Nice to see Jo sit out the whole game, and Rose not play in the second half.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Oct 7, 2014 -> 08:57 PM) Here's more on this incident of police abuse. http://www.chicagotribune.com/#navtype=navbar I'm fairly sure that police cannot demand identification. I'm also willing to believe that the passenger was legitimately concerned for his personal safety. And even if their demands were legal, I'm still not sure how their actions come close to being justified. It is about an officer being shot in the head, which is probably the main worry of the officer as the woman in the car is yelling at the police, and the guy in the car isn't cooperating.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Oct 7, 2014 -> 08:48 PM) saying "im going to overreact and assault you" doesn't actually justify it. Great. Next time I get pulled over, I am just going to ignore the police officer. They obviously can't do anything about it.

The fun part is that the Mayor of Hammond has been campaigning for governor for years now, and now that Bayh is not running officially, has all but thrown his hat into the ring for the office. This might well torpedo that run with a lot of people he was hoping to get to the polls in NWI. http://www.gohammond.com/mayor-mcdermotts-...mr-jamal-jones/

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Oct 7, 2014 -> 08:38 PM) Why did the police just decide to smash a window and tazer him? How many times did they ask him to get out and told him they would do it?

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Oct 7, 2014 -> 07:20 PM) There's definitely time for him at the 2 if he doesnt suck. Under 10 per game tops. Probably more like 2-3 on a normal night. You know Butler is going to be in the 35-40 minute range. Thibs also likes using a PG set with Derrick at the two guard. (Kirk and Derrick in the back court) At the three he is going be using Dunleavy and Dougie for the most part. I wouldn't be shocked to see some "big" sets with someone like Gasol and Noah up front, and someone like Taj at the 3. I just don't see Snell as having much room.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Oct 7, 2014 -> 07:00 PM) OK, why didn't he just get out of the car?

QUOTE (Brian @ Oct 7, 2014 -> 07:04 PM) After what he showed in summer league, he needs to show up and produce this year. Snell is pretty well buried on the depth chart. We aren't going to see a whole lot of him.

QUOTE (knightni @ Oct 7, 2014 -> 03:39 PM) I compare Illinois football to DePaul basketball. They can't even attract good in-state and Chicagoland kids anymore and are living in the past. They need to build from within and stop looking for a miracle hire. Otherwise, any coach successful at Illinois is going to leave within a few years for a better job. That isn't a bad comp at all. Glory days gone by for sure.

QUOTE (Jake @ Oct 7, 2014 -> 03:27 PM) Jay has a larger cap hit than all of the best QBs in the league this year. Next year his cap is $1.5M less than Aaron Rodgers. That means he has to be absolutely fabulous or the team has to be lucky and get production for less-than-market-value from other positions. We're getting less than what we paid for from Jay, evidenced by the fact that every team with a better QB is taking a smaller cap hit Cap hit is a brutal way to judge players in the NFL. There is so much manipulation of those numbers based on teams situations at the time.

QUOTE (Joshua Strong @ Oct 7, 2014 -> 03:20 PM) I would have been tempted to send Courtney Hawkins there. Just to give a taste of higher competition so both him and the club will have a better idea of what he needs to work on. I really want to like Olacio, the potential is there but he drastically needs to improve his command. I like Bassit and that he should be given a chance to start the year in the rotation. Where does Tim Anderson okay in the major? Is he really that bad defensively as his high total of errors indicates him being? Can Montas join the rotation at some point next year, joining Rodon? Montas is a long away from Chicago. Probably a year and a half or two years under good conditions. Even close to three years wouldn't be awful, considering the injury time he lost this year, and where he is in the minors.

QUOTE (Baron @ Oct 7, 2014 -> 02:57 PM) I just asked George about where this came from and mentioned Abreu. It's definitely from Jose. Interesting to know. More than anything, it excites me that Jose loves it on the southside enough to be recruiting for us already.

QUOTE (Baron @ Oct 7, 2014 -> 02:26 PM) Exactly what I was wondering. I have seen zero connection between the White Sox and Tomas. There was plenty of news about the Sox seeing Viciedo and Abreu ahead of time, and of them wanting him. I have literally seen NO stories about the Sox scouting or having interest in Tomas, besides this one.

QUOTE (StRoostifer @ Oct 7, 2014 -> 02:34 PM) That's fine. I'd be willing to bet Cabrera rejects the QO and opts for FA. He's 30 and this could likely be his last chance at a long term deal (3-5 years). Plus its likely he could get a bit more per year than the QO. It still means we would give up a 2nd round pick to sign him, in addition to the contract.

QUOTE (Chilihead90 @ Oct 7, 2014 -> 02:22 PM) And knowing Reetz would cost more than Fry, they could have saved money on one of the other picks RD 4-10. They already had two throw away picks in the first 10 rounds, plus another which came in under the cap.

QUOTE (Baron @ Oct 7, 2014 -> 02:17 PM) George Ofman @georgeofman · 31m 31 minutes ago Look for White Sox to bid high for Cuban free agent Yasmany Tomas. Power corner outfielder who knows Abreu. https://twitter.com/georgeofman Based on what? They didn't even attend his work out according to the press reports of who was there.

QUOTE (IlliniKrush @ Oct 7, 2014 -> 02:21 PM) Southsider you're either trolling or you don't follow college football and Illinois closely enough. We lost Sumlin to Texas A&M. Big shocker there. You would have said the same thing about Wisconsin years ago, or Duke recently. One coach can make all the difference. There's nothing inherent that makes it a dead end job or set up for failure. That doesn't make any sense. Knight, as far as your comment about unreasonable expectations. Come on. I don't expect us to compete for BT titles outside the once every magical year thing, but to consistently make bowls and be competitive in most BT games? If that's unreasonable I don't know what is reasonable. The program used to be right behind a Michigan and OSU. We don't even need to get to that level. But there's no reason they can't be an Iowa. None. And that's not unreasonable expectations. Great. But because of where Illinois is as a job, the odds of getting that coach are greatly decreased. That is the reality today. Coaches are avoiding Illinois for a reason.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Oct 7, 2014 -> 02:12 PM) I think he's confusing basketball and football fans. Not really. I think the basketball program has a higher expectation and chance at sustained success. The football program is just dead to the world.
