JIMMY GREENFIELD
Leo owes me $5 whenever Phil showers. So far he owes me $2.50.
No way. Do the unexpected and make the leap to becoming an
accountant.
It’s the greatest thing since sliced bread. (Important note: I hate sliced bread.)
Any kind of seed.
A TV with a brick through it.
PHIL THOMPSON
Yes, I pay Leo to be funny. At $1
a day, I get what I pay for.
I was skeptical at first, but he
looks ready. Deron Williams has regressed to CBA level.
What they need is a Big Ten tourniquet to stop the bleeding in the NCAA Tournament.
For outside teams looking in, I suggest chips on their shoulders. Northwestern will bring the dips.
The atomic remains of the
Bartman ball. It will never die, people. Embrace it.
LEO EBERSOLE
I pay Bag Boy $100 for every slam on Phil. Earn that money, hater.
In a word: Duh.
Definitely for it. And one day–one glorious day–Northwestern will win it.
Jawbreakers for Illini fans when Pittsburgh and Arizona slide into their bracket.
The Chip Caray Call of the Day exhibit.
MIKE NORTH
Who said we were close-knit?
I tell him, “Stay, and next year you’re a top 10 pick like Kirk
Hinrich.”
Any time you can eat breakfast, then watch NU vs. Michigan, that’s special. I’m for it.
Jayhawk Stew with some Tar Heel Potatoes.
Sammy’s smashed-up boombox.
BAG BOY
First guy to wear a bag on his head gets $50 from the other four. Hey look at that!
No. Stay. Has Frank Williams taught us nothing? Illinois needs you, and I mean the entire state.
Just one more chance for 10 teams to come away losers. Of course I’m for it.
I usually just gnaw on my bracket.
World Series trophy, NBA title trophy, Lombardi trophy, and the Stanley Cup. Do it.
