QUOTE (Capn12 @ Oct 12, 2013 -> 07:28 PM) Boom, Mizzou!! Us South Carolina fans are bigtime fans of Mizzou's whoopin on UGA. Hope Franklin is ok. Franklin will be out a few weeks, said Pinkel Mauk is gonna be a talent, but not yet. Hilarious how again, the calls are "Mizzou hasn't beat anyone, Georgia was so injured!". I don't recall any sympathy last year when mizzou lost 9 offensive lineman and Franklin. I'm gonna relish this victory, it's hard to beat any team on the road, I don't care if Georgia was injured. They were injured at skill positions, which they have a ton of. They weren't missing Murray. They weren't down lineman. Mizzou lost their best CB and QB in this game, and when only up 2, they...scored 2 touchdowns to ice the game. It was a huge game for the program, but it sucks because had franklin stayed healthy, we are legit SEC contenders. Instead, I mean, we have to see how Mauk does. We have a great rushing attack but without that fantastic game management of him we are screwed. THAT SAID, our defense continues to get better. Our defensive line has 2-3 NFL players on there now. Michael Sam, Kony Ealy and Markus Golden are a revelation. I don't think we can take SC and FLA with Mauk. But I'm thrilled for Coach Pinkel, who doubled down on his system and recruiting and brought his team back. Franklin - get better, man. You had NFL possibility before this, please get back and show everyone up. IF we drop 2 to SC and FLA, but get back and beat out the back end of the schedule, possible BCS birth.

Government Shutdown on the clock thread
QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Oct 11, 2013 -> 08:44 PM) But they're generally pretty happy to roll over once they lose an election. That's how the 2001 and 2003 tax cuts were passed, that's why 1/3 of the Democrats voted in favor of the Iraq debacle. Tax cuts and hawks still have substantial pull in a large portion of the senate. Gutting health care for poor people, however, is a little different.

QUOTE (ChiSox_Sonix @ Oct 11, 2013 -> 05:20 PM) Someone dropped Tavon Austin in a league I'm in. I'm debating putting in a waiver claim and dropping Steve Smith. It is for my WR4 spot. PPR league, also awards 1 point per 20 return yards. I'm not super high on Austin this year, but I feel he might be an upgrade to Smith later on this season. Thoughts? Man, Austins been tough. First few weeks he had 6 catches, but they have no idea what to do with him right now.

PArt of it is Bears actually rotated out Peppers to keep him fresh. We don't have that luxury this year. Not signing Izzy was a huge mistake. I'm afraid we may have to use a draft pick to get a DT in a trade b/c I don't want to waste this year. One silver lining : Bears have 1 game in next 24 days. Time to get healthy, time for offense to get real comfortable, and time to find a Dtackle worth a damn.

QUOTE (Chilihead90 @ Oct 10, 2013 -> 09:04 PM) I completely disagree. It DOES affect you when you are having to play this now super team, or this super team is in your division and it's a reason you get booted out of the playoffs. It's not fair to have 2 teams working together with twice the amount of draft picks and players available. That's collusion though.

QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ Oct 10, 2013 -> 08:40 PM) I'm starting to get really down about this. I never thought this had the possibility of lasting this long. This short-term debt ceiling increase was bad news for the shut down.

I was so excited for Burris because he was mobile and everyone thought they could find a franchise qb in the arena or cfl or xfl leagues.

QUOTE (Alpha Dog @ Oct 10, 2013 -> 04:37 AM) There could easily be enough votes in the Senate to pass any of the temp funding bills the House has passed, but we'll never know since Reid won't let them come for a vote. Why do you not see that also? What? No there isn't.

QUOTE (Jake @ Oct 10, 2013 -> 05:38 AM) I've always wondered about that. Also the 4.1 to 4.2 to 4.3 changes are not that big. I just went from 4.1 to 4.3, and the real most user-facing changes were changes to Sense and not so much related to 4.3 Right, and I don't use the sense interface so I don't care. I do like the settings moved into the notifications.
