If your bored they are playing an Illinois VS Wiscosin game from 2003. James Augustine and Brian Cook are playing. Along with Deron Williams and Alando Tucker. I always think its interesting watching guys like that back in college. Cook was gettin 20/8 per haha..

didn't they go undefeated that season?

Go Badgers!

The real question is...who pronounces "Illinois" with an "es" sound at the end? And, who treats it as a silent?

I am one of the latter that does not pronounce the "s" part of "Illinois."

This is kind of weird.

Just yesterday while riding in the car, I was thinking to myself: "Why are Kansas and Arkansas pronounced so differently?"

There are a lot of words like that (that look similar, or to someone new to the language would expect to sound similar but don't), but this one just happened to be floating around my mind yesterday.

I've never really hard anyone pronounce this state differently than I do, unless it was accent related of course.

Lets see....Kansuh....or.. Arkansaws.

I'm sure Les Miles knows the answer. lOl.

Or Ar-Kansas (Are + Kansas).

Sounds weird, but I think it's only because we've never said it that way.

People actually say that?

Les Miles said that before the LSU Arkansas game.

I don't know if he was tongue in cheek, or just being Les. I imagine it's the latter.

Geaux Tigers.

I didn't know what you meant in that previous posts, as I didn't know he did that.

It wasnt supposed to be.



Man brian Cook back in NCAA ball looked like a real stud haha. Along with so many other guys. It was weird seeing so much talent out there. Deron / Dee Brown / Auggie / Cook / Luther Head / Devin Harris / Alando Tucker.. All them have had some NBA time.
