QUOTE(bmags @ Dec 2, 2007 -> 11:40 PM) You travel because you want any excuse you can get to get out of that boring ass state. Good lord, driving down to san antonio to actually see the game live that you all had to watch other teams play because in your best football season ever you couldn't even win your division, I had to switch drivers in kansas to try and sleep through it. Driving through kansas is like running on a treadmill. Try it at night, no lights on a boring highway...many days of marijuana drives with pink floyd in the background, while driving home to chicago.

I am watching the game on Tivo, we are missing some huge piece...Sherron Collins and tyrel reed.

QUOTE(whitesoxfan101 @ Dec 2, 2007 -> 11:25 PM) The best part of Illinois in the Rose Bowl is they avoid Georgia, Oklahoma, and Florida, who are all better teams than USC is by far, and certainly worse matchups for Illinois. It's a very good matchup for Illinois, as their weakness (defense) will be offset by the bewilderingly poor offense of USC, and the USC strength of defense will be put to the test against the Illini offense. Should be a great game, and WOW Missouri got screwed, poor guys. It's a shame Hawaii and Kansas made the BCS by avoiding playing anybody, but hey this system does suck, so it happens. As for the best teams....I have thought all year Oklahoma was the best team I've seen and I stand by it. Georgia is getting close though since they started playing Moreno, I still think Florida is better than LSU, and Ohio State would struggle to make my top 10 of best teams I've seen. Ohio State has a shot against LSU though, this year is the worst to not have a playoff since the 2 teams playing for the title are nowhere near the best 2 teams IMO. The problem for Ohio State is Dorsey is going to be healthy for the game, and he can by himself ruin the inside running game, and Beanie won't be able to get outside on their defense. Missouri is ok, they will always have their love of meth labs, and their historic belief that slavery was a good thing.

so lets look at the whole schedule for bowl games...what are the best matchups?

QUOTE(danman31 @ Dec 2, 2007 -> 10:49 PM) That's for men's sports, they have a softball title like a decade ago lol. Yeah, I'm looking forward to it. my bad,

QUOTE(Shadows @ Dec 2, 2007 -> 10:43 PM) haha man, im loving seeing you rip Missouri in all the college football talk Its even funnier considering how much s*** bmags was talking its a very intense rivalry. Yes, Mizzou beat us, but who the hell wants that boring fan base in their town. Our fan base is known to travel and has shown that many times. I think the winner of all this is our AD, who did the same awesome work at UCONN before. The BCS is all about how much money they can get for these towns anyways.

mizzou...haha gotta get into the bcs first....

QUOTE(IlliniKrush @ Dec 2, 2007 -> 10:31 PM) This is the biggest problem with the 'system' right now. agreed

QUOTE(CanOfCorn @ Dec 2, 2007 -> 10:28 PM) I like what Herbstreit said the other day...either all conferences have Championship Games or none of them. If there aren't two divisions, then the top two teams play. I hate to use the word 'fair' but it isn't fair. Mizzou definitely got jobbed. Illinois probably shouldn't be in the BCS games, but the Rose Bowl has always been Big10/Pac10 and they are the Grandaddy of them all...so, I can't use that as an excuse. Also, the Cotton Bowl has the Big 12 runner-up tie-in, so, send an email to the Big 12 commissioner...that's all you can do.. But I agree, Mizzou got jobbed. if you were not watching the Big 12 championship, the Big 12 commish all but said Kansas would get in over Muck FIzzou if they lost.

by the way since the beginning of the big 12, mizzou has still never a won a single conference championship in any sport.

QUOTE(maggsmaggs @ Dec 2, 2007 -> 10:19 PM) 1) Missouri beat Kansas on a neutral field in November. 2) Missouri had the 26th rated strength of schedule(out of 119 teams) and Kansas had the 109th rated schedule. 3) Missouri is HIGHER ranked in the BCS 4) Missouri is rated higher in both the AP and Coaches Poll 5) Missouri has beaten three teams in the AP top 26 (two of which are BCS bowl teams,) Kansas has beaten 0. 6) Missouri has played five games against AP top 26 teams, Kansas has played 1 and lost that game. 7) In five games against common opponents (Iowa St., Kansas St., Colorado, Texas A&M and Nebraska,) Missouri has outscored the opponents by 125, while Kansas has only outscored the common opponents by 94. 8) Every major expert on Fox's bowl show and ESPN's bowl show agreed that Missouri got jobbed and Kansas did not deserve their BCS bowl bid. Kansas clearly does not deserve to go over Mizzou. Team that lose in conference championship, dont get in...you had your chance and lost twice to OU. now suck it slaver.

QUOTE(Buehrle>Wood @ Dec 2, 2007 -> 10:14 PM) I hope KU and UofI win. That is all. I do too, my dad was so happy about Illinois. We may be doing both bowl games together, never thought that would have happened back in August.

QUOTE(bmags @ Dec 2, 2007 -> 09:52 PM) since it hasn't been said yet this page...missouri got jobbed. go bring me back some cotton, tiger

QUOTE(Jenksismyb**** @ Dec 2, 2007 -> 09:32 PM) Lol, the Heismann has nothing to do with who is better than who. You don't think there's politicking involved? Hell Mike Hart continued to get pub for it even when he was sitting out games and two or three other big ten running backs had better numbers. And you play the schedule you're given. I don't doubt that if Hawaii played in the SEC or other major conference they wouldn't have gone 12-0. But so what? The fact is he lead his team to a great season. But more importantly, he holds tons and tons of PASSING records for qb's in all of college football. What I heard from Jones was: Brennan is a QB, Tebow is an option QB. Brennan can make all the throws, Tebow is an option QB. Tebow will probably win the Heismann, he had a great year. But how many Heismann winners succeed on sundays? More importantly, how many option qb's succeed on sunday? For some reason the NFL keeps trying, *cough "#10 best player of all time" cough*, yet they never do well. Go ask Eric Couch how the NFL treated him. Lets see, QB, WR, kick returner, towel boy. I see the same thing for Tebow. Tebow's as a pro should be fun to watch...

Lou Holtz cracks me up.....I loved kansas since the beginning, i tell you this, there in trouble.....

QUOTE(IlliniKrush @ Dec 2, 2007 -> 09:23 PM) Now thanks pal... I love fatgino, cant wait to see what he thinks of for this gameplan. THe future of Kansas is very bright

QUOTE(IlliniKrush @ Dec 2, 2007 -> 09:02 PM) June Jones just called Tim Tebow a "system quarterback" on ESPN. Basically was trashing Tebow left and right, said he wasn't an accurate passer, etc. have the interviewd mark fatgino yet?

Mizzou v. Arkansas in the inbred bowl??

Great day for the Big 12....Ku and Texas win today. KU and Texas will both be in top 5 next week!!!!

Illinois and KU lose to mizzou and still get in....haha....

The orange chose kansas first out of the open spots, i know they had first pick followed by Fiesta. I think we were in more demand than I thought.

Ron Franklin, oh man you are boring

QUOTE(Brian @ Dec 1, 2007 -> 10:33 PM) Big 10 needs another team than has to split into 2 divisions. Don't see it happening. Doesn't really bother me either that there isn't one. Illinois fans would say they have a gripe but it's pretty clear cut. you can have iowa state, they cant win anything.

anyone else agree the pac 10 and big 10 need a championship game also?
