saturday, April 16 (doubleheader), and Sunday, April 17, it'll all be settled on the playing field (UIC's), and you'll be getting your sorry butts kicked again. With a little luck you'll go home four games behind the Flames.
Now take your kitty litter elsewhere. You're smelling up the place.

STOP ACTING LIKE A MORON. You're not making your "wonderful" institution proud. From now on, every post you make that is stupid, I'm just going to modify to say "I'm a dumb f@#!."

I really dont think we should start modifying and ending threads. Hmm, and I think we should. Amen..Finally someone wiht sense... But if Jason suffers from little man syndrome let him be...Whatever helps him sleep at night Great point. I don't want to lock anything as I said. I want to have a fun message board with great posts, interesting discussion and other people's viewpoints. I don't, however, want to be a part of pure stupidity. HLer...you've been bringing the pure stupidity lately. Maybe I shouldn't say things like this or lock a thread, since my goal is just to make this the best place for UIC fans to talk about basketball. I think that includes keeping the pure stupidity to a minimum. Feel free to private message me if you have thoughts that differ.

Ok, well UICjason, it's not your choice to decide what's OK and what's not. That's the reason I enjoyed this forum and it's admins, is because we just talk, you dont need a name/password,you dont get censored, and you dont get told what to do.... im tired of people like you, all over the internet now, controlling what's been said or what should be said... it's not like someone is doing something illegal on here, which in that case, yes, it should be taken down or deleted.... if you're interested in a career with the FCC, then practice on your own terms, not on this open forum....

I'm not going to talk about this anymore. That's all. And that's fine. The only reason I brought this up, is because I noticed something had been editted and then you began talking about changing people's posts. I do not think that should be something that happens. I'd at least want to know where you stand on that.

Let me just chime in here real quick and then I'd like to get this thread back on the original topic, if possible.
In addition to myself, I believe the moderators (both JasonT and UICJason) are doing a fine job. Everything has been kept cool around here. There has been minimal editing and deleting, however it will happen (seriously, have there been more than a handful of edits anyway?)....so let's not complain about it....it's just making the board less enjoyful for others.
I have edited posts and I will continue to edit posts if necessary. There are some words which will not be tolerated on here (the more hardcore cuss words). I have gradually added them back into the censor list....and I will probably add more as I come across them. Just an FYI, an unspecified amount of cussing is against proboards rules...not my rules....proboards rules. This entire board could be deleted if they came across lots of cussing. Board deletions happen everyday (and people subsequently complain about their boards being deleted). So, clearly we do not want this. If I see a word which, to me, crosses the line, I'm going to edit it out....and there should be no questions asked. Just try to avoid using the bad, bad words...is it really necessary anyway?
Second, I had to delete a post yesterday because it was dedicated solely to complain about the moderators. We will not have that here. This is a UIC board to talk about UIC basketball....not a place to start threads which cause trouble and are not related to UIC basketball. That's what the private message system is for. Take care of this stuff behind the scenes but don't post it.....
So in summary, we'd love to let this board be as liberal as possible. However, proboards, as a hosting service, has rules which we should try to respect and abide by....and I have no problem with that...they're providing us a with a free and functional place to talk hoops. So, don't be surprised if you see an occasional edit because it will likely happen....
thank you....

Lol, give me a break. **** THIS. Go ahead and edit that too, Hitler. In fact, why don't you just type my POSTS for me, since you guys want to control everything.
