QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Nov 12, 2014 -> 05:06 PM) Here was my issue with VMart: A 4 year deal is crazy because of age. I wouldn't have wanted to give up a high 2nd round pick for a short 2 year deal either. The sox were never going four years with him.

Nice class Matta.

QUOTE (Brian @ Nov 12, 2014 -> 07:02 AM) So you didn't mind being two weeks away possibly from the national title game and having Illinois yank that away? What Bowl game did OSU play in that year?

QUOTE (Brian @ Nov 10, 2014 -> 05:06 PM) 7 years ago, illinois beat #1 at the horseshoe. Ultimately it got them 4 more years of Zook. So who really won?

Hahaha. They are so poorly coached it's hilarious.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Nov 9, 2014 -> 08:36 PM) Last year, yes. But this year, all 3 phases have been equally bad. Right, the defense has been the biggest issue the last two years.

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Nov 9, 2014 -> 08:31 PM) Again, I'm not saying Tucker is good or the D is acceptable, but when you start the list of what needs to change going forward Tucker is about 6-7 on my list. Even though by far the largest weakness of this team the last two years has been the defense? Ok I guess.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Nov 9, 2014 -> 08:15 PM) No one is defending Tucker. It's just that the head coach, QB, and offense deserve the most blame, that's where the money has been spent And in the head coach's tenure the worst part of the team has been the defense. It's a huge issue.

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Nov 9, 2014 -> 08:10 PM) It's not a defense so much as a he's not the main problem. He's down the list of issues this team has. The Bears have a horrendous defense. How is that down the list?

Wow O line. Wow.

Why is the run blocking so consistently bad.

QUOTE (bmags @ Nov 9, 2014 -> 07:58 PM) What's it like to not be a Bears fan? I imagine it's heaven. It could be much worse than being a Bears fan though.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Nov 9, 2014 -> 07:56 PM) I think he started practicing, and he needs 2 to 3 weeks to be ready to play. Not that it matters. I can't even be mad at Tucker this year. Blame goes 100% on the offense The defense has extremely poor fundamentals. Both units are poor in effort and execution.

QUOTE (Brian @ Nov 7, 2014 -> 01:18 PM) As much as I hate OSU, I have to respect their longevity, minus that one post Tresell year. MSU has been good for 2 years and they think they're a dynasty after winning one Rose Bowl against a down Pac 12 champion. One BCS game. Ever.

QUOTE (Brian @ Nov 7, 2014 -> 12:00 PM) I'm a bad Michigan fan. I think I would prefer it if OSU won Sat because MSU fans are sensitive babies.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Nov 6, 2014 -> 11:49 AM) Eh, that might account for a small number, but most of it is simple disinterest (or outright throwing up their hands). Which is a shame. There is no compelling reason to make a choice, each side is on the take from special interests or their own party. Nothing ever changes and if it does the next election will be about changing those changes. When have we ever had an election where its about keeping things the way they are because it great right now? Its always whats wrong, and how to right the ship. The f***ing ship never gets "righted"

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Nov 4, 2014 -> 10:37 PM) Emelin (Mon D man) hit Sharp into the boards, and it looks like Sharp's knee went pretty hard into the boards from the hit. Sharp hardly put any pressure on his knee coming off the ice and to the locker room. s***. Teuvo time I guess

Now go away forever oberweis

QUOTE (SoxAce @ Nov 4, 2014 -> 09:42 PM) Knee. Did not look good. Q just said he's out "for a bit." Usually that means weeks in his language. I saw indefinitely. How bad did it look

What was sharps injury.

QUOTE (Brian @ Nov 4, 2014 -> 08:16 PM) Aaron Craft. /trolling The worst part about all of this is how harsh your boy got hit with a single positive test for weed. Compare that to DUI's etc and its hilarious

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Nov 4, 2014 -> 03:30 PM) The problem is people that age make dumb decisions. We all have at that age, and those who aren't there yet will. Combine that with how they have been given red carpet treatment since they have shown they were special athletically, a monster gets created. Some overcome it. Some fall predictably into the trap. I totally get it, but I also think part of having a focused team is recruiting the right players and leaders as well as having that clean culture that some coaches can instill. You also need to have zero tolerance if you want a clean program or at least take more than a few exhibition games away from the kids.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Nov 4, 2014 -> 03:13 PM) Would you say the same thing if you were 18 or 19 and it ws being shoved in your face? No idea. I know that I was drug tested heavily as it was but when you are training so heavily trying to fulfill your dreams I cant see going out before an event or even doing drugs in season something I would do.

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Nov 4, 2014 -> 12:24 PM) I don't really disagree with him. There's the annoying "Indiana is the Mecca of college basketball morality" feeling in what he's saying, but I took it as, stop giving these moronic kid excuses. If you're excited to play for Indiana basketball, you don't go partying the night before the first public scrimmage. I think that's pretty reasonable. I mean, some athletes nowadays are just very entitled from their HS careers across the board. If I had a chance to step on the court or field at my dream school I wouldnt be partaking in drugs or alcohol, especially the night before an event.

QUOTE (bmags @ Nov 3, 2014 -> 04:44 PM) What a bunch of old man yells at cloud b.s. Overwhelmingly ive seen fans agree with him at least on social media. They think IU ball is sacred and the players aren't acting that way.
