QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Oct 18, 2014 -> 10:59 PM) I actually wanted ND to win that game cause f*** Jameis but there's no doubt that was offensive PI. Easy call. It sucks to end that way but the call was too obvious to not call. The guy was basically run blocking for a pass play. And jimbos speech about class and character all over the org, really?

QUOTE (Brian @ Oct 18, 2014 -> 05:35 PM) Nooooooooooooooo It would be an upgrade for what's there now.

Oh Rutgers. You didn't expect this game to be like Michigan and PSU did you.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Oct 18, 2014 -> 09:28 AM) He must really have started to cause problems. This was something that you would think would wait until the offseason Yeah I was wrong. Apparently he was a terrible teammate there.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Oct 17, 2014 -> 10:40 PM) So the Shriner's Hospital for Children Open is at my club this week. Nothing like watching Billy Horschel/Jimmy Walker/Brandt Snedeker whack it around the same holes you do...I was surprised at how similar they play the holes as I do, with the exception of the par 5's...that's where you really see the difference between their games....the ability to poke it out there 320 fairly easily and then to hit a long iron from 225-230 to about 12 feet. I've never made an eagle in my life and then seeing some fringe pro you've never heard of make 2 in a row is pretty nuts. Looking forward to the weekend. I was watching it tonight, please wear something Sox related so we can see you

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Oct 17, 2014 -> 10:22 PM) I just think he's a great playmaker with the ball in his hands, but not much of a wide receiver. You can't trust him to catch a 3rd down pass over the middle and you have to mix up your whole playbook to get him the ball in space. The Seahawks regret giving him such a big contract, and they were able to get a draft pick and save some salary cap space, so they couldn't say no. It says a lot if a Super Bowl contender can dump you midseason. 18.5 mil for 10 his time there? Is that correct?

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Oct 17, 2014 -> 10:17 PM) whatever happened will come out. Pretty shocking to me though, he seems like the type of player you could tolerate as a bit of a diva Did some digging. Apparently he didnt think he was being used enough and REALLY let it be known after last weeks game.

QUOTE (GoSox05 @ Oct 17, 2014 -> 04:50 PM) Harvin is known to be tough to work with it. It has to be something like that because Seattle has nothing now at WR. Would normally look at the Seattle trade for Harvin as now being a total bust, but they did win a Super Bowl and he played really well in that game. Still he only played 6 regular season games for Seattle. I've never seen anything about him being a bad teammate. I've seen lots of former coaches and teammates support him on Twitter. It's very strange. Maybe he's going to test positive for something. Or maybe he banged someone's wife and that's why they got a divorce.

Lots of luck and good pitching. Not a very repeatable model

QUOTE (nitetrain8601 @ Oct 17, 2014 -> 04:25 PM) Oh please. You're so full of it. You find nothing ever wrong with Apple. You're the biggest Apple ballsucker in the world. Steve Jobs probably didn't love Apple as much as you and was definitely more willing to admit faults. So keep making posts about how Apple's latest phone is the greatest even though someone already came out with it about 2 years ago. And keep bashing all products but apple and minimizing their mistakes if you ever admit them. Dude, its ok.

Of course the one time I play a muni I leave my wallet in the cart. f***

My dog has murdered 2 raccoons since we moved in, that cat is on borrowed time.

QUOTE (Brian @ Oct 17, 2014 -> 06:34 AM) And on the other hand, Snell...ugh. Looks soft and intimidated within 10 feet of hoop. Harda.....nevermind. Brooks also hurts my eyes. He needs to never shoot ever again.

QUOTE (IlliniKrush @ Oct 17, 2014 -> 12:17 AM) When I moved into my house this summer there was a black cat that would show up in the back yard every few days (good omen, eh?). No idea where it came from, figured it was a stray. Few months in, saw it standing next to the neighbors while they were in the driveway, and it's usually on that side of the house, so I presume it's theirs. I then saw another one that started to appear more frequently. It doesn't appear quite as often anymore (I'm guessing they keep it inside more since it's cold), but I was getting irritated with walking outside and having a cat in the yard, at my porch scaring one of us when the door opens, making sure it doesn't get into the garage, get into food if left out on the patio table, or worrying about my small dog going outside in the back yard (who knows how that confrontation would go). I don't think it's too much to ask to keep your pet in your own yard (it's fenced in, but their gate/door is always open), or make some sort of effort to get it back if he wanders away (cat will be outside, but everyone else is inside). I don't let my dog go run around in the neighbor's yard while I'm hanging out inside. Since I just got here a few months ago I haven't said anything to upset the apple cart, but if this starts up again in the spring, I'm going to say something. I don't think that's unreasonable. Our neighbor behind us has an outdoor cat that has snuck in our yard a few times, I called them and even dropped it off once since the odds of my pup murdering it is very high and they dont seem to care. Pretty sure I'll be dropping off a cat corpse on their front porch at some point.

