Illinois doesnt need the Illinois kids to be successful, they need to recruit the midwest smarter than they are today. I could name 10 players they should be in on and wont be and those kids will be studs at MAC or other even lower tier Big Ten schools.

QUOTE (Brian @ Oct 7, 2014 -> 07:39 AM) I've always liked watching McDermott move without the ball. Last night, there were like 3 times in a few minutes where Brooks was dribbling, drew Doug's guy off and just kept dribbling instead of passing to McBuckets. I was oddly upset cuz I wanted to see him shoot a bunch. Guess this isn't the summer League for Snell anymore. Snell was terrible at both ends, he really sucked hard.

Snell is terrible.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Oct 6, 2014 -> 03:09 PM) I held the new iPhones today (getting serious about making the dive). I'm unimpressed. They're basically Androids now in look and feel. The only thing holding them back is a circle button. I agree with you, it felt and looked like a samsung I held awhile ago, or even the 2nd iphone.

QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ Oct 6, 2014 -> 03:54 PM) I was speaking from an ND standpoint. ND factuly/staff/alums will not have a high level of interest in this game and I shouldn't have problems getting tickets if you aren't able to get them through Miami. Yeah I'm sure nobody will care, Miami's team sucks really badly. Appreciate the offer I may hit you up on that one.

QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ Oct 6, 2014 -> 01:03 PM) There will be six home games plus the Shamrock series game. Known home opponents so far for 2017 are Georgia, Miami, USC, NC State and Navy. Georgia and USC are going to be the highest demand games out of those five. There is also one more home ACC opponent yet to be announced, and there's a good chance that's going to be Florida State. Yes, I get that Miami has more name recognition than the standard MAC team, but I still think it will be a low demand game. Lots of faculty/staff will be selling off that game from their season tickets, and alumni who only requested Miami in the lottery as a backup plan but actually got Georgia/USC tickets will also be selling. Miami has a huge Midwest/Chicago alumni base that doesn't travel very well at all. The Ohio alumni base is more interested in what Ohio state is doing.

QUOTE (ChiSox_Sonix @ Oct 6, 2014 -> 01:55 PM) Nevermind, I saw your post about the match and didn't click the link, but after seeing Rock's post I just assumed he was saying SI screwed up and was talking about the University of Miami (FL). News about a team scheduling Miami of Ohio 3 years down the road is hardly news so that again made me think it was the one in Florida. Miami University vs University of Miami One was a university before the other's city or state ever existed.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Oct 6, 2014 -> 11:25 AM) Freshman QB Treon Harris, who replaced Driskel on Saturday, is "being investigated" in a "legal matter". Looks like Rape investigation.

QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ Oct 6, 2014 -> 11:36 AM) http://www.si.com/college-football/2014/10...dame-miami-ohio It's Miami University SI you f***s. And awesome, maybe ill finally make a game in South Bend.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Oct 6, 2014 -> 11:25 AM) I'm more worried about some school like West Virginia than Florida or Michigan. Projecting the fired coaches: Kansas, Michigan, West Virginia, Iowa State, Hawaii, Idaho (how did anyone anyone give Paul Petrino a HC job), UNLV. Don't see anyone else really that close. Maybe a surprise or 2. Maybe Colorado opens up. Gonna be interesting how the food chain ends up. Harbaugh going from nfl to Michigan is the best case scenario. Not sure who Florida goes after. West Virginia and Illinois would be in for similar candidates with them being the better job. Coacheshotseat.com lists Saban as having the hottest seat. Okay. Counting on Michigan to have a good list for their search is giving them too much credit, but I still think ILL could get a jump on some serious candidates before the offseason and could make a really nice hire.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Oct 6, 2014 -> 11:13 AM) I wasnt around when it went down, but long story short is Ncorg presented himself as someone in the know, and irritated a lot of people in doing so. JimH and Quickman did some internet digging(which probably could have gotten them arrested now) and busted the guy out on the site. IIRC they even went so far as to contact his ex wife to verify some of it. one of the most deep cutting "outs" ever. Better than finding out you dont have season tickets to the niners.

Rumors circling around Florida right now, not good. For some reason whenever Illinois appears to start a coaching search there are higher profile jobs that just open. If I was ILL I would pounce now before Michigan, Florida and some of the others have openings.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Oct 6, 2014 -> 10:32 AM) Ncorgbl. Pretty sure he was the one that was exposed by JimH and Quickman, and then he disappeared. Talk about blasts from the past

Katy Perry.

They tore down the goalposts at Rutgers. Not a joke.

Still have good games left too. Awesome.

Katy Perry nailing her picks today.

Ole Miss is getting screwed over and over.

Billed as biggest game in Maryland history, students completely gone before end of third.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Oct 3, 2014 -> 10:20 PM) Is anyone in danger... well besides Joe maybe getting a management job? Maybe of being demoted from what I know. not sure what was going on wednesday but there is something in the air. I cannot divulge further

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Oct 3, 2014 -> 11:35 PM) The Tigers won the division despite an awful bullpen. The Royals won the wild card because of an awesome bullpen. Definitely a talent gap there though. The royals didnt even hit 100 HR too.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Oct 3, 2014 -> 08:24 PM) I feel like if they can solve one of these major issues through trade they can pull of the rest in a sensible way (and don't have to lose their 1st round pick if they sign someone), but the key step is they need a major trade to fill 1+ of these holes. Depending on what starts to shake loose they can also spend some money. First up is figure out who will be on the coaching staff.

Kershaw vs Wainright is 10-6. Wtf.

QUOTE (ROC Sox Fan @ Oct 3, 2014 -> 07:16 PM) I'm rooting for Uribe. Dude is a baller who is beloved everywhere he goes.
