QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Nov 24, 2012 -> 07:43 PM) What does his recruiting class look like? If it is bad, they are probably going to fire him in a year or two anyway, so cutting their losses makes sense. But if they do that, shouldn't the AD go with him? Common sense would seem to indicate you wouldn't want the guy responsible for this hire be responsible for the next. As long as the Groce hire works out I'd imagine the AD would be safe for the time being. The Beckman hire was brutal though and it was easy to see that as soon as the ASU game even if a couple here were still delusional.

This years Illinois team definitely has the potential to be better than next seasons, I'm glad they look good early help groce out in the recruiting!

Well now we know how Illinois responds after a nail biter come from behind win, be interesting to see how they come out tomorrow after a potential blowout win. This is a big year for Groce, I think this team will be more talented than next years.

I am not goin to miss Tyler Griffey at all, but I'm very happy dont have to watch weber's boring ass offense anymore. Is USC really this bad?

QUOTE (He_Gawn @ Nov 19, 2012 -> 07:18 PM) Please, if one bad call goes against your team, the refs are working for Vegas against you. You have that reputation from every schools fanbase in the bigten. Maryland basketball fans will catch on quick after your fans flood their board after the first bad call. You realize all fans that like the illini on this board are also wsox fans, and a good portion of illini fan base is from Chicago area so you are generalizing fans of the same teams you follow making you just the same.

QUOTE (He_Gawn @ Nov 19, 2012 -> 06:46 PM) Agreed. Even, watch the replay.. But it goes back too... Illini fan, need I say more? Yet you post an equally stupid comment

I need one Robbie Gould field goal of any distance to win this week, I'm not sure if it will happen

QUOTE (chw42 @ Nov 18, 2012 -> 03:36 PM) Pretty sure you're not supposed to tackle people by their hair... You'd be pretty wrong in that case, but yeah the one poster is an obvious cowboys homer.

Well f***, Illinois missed out on all the exciting recruits this year, hopefully after being around for a season we are on the otherside of these.

QUOTE (IlliniKrush @ Nov 16, 2012 -> 11:22 PM) Time for some late night Illinois/Hawaii streaming action The pregame stream isnt working well for me, hopefully better during game.

Most robbers are smart enough to pick houses with nobody in them, this guy is going to get shot or arrested very soon.

I actually got in for a little bit right before kickoff, it took 3-4 tries and still loaded very slowly... but I lost it like 2-3 mins later.

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Nov 12, 2012 -> 07:35 PM) Well you dont seem to understand why it would be more troubling for people to actually have made changes, then if no one could, so Im not going to bother explaining. How would I know? They are my friends that Ive known for years. So when 1 goes, "I was able to make changes" I dont think they are lying. Im not implying what you said, Im saying that its unfair he got to change his rosters, when the person he was playing against (not me) did not. If both had not been able to change, that would actually be more fair. Yeah its really idiotic, just like the Bears would be idiotic for wanting the NFL to make a ruling, instead of it being the Packers. Generally when you have a "commissioner" who is making rulings, they are impartial and they are not actually involved in the competition. Since you dont seem to understand "conflict of interest" it really makes no sense to keep talking. I try and stick with leagues where I trust the commissioner to do the right thing, even if it affects them negatively. Hell, I even point out to people to make changes to their roster when they are facing me if they have an injured person playing or bye week and didn't notice. If I was in a paid league with strangers my thought process on the matter might be different, but otherwise I trust the person in charge of my league to run it fairly.

QUOTE (IlliniKrush @ Nov 12, 2012 -> 05:08 PM) Love the hair. And a tall guy with athleticism. Need a good 14 class. Good foundation so far in 13 to start to make some changes. Funny, I thought we had a much better chance with past 2 guys we eventually fell short on, but yeah a good get for Illini. I really hope Groce can still land KBD.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Nov 12, 2012 -> 04:17 PM) Nothing about that quote came off as being a jerk. Urlacher comes off as one of the nicer guys in the NFL, he just doesn't do media for various reasons. Nothing wrong with that quote but a lot of times when urlacher talks he comes off as a dueshbag and I've heard numerous fans/stories about he has a im better and more important than you attitude so don agree with the 2nd part.

QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ Nov 12, 2012 -> 11:46 AM) That's a bunch of BS. ND's defense would keep them in the game against anybody. Sorry, a team that struggles with Michigan, Purdue, BYU, and Pittsburgh doesn't get to use the argument they would stay in the game vs anyone. I honestly hope they get into the national championship game just so Oregon can stomp them.

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Nov 12, 2012 -> 11:34 AM) Anyone who makes this comment must not be in a very competitive league because teams dont even release who is officially active or inactive until after that time. Yeah, but when a player is a game time decision I usually have my alternative in ahead of time in case I can't check Sunday before the games for whatever reason. If they are declared active I'll insert them.

It would be frustrating for a team if they would have won but now lost, but I guess I'd be ok if they let a team change in a player who didn't play for one who did assuming there is one available on the bench.

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Nov 12, 2012 -> 10:36 AM) I get that most people are going to argue what benefits them. Its not just about your team, the question is did anyone in your league get screwed. Because 1 game having a different outcome could change the entire league. Whatever happens Im sure yahoo will just say its free, you pay for what you get. If you have a 12 team league and we say 1 game were legit affected by the outage you are affecting 5 other games that were fine. In majority of leagues you'd be be screwing over a lot more teams.....

Right, my wins in both leagues were both legit... Everyone had their normal players in and especially in 1 league the win could be difference between me making playoffs or not. You are probably screwing over more people by DQing the results of the week.

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Nov 12, 2012 -> 10:13 AM) I sent an email to yahoo saying they need to dq all week 10 results because of their bulls***. Kind of bogus people are winning/losing due to a website malfunction. It's football, you had an entire week to check lineups, unless you were waiting on a player that was a game time decision I don't feel particularly bad for anyone.

QUOTE (Reddy @ Nov 8, 2012 -> 01:00 PM) whaaaat the later episodes are amazing. it jumps so many sharks and i love it. lol I thought Eric/Corey both came over the top ridiculous during the later shows but I guess I was growing up too and maybe my taste in shows changed

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Nov 8, 2012 -> 09:56 AM) Your spelling of Topanga actually offended me. I'm pretty pumped for this too, hopefully it wont be too terrible. Shawn definitely needs to be in it, Eric too as he was definitely one of the highlights of the show in its last few seasons. Should be interesting... Being the highlight of the show when it took a turn for the worse isn't a good thing imo, don't really see how his character would fit and be useful anymore.

QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ Nov 8, 2012 -> 12:15 AM) You miss the show and you thought her name was "Dapanga"??? lol. It's Topanga, and the show will be called Girl Meets World. And I am pumped. I grew up with BMW and loved it. I wonder if Shaun Hunter will be back, or Eric, or Mr. Feeny, or Chet Hunter's ghost! And damnit, I want me some Minkus! Lol, for some reason I always said it with a D. It would be cool if they got Shaun back not really interested in Eric's character coming back but Mr. Feeny would be ok.

Apparently a Boy Meets World is in the works that would make Corey and Dapanga(sp?) the parents and Ben Savage and whoever played the actress are both willing to reprise their roles. I guess Corey will be a teacher and his daughter will be in his class. It probably will be horrible but I do miss that show.
