  1. QUOTE (SnB @ Dec 5, 2011 -> 08:14 AM) On a different note, AT&T Park would be an AWESOME place to watch an illini bowl game. Too bad no one in their right mind is going to drop that dough on airfare to watch a horribly disappointing team play another bad team. Has there ever been a bowl game where the two teams have a combined losing record?
  2. QUOTE (IlliniKrush @ Dec 5, 2011 -> 07:28 AM) IMO the Big 12 is not better than the SEC. Most experts agree, just go by the eye test. Overrated Penn St? Who did Oklahoma St beat out of conference? And yes, their loss is WAY better. Sorry you lost to f***ing Iowa St, that's no one's fault but your own. The whole winning conference/division makes no difference to me, like I said earlier you would have had the same thing if LSU lost Saturday, and they still would have been in the title game. Plus, they had the 1/2/3 teams in the COUNTRY in the same division at one point. There's no way their resume is "clearly better", there's no way they clearly played a better schedule. Besides, if LSU is the #1 team, Alabama took them to overtime, to pretend they aren't even close to the #2 team is ignorant. The bottom line is that if they never played each other during the regular season this wouldn't be an issue. Most people just want something different instead of the rematch, that's what is fueling the hate. That's fine to want something different, but to use that to say Oklahoma St is clearly better is weak. What's fueling my hate is that this is college football where "every game counts" and November 5th apparently didn't mean a damn thing. When there's no playoff system there should be no rematches in the National Championship especially when the losing team lost that game at home. And I actually enjoyed the first game, I couldn't care less if there wasn't a touchdown but the BCS is completely ruining college football for me, I love college sports but the fact that this f***in monstrosity is allowed to decide a National Champion is f***in garbage. And to be honest Kenny, I really don't know if I will watch the game, I just couldn't care less. I'll watch Ok State-Stanford and Oregon-Wisconsin, the rest of the BCS games are a complete snooze fest for me, just don't care.

    QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Dec 4, 2011 -> 09:28 AM) Lawfirm's possible 3 carries in a game, Ced Ben's boating under the influence ass or Shonn Greene's awfulness?!?!?!?! Hardest f***in fantasy decision ever, someone make this f***in decision for me, f*** Damn it.
  4. If Alabama wins, you'll have 3 teams that could make a fair argument that they're the National Champion, gotta love the BCS. Dumbest f***in thing in sports.
  5. QUOTE (danman31 @ Dec 4, 2011 -> 04:10 PM) I think Luka Mirkovic is a double agent working against Northwestern. Man he sucks. That was depressing to watch. It was amazing to me that Northwestern was favored in this game and they literally had 0 shot, just outclassed, Mirkovic must have had like 932432424232 shots blocked, extreme athleticism mismatch.
  6. Not sure I'll even watch the title game, meh.

  9. QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Dec 2, 2011 -> 10:35 AM) Donovan McNabb - McDonald's... I'm lovin' it. Haha well played.
  10. QUOTE (MAX @ Dec 2, 2011 -> 12:38 AM) He had a ton of attempts in two of those weeks. Not an impressive avg. Truth but there isn't a guy right now who gets more out of nothing than him, he turns a negative into a positive a lot. Not to mention that one of those games was against the Ravens as well.
  11. Not sure what has gotten into Marshawn the last 5 weeks but dude is an absolute beast right now.
  12. Happy bday Usain!
  13. Anyone else watch TUF this yr? Awesome season and Saturday should be a lot of fun.
  14. Nick Young being mentioned as well though he's a rfa and apparently in no hurry to leave Washington...
  15. QUOTE (kjshoe04 @ Dec 1, 2011 -> 01:12 AM) This is true. I just would like to see more of them as a team. They have a chance to make a ton of noise. Hopefully they have a strong enough resume and lose in St. Louis. To SIU in a 1-10 showdown in the championship. Seriously though, this is a 2-3 bid league this yr, CU will be a lock come Arch Madness barring injury.
  16. QUOTE (kjshoe04 @ Dec 1, 2011 -> 12:02 AM) I'm not sure I'd go that far yet. I'd like to see them in conference before I could say that. SDSU is a real nice win, but outside of that they have played nobody. Not really talking about their wins right now, their talent far exceeds most valley teams of the past decade, Doug McDermott is about as good as you'll see in our league.

    QUOTE (Brian @ Nov 30, 2011 -> 07:06 PM) Saw it in the theatre. It is tremendous and encourage anyone and everyone to see it ASAP. Ya, one of my favorite movies I've seen in the last few yrs, I absolutely loved it.
  18. This years Creighton squad is the best Valley team since the 07 Salukis, they're scary...
  19. QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Nov 30, 2011 -> 01:08 PM) I'd like to see if someone has run some sort of weighted ranking of NCAA success to seeding. I feel like every year Duke is given a 1-2 seed (usually undeserving). Are two wins that tough with such a high seeding? Ya, this is just untrue. A lot of people understand the flaws that recent Duke teams have had going into the tourny but they've almost always have earned their seeding with what they accomplished in the regular season.
  20. QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Nov 30, 2011 -> 11:47 AM) yes. yes it is Quiet you.
  21. QUOTE (ChiSox_Sonix @ Nov 30, 2011 -> 08:11 AM) OSU is legit but thank god they played the way they are capable of so Duke is exposed. I hate that every year they have all this hype and are nothing more than a sweet 16 team Was 2010 that long ago?

    I guess I'm in the minority but I've liked the last couple HIMYM's...

    QUOTE (SoxAce @ Nov 25, 2011 -> 10:02 PM) Just lost alot of respect in my book Row. I'm going to assume this is just damaged brain cells from the crazy drinking lately to help me sleep better at night. Doubtful. QUOTE (IlliniKrush @ Nov 25, 2011 -> 10:44 PM) You need help. In many ways. Ya, love you too.
  25. QUOTE (justBLAZE @ Nov 25, 2011 -> 11:38 PM) Precisely and this guy appears to be worse version of Flowers.. color me confused. I'm not a big fan of Romine either BUT Flowers and Romine are about as different as can be.
