QUOTE (Middle Buffalo @ Nov 26, 2017 -> 08:30 AM) Illinois has to be tanking so they can get higher draft choices, right? What people forget when they talk about Illinois football is that this is a program that is post scandal. If it weren't for the horror at Baylor, Illinois would have been the in scandal. When Beckman took over from Zook, he had some good talent. Beckman made players play through injuries and destroyed the program. Lovie Smith may not be a great college coach, but he should get all the time he needs. No team has success with a O-Line of Freshmen in the B1G.

Good to see Brian Kelly did just enough to allow him to continue underachieve as the coach of Notre Dame.

QUOTE (bmags @ Nov 21, 2017 -> 02:21 PM) J4L is mostly right. Austin's still trying to land one. Based on your track record, I should be an admin. You don't like the reality that Cuonzo is a bad coach. Sorry dude. Nothing I can do for you. Feel bad for the Mizzou faithful, but they bet on the Porter train and it looks like they lost.

QUOTE (Quin @ Nov 21, 2017 -> 02:18 PM) Guys, Austin is full of hotter takes than J4L we know this There's nothing hot about that take. Cuonzo is a known quantity. He's basketball Ron Zook.

QUOTE (whitesoxfan99 @ Nov 21, 2017 -> 01:39 PM) Honestly, if he is a lottery pick he has to go pro still. There is way too much risk to going back to Missouri coming off a serious back injury if he is still going to be picked high. Right. I can't imagine another year under a third rate coach is going to help his draft stock at all.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Nov 21, 2017 -> 01:37 PM) The problem is until he plays a real schedule you won't know. Working out isn't going to answer those questions the same way a college basketball season will. That matters next to nothing, honestly. The injury is everything. He wouldn't even be in college if he were allowed to just go pro.

QUOTE (Quin @ Nov 21, 2017 -> 01:29 PM) f***. We we're finally gonna be good for the first time since my freshman year. My guess is he stays a year now. Depends on how the rest of the country plays. If he's still a lottery pick, he should go.

Two disks. I genuinely feel bad for mags

The BMW iDrive and the Audi current interface is touch screen free and it works great. So much better than pushing on a non-haptic feedback screen.

QUOTE (bmags @ Nov 16, 2017 -> 07:04 PM) I know no one is gonna shed a tear for me but game no. 3 of no Porter Jr. No more clear information than a week ago. When you only get 30 or so games with him ... It's pretty crazy how Porter centered that team is. Reminds me of the Eric Gordon Indiana teams.

Man, watching Mike and Mike for the last time is kind of crazy. I have been watching these guys since I was about 14. Moving to college, first internship, first job, moving out of state. Surprisingly emotional. In case you missed it, Greenberg's new show is called "Get Up" and premieres 4/2/2018. Golic and Wingo premieres the week after Thanksgiving.

As a big comic movie fan, it's so disconcerting that DC can't put this together. So much bad in this universe.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Nov 13, 2017 -> 08:21 PM) I mean, if someone is doing that, you probably have more to fear than them accessing your phone. And plus, by the time you get the phone, build a face model, the phone will probably have been inactive long enough that a passcode will be required to open it.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Nov 10, 2017 -> 08:41 AM) Motherf***ing screw in my tire. And I have apparently hard to find tires, Pirelli Verdes. f*** Got a screw in my A4 quattro stock Pirellis a month after buying it. Discount Tire tried to make me buy four new tires. Fat chance.

This is special

That should absolutely be Kaepernick's job. But yeah, injuries are definitely ruining the NFL this year.

QUOTE (BlackSox13 @ Nov 2, 2017 -> 02:47 AM) Just my opinion but if I were the cubs I'd used Schwarber to try a nab a younger pitcher with team control and keep Happ. Then do the Heyward for Samardzija swap if SF is truly interested in Heyward. That said, I hope the cubs do neither of those. Me, too. Schwarber is a liability in the National League. That being said, I don't really want to trade prospects for him and fill the DH spot.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Nov 1, 2017 -> 11:25 PM) Given the last 3 World Series champions, you have to be positive as a Sox fan. Yeah man, and there are certainly really good signs.

Verlander wins a World Series... ...but not for the Tigers... LOVE

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Nov 1, 2017 -> 11:06 PM) Happy for the Astros, they did it the right way. Good drafting, good scouting, and timely trades. Looking forward to the Sox doing the same +40

Can't say enough how happy I am we're rebuilding.

QUOTE (flavum @ Nov 1, 2017 -> 10:40 PM) Hey SI, how about a Sox champions in 2020 cover? Yes, please

Here's the "Astros save Houston from flood" narrative

QUOTE (Middle Buffalo @ Nov 1, 2017 -> 10:12 PM) I'm pulling for Houston. I pretty much always root for the team that hasnt won (with one notable exception). Dodgers fans (and LA fans) have had enough sporting success. That's my logic as well.

Well, regardless, grab the drink of your choice and cheers to the last day of the Cubs being reigning World Series champions
