ISU up 29-25 on NIU at the half. Missing Christopherson hurts a lot.

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Jan 3, 2011 -> 06:18 PM) Eh, you and I could beat that NIU team 2 on 5. Good, because if Christopherson's out, it's essentially 4 on 5.

Yippee, I guess Christoperson's a game time decision tonight. That would give ISU 6 scholarship players for tonight and just 9 available overall. NIU might have a chance.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Jan 3, 2011 -> 01:50 PM) Really? Interesting. Any news link on that? Just curious who, and why. It's all on Cyclones.com. Jordan Railey, our backup center, flipped his SUV on New Years and alcohol is suspected, so that might be connected.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Jan 3, 2011 -> 01:17 PM) If they win, their 13-2 OOC mark will be the best they've had since 2000. Of course the competition has been weak, but its still progress, which is all I was really hoping for from Freddy. That UNI loss still stings. 14-1 with the only loss being to Cal, that would look pretty good right now. Iowa State added two football players to their basketball team today.

Northern Illinois, prepare to eat s*** tonight.

Unfortunately, I will not be there. I'm not sure if you want to still do this.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jan 2, 2011 -> 11:56 PM) I just disagree about Minn. vs. Chicago. They won almost all the games they played against us last year and still return the core of the team. I don't know why you think our starting pitching is title caliber and the bullpen. This team could fall apart and it wouldn't be Oz's fault. It also could win big. If the team doesn't win this year, it will more than likely go into rebuild mode. If that's the case, a new manager and possibly general manager would come along with it.

QUOTE (knightni @ Jan 2, 2011 -> 10:39 PM) As an experiment - and of the fact that my NFL spread picks have thoroughly sucked over the last 4 weeks - I decided to pick against the majority on ESPN's Pigskin Pick Em. If more than 50% picked a team on Wednesday to win, I went the opposite way. Result: 9-7. Can't win for losing... Week 17 isn't the best test sample for picking a game. Can't imagine that formula works too often.

A lot of carrot talk.

Anyone else watch that Sam Bradford interview? His voice is calming. Very calming.

Wow, Colts turn it over late, Titans f*** it up and fumble it.

QUIT WITH THE f***ING DROPS

For the love of Christ, Garçon...

Way to keep looking at the camera Bulaga.

Heh, Bears may want to pull their starters if the OL doesn't want to block and Cutler doesn't want to get rid of it.

Tebow trying to work another miracle in Denver.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jan 2, 2011 -> 05:33 PM) It's amazing though how Jacksonville has been able to run the ball with absolutely no passing game whatsoever. The Jags have 193 yards rushing with only 44 yards passing. That just doesn't happen in the NFL. And that's all of 44 yards against the worst pass defense ever ever.

QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Jan 2, 2011 -> 05:32 PM) From what I've seen in 2 games this year, the only major difference between either team is the secondary. ......and the return game.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jan 2, 2011 -> 05:31 PM) I don't think anyone believes that. That's half me giving you guys s***, half for the few posters that do believe there's a big gap between the two.

Addendum: Thank God Trent Edwards is still in the league and playing QB for Jacksonville.

If the Bears are clearly better than the Packers, don't you guys want them in the playoffs?

I see the Bears OL hates Jay again.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jan 2, 2011 -> 05:05 PM) When does GB start gambling on 4-down-series here? Especially if the other option is punting in hester's direction. Might gamble on a fake punt soon if the middle is gonna open like that.
