QUOTE(WHarris1 @ Nov 27, 2005 -> 12:59 PM) Oregon is the team that plays in a lousy conference.

I don't understand all this Orton hate. When he drops back do you see him making mistakes? The Bears run a conservative offense, because of this he's not going to put up prolific pass numbers. That said I don't see Orton making poor reads and for the most part when he drops back he makes good throws. The Bears don't call an offense and its a good thing imo (since we have a rookie QB) thats ever going to put up 300 yard passing games (and if we do, its a bad sign right now because it means were playing catch-up). If I saw Orton dropping back and missing wide open guys all game I'd say something different. He made two bad decisions all game (one was an early pass to Gage that Barber damn near picked and the other was on the pump fake to Gage which should never have been thrown that was picked). He's making good decisions with the football and is throwing pretty darn accurate balls for the most part.

I remember when some of you fools were calling for the Bears to lose out and get Matt Leinart.

Awesome win. 8-3 now Thats just a huge win on the road and the defense came through once again. They looked a little tired right near the end, but they got enough of a rest to make the final stops. We did have a little luck in the missed field goal though, but thats about the 1st game this year we've won with a little help. Plus I still say we dominated the whole game.

QUOTE(danman31 @ Nov 27, 2005 -> 10:31 AM) Penn St. blows dude. They'll prove it in their BCS game. I hope its ND they match up against. I don't want an ND OSU game. Although I'll just take ND in any game, but I think they'd beat up on PSU. I think PSU and Oregon are two of the more over-rated teams in the country.

Bucs have some field position here.

Just want to say, Wade did the right job letting that bounce where it did. Damn thing hit around the 7 and somehow died.

f*** were on the 6 or so.

Well we are gonna get the ball back. Hopefully Wade holds onto it. Ogunleye would have had a sack without that holding. Nice pass rush there.

This thread will be moved into the free agent resource thread. Thats what that thread is there for

Alright defense...stay strong

Orton TD Pass to John Gilmore

FUMBLE BEARS BALL. Alex Brown WOOT Tommie Harris recovers!!! LETS SCORE

Baseball in Vegas would be HORRIBLE. HORRIBLE

QUOTE(danman31 @ Nov 27, 2005 -> 12:44 AM) Heads my condolences if you didn't off yourself yet. You said you'd wait for me to get back, well I'm back at 2:45 in the morning but I doubt you waited for me after ISU basketball got killed by a school that resembles Iowa if only by name lol. Hell Dan...after they lost to Iona, I even started to feel for Heads and thats coming from the person that wouldn't have given two cents about the ISU/KU game if it weren't for the fact that Heads has driven me nuts knocking on my teams.

QUOTE(knightni @ Nov 27, 2005 -> 12:43 AM) I'd still take Williams over Benson. An underused WR on Det vs an underused RB on Chi. It's still pretty even. The Bears could really use a second option to Muhammad right now. I still prefer Benson over Williams.

I wonder what type of treatment options there are for something like this and how serious this injury is.

QUOTE(Gene Honda Civic @ Nov 27, 2005 -> 09:41 AM) and, even as an ND hater, I accept that. What I hate is, if the Irish have an agreement with the Big East about bowl games, whereas the Irish can be picked over other Big East schools, why the hell is there going to be a Big East team getting an automatic BCS bid? How many years in a row now are we complaining that the Big East's BCS representitive is by far the weakest, and seems to be there over more deserving clubs? Get them the f*** out of the BCS. 5 conferences, and 3 at large. Totally agree.

QUOTE(Fotop @ Nov 27, 2005 -> 01:07 AM) Just in case anyone is wondering here's ND's 2006 Football Schedule: S 02 @ Georgia Tech S 09 PENN STATE S 16 MICHIGAN S 23 @ Michigan St. S 30 PURDUE O 07 STANFORD O 21 UCLA O 28 @ Navy (Baltimore) N 04 NORTH CAROLINA N 11 @ Air Force N 18 ARMY N 25 @ Southern Cal Outside of the service academies (some of which we have history with...I don't get why we added army), they play a major conference team EVERY week. But I'm sure people will say they play nobody when said major conference teams don't live up to their hype (see: this season). So let the b****ing begin... In the grand scheme of things it's pretty impossible for ND to win in the eyes of its haters...because now that they're winning it's because their schedule is "easy". I guess it just comes with the territory, but it's good to be hated again. Holy cripes...thats a hell of a start to the season. In GT. At least they are home against PSU and Michigan but those 1st 3 games are all against what I would call Top 15-20 teams for sure next year, hell they may all be top 10 type teams. Michigan State gives ND problems and Purdue is usually solid. Than they get to an easier stretch, thats assuming UCLA isn't as good as they are this year (and they will be losing quite a few of there weapons). So if somehow they can roll through that tough start, they got USC (UNC is the only decent team near the end aside from the Trojans). That USC game COULD and I mean COULD be the type of game that decides who goes to the national championship. But thats one hell of a schedule to have to get through.

QUOTE(knightni @ Nov 27, 2005 -> 12:32 AM) Iowa? Come on Jas. Right now they are playing the 3rd best football in the big 10. I happen to think they'd beat PSU on a neutral field. I know they'd get clocked by OSU on a neutral field. They blew the Michigan game, they blew the NU game. They are a better team than the one that was in either of those games.

The way I see it...OSU probably beats them. I don't think much of PSU and I think on a good day Iowa could give them a run for there money but I think in the end ND's secondary is stronger than Iowa's and that Nd's offense is better than Iowa's (I happen to think Iowa has a very strong offense). So basically put, I think OSU clearly could take them, and that the PSU and Iowa games would be games. They are better than the rest of the Big 10 though. Of course people would argue that I'm a homer when it comes to Iowa. I still they right now they are playing very good football and If I were a highly ranked team I wouldn't want to play them. The Hawks are a well coached team who have been in big games before and they aren't afraid of them. Plus they have as much talent and skill as most of the best teams in the country. We know how I feel though, I Think there are more than a few over-rated Top 10-15 teams this year.

QUOTE(SEALgep @ Nov 26, 2005 -> 06:55 PM) That sounds like Mueller. Ya, I have long thought of Mueller has a good 2 hole hitter. I just don't know how that makes sense unless they really dont' think Crede has anything left and that his back injury is really serious. My guess is the Sox will be quiet on the 2 hole front until the Konerko situation is resolved. Kenny is going to get that resolved before doing anything else.

QUOTE(OldSox2 @ Nov 26, 2005 -> 04:03 PM) Sorry. I was talking about the guys we gave up for Everett in the second trade for him. We gave up relief pitcher Majewski (sp) and one other guy. I hated the first trade for Everett, and said so on this board. We gave up way too much. That said, I do know a bit about the Farm System, partly because of this board. Its kind of funny though. Majewski is the best guy Kenny has given up the past couple years (in the sense of what they are doing in the major league level). I'm talking about prospects so I'm not counting C. Lee. Majewski did a good job in his 1st full season out of the Nats pen.

QUOTE(Fotop @ Nov 26, 2005 -> 08:44 PM) All I have to say is.... Thank God we have a scholarship kicker coming in next year. That is all. BCS Bound, Thank you Charlie.

QUOTE(Heads22 @ Nov 26, 2005 -> 08:15 PM) Iona wins 89-72 and Heads goes on anti-depressants. ND has a shot to make you happier cuase I'm gonna be crushed if Stanford gets this.