QUOTE (IlliniKrush @ Oct 17, 2014 -> 12:25 AM) Yup, or any stuffed animal/toy that has songs. Purple yellow green and blue I like red and orange too Colors are such fun I think My favorite one is pink pink pink Directv channel 293. I find myself signing the acorn song.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Oct 16, 2014 -> 02:25 PM) I am thinking of taking up golf again after a 5 year absence from golf when I'd relent and play with my dad who has since passed away. Please tell me if I should bother with a return to the sport. 1.) I worked at a golf course as a youth and my best score ever is a lousy 92 or 88. I forget which. 2.) I am 6-foot-2 and often feel 'awkward' in hitting a golf ball, like I'm too tall to be doing this. I've always felt more comfortable hitting a tennis ball or softball. 3.) When I golfed I often would hit a towering drive or smash a good fairway shot but I always would either duff a chip or smash a putt or hook a drive and wind up getting a 6 or 7 on a par 4. Rarely would I complete a hole effectively, thus I'd get maybe one birdie every 2 rounds and only one or two pars a round. I'd always have at least one nine. 4.) I got frustrated at some point during a round at continued ineffectiveness. 5.) I at some point in every round was glad I played because of either the greenery, the friends, whatever. 6.) I need new golf clubs and would have to buy them and that might be difficult to figure out what to buy. My question to you is: Should I abandon all thoughts of returning to golf? Do you good golfers despise hacks like me polluting a course? Are some people just not meant to golf? Thank u for any advice. The winter is ahead with time to decide. You literally just described golf in general. Even single digit handicappers have bad round, bad shots and times when their swing leaves them for weeks at a time. First step at your height is to get fit for clubs, they dont even have to been brand new. Next take a lesson, if its the winter go to golftec and get some film done of your swing so you can start feeling comfortable with it and with your clubs. When spring comes play some rounds but most importantly hit the range as often as you can, and dont waste swings. Take each swing like its a real shot. Your good shots will increase and the bad ones will decrease. At the end of the day its a super frustrating sport but its also f***ing awesome.

Just mentioning Koch should be an auto ban

QUOTE (ChiSox_Sonix @ Oct 14, 2014 -> 08:27 AM) Todd Gurley is back at practice and there's rumblings he will be reinstated by Saturday. No proof he took money. I think the same is going to apply to Winston. While it's significantly more likely these two took money for their autographs rather than not, the burden of proving it is difficult without pictures/videos. I saw the opposite. That Gurley is in real trouble and may hav actually told the truth.

QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ Oct 14, 2014 -> 08:05 AM) I hope Winston plays Saturday. I'm probably in the minority of ND fans, but I don't want ND to go 12-0 after beating a Winston-less FSU and beating Michigan, Stanford, Louisville and USC teams that are all far worse than we thought before the season started. Either win or lose against FSU at their best, and then accept the ranking that actually reflects their team's performance. If ND isn't good enough to beat FSU with Winston, then they aren't good enough to beat the SEC Champion in the playoff, and I'd rather go win the Orange Bowl than get blown out in a playoff game. That said, if Winston is suspended for some reason, I'm still rooting for ND to win of course. He will play. Jimbo is relying on a liar telling him the truth. I think everyone will be in NDs corner this weekend.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Oct 13, 2014 -> 11:40 PM) I bet he's out this weekend but gets reinstated Monday Literally no way they sit him at this point. Jimbo has made it clear he's riding the wave with him until it breaks.

QUOTE (IlliniKrush @ Oct 13, 2014 -> 05:34 PM) It's been far, far too long before another Winston controversy popped up, so here you go: http://espn.go.com/college-football/story/...ston-autographs Almost 1000 signed items authenticated from a signing. You are telling me he did that for free? I bet this only effects his baseball season.

QUOTE (gatnom @ Oct 13, 2014 -> 03:01 PM) Man, you must be an Illinois fan with accusations like that! I do remember seeing those pictures of Laquon Treadwell flashing a bunch of money and thinking he should be a little more careful with social media. It's not an accusation, it's pretty well known. They have a 2-3 year window here before Freeze bolts and the program tanks because of sanctions. The question is whether it's worth it.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Oct 12, 2014 -> 07:23 PM) I understand why they are good, but I still find it funny that Alabama and Mississippi are the center of the football universe of all states. Ole Miss has bought and paid for a majority of their team, they are already under investigation.

QUOTE (Tex @ Oct 12, 2014 -> 08:31 AM) So I switched from my 20 year old Taylor Made bubble shafted driver to a Titleist 913D and seem to be giving up some distance in exchange for accuracy. The main issue seems to be I feel like that giant club head is hitting so much wind resistance, like a giant jib in front of a sailboat. Does that feeling go away? I had my players out on the range with our range finders targeting in our wedge distances, learning how to hit wedges from 30 to 80 yards with some accuracy. Afterwards it was bang the driver time. So I know the distances are accurate and I was hitting both drivers side by side. The 913D is more lofted, but the overall height of each shot was roughly the same. What I couldn't seem to judge was the shape. I'm not certain if the Taylor Made was a flatter overall trajectory and that the Titleist was peaking and dropping straighter down. There is literally no way a comparable 913 wouldnt go further. You are either adjusting your swing path or you picked the less than ideal shaft and head combo. The 913 is an amazing driver and added a good 15-20 yard of carry from my R7

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Oct 10, 2014 -> 09:55 AM) But toughness! Even the Maple Leafs cut their enforcers Orr and McLaren. Dallas proved last night that teams can get physical and dominate the Hawks, however we do not need an "enforcer" we just need a bit more size with skill.
