You know college bball has started when you find yourself throwing your arms up in your living room at the terrible officiating.

Of course it's expensive. They decided to outbid another team for a guy that appears to be a reliable LHP out of the pen.

Don Cooper special. It pays to be an effective LHP out of the pen.

I'm guessing fractured kneecap

Frank Clark dismissed 3 years too late but finally they got it correct.

Muschamp canned.

The Big Ten may take lumps but what a collection of running backs. At least two legit heisman quality ones.

Frank Clark arrested for domestic violence. He missed one game for felony robbery. Will he be back for the game?

QUOTE (whitesoxfan99 @ Nov 15, 2014 -> 06:52 PM) So much for MSU and TCU not being able to play with Notre Dame on a neutral field. I'm worried about Hickory

That was the strangest one sided game ever.

Lol. This should be a shutout.

Don't need the officials to take 6 points off the board either.

We are going to be extremely good and then extremely bad at times this season. It will be maddening.

Fsu is a dumpster fire. Fans may want to enjoy success while it lasts.

We couldn't get a pair that cost ~$150 at group pricing to last an entire season for around a quarter of the team. They did stuff like Manu's, though a bit more gradual We had converse or reeboks because of the same issue. I actually wore personal Jordan's just for games that lasted pretty well.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Nov 14, 2014 -> 01:10 PM) He already wears braces with them. Not the kind I was referring to. It saved me many times.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Nov 14, 2014 -> 12:04 PM) Haven't a few players totally blown out of Nikes? I think they are trying to make shoes so light anymore, they all are pieces of crap. Yeah, the material isnt as strong as it was but they are light as hell. Rose should just wear active ankle braces with his shoes, they would save him from every ankle roll possible.

I was in MN all week, kind of nice to have the cold but not have to ever go outside to walk from hotel to the office. The only thing I like about winter is wearing boots.

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Nov 14, 2014 -> 10:00 AM) I'm starting to buy the hype, but I just can't expect more than being a bubble team. Lack of front court depth is going to be a huge problem. And bball season has officially begun.

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Nov 13, 2014 -> 09:45 PM) Hamstring issue for Derrick. Hurray different leg problems... It's the ankle. I don't believe it's the hammy at all.

QUOTE (SleepyWhiteSox @ Nov 13, 2014 -> 09:33 PM) Tweaked the ankle on a slip. Ankle gave way a bit, not the knee. He was walking on it. No need to push it. He'll be fine... . . . Gotta rest those ankles more than a day or two. They aren't improving.

That looked bad. Like the leg gave way.

QUOTE (bigruss22 @ Nov 13, 2014 -> 05:56 PM) I think we're up there, but if he doesn't reclassify (which with Abrams back next year isn't the worst thing for us) then that gives the big boys (namely Syracuse) to gain ground/put distance between us. One of the most disappointing things with Groce/Ford is that they keep getting rave reviews in Canada for their connections but they can't seem to land any of those top guys, if they are going to continue to spend time recruiting/scouting up there then they need to get some value out of it. On the plus side with the class they got they should be excellent because he can actually coach.

QUOTE (bigruss22 @ Nov 12, 2014 -> 08:38 PM) According to 247's composite ranking, Illinois landed the 2nd highest ranked player of all Big Ten teams in Coleman-Lands. And we have the 8th rated class (right behind yours Rock). -Man the Big Ten had a fairly weak class so far. -Lots of players not signing NLOIs in the early period. It'll be interesting to see how the recruiting game shifts with so many top players waiting to commit/sign now. We are 100% done and there is a chance ILL and others could add some guys so I think overall the Big Ten could improve.
