Definitely not a catch. Damn.

Some definite luck involved with Detroit missing some easy plays but finally a solid effort from the Bears D today.

I liked going for it on 4th there, didn't like running it right at the center of Detroit's dline though.

It is really hard to see Alabama or FSU losing with their remaining schedules.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Nov 9, 2013 -> 08:54 PM) Not sure I agree with you guys, but LSU is going to win this game easily unless they continue to put the ball on the turf. Or they end up getting completely dominated physically.

QUOTE (He_Gawn @ Nov 9, 2013 -> 06:10 PM) They get an average defense they can be... The offense is disgusting and loses one starter... That's the problem though. This Illinois offense is average at absolute best and they have looked like world beaters today. They made a Michigan offense that is really pedestrian look like Baylor against a sisters of the poor school. I'm actually happy that IU is pulling away now, going 0-8 and forcing Thomas to have no choice but to fire Beckman is best possible scenario for Illinois at this point.

So yeah, about IU being a top 25 team next year...

These IU and Illinois defenses are jokes. Both would struggle to stop a good high school team.

I would have fired Beckman on the spot for punting on 4th and 3 from IU's 33. Any coach who punts in that situation is a f***ing idiot.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Nov 9, 2013 -> 11:43 AM) True. I'm just saying there's nothing to draw from that one game. Love him or hate him, Weber is a flawed coached who has had some awesome successes as a basketball coach. It isn't just one game. It is a terrible loss where immediately throws his older players under the boss and follows two years of terrible recruiting and their best player transferring because he didn't want to play for Weber.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Nov 8, 2013 -> 11:34 PM) Kansas State lost at home to Northern Colorado. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! It is insane how much money Bruce Weber is going to end up making as a high major basketball coach and ruin basketball programs. He is recruiting really poorly to KSU so just a matter of time before it doesn't work out there. I wonder what his buyout situation is at KSU. No way he gets fired this year but I could see him getting fired next year if they miss the tourney this year and next and he would still have 2 or 3 years left on his deal. Could be another situation where he is getting paid for 2 years not to coach basketball for a school.

Every time I watch James Harden play it makes me sad as a basketball fan that we didn't get to see 10 years of Westbrook, Harden and Durant teaming up. They legitimately could have had a 90s Bulls type run.

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Nov 8, 2013 -> 12:01 AM) Might as well get the onside kick. Pretty damn close. Everyone should start doing onside kicks like that.

Oregon v. Stanford not over yet.

Star Wars VII to be released on December 18, 2015.

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Nov 7, 2013 -> 12:55 PM) That "trade" will come in the form of Derrick Rose and Jo to be completely honest. Dunleavy will also start hitting shot at some point. I'm frustrated but not worried at all If Noah is ever 100% healthy that is.

QUOTE (Brian @ Nov 7, 2013 -> 12:31 PM) If he chooses Illinois, Illini Nation better show up to that Chicago Elite Classic and show some love. I'm already planning on heading to that if Cliff picks Illinois. Between Cliff, DJ Williams (plus Coupet and Norvell who Illinois will have a great shot at if they want them), and Charles Matthews it will be a pretty fun event for Illinois fans. Plus, it will actually be fun to see Okafor, Ulis and the out of state kids as well.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Nov 6, 2013 -> 11:17 AM) I've got it on DVR. If I hadn't have come this far, I would have been done with the show. Same. I stopped truly enjoying the show about 2 years ago but I can put up with 20 minutes a week to see how it ends since I don't watch a ton of TV shows anyways.

QUOTE (Brian @ Nov 5, 2013 -> 12:02 PM) But I was told KU had no connection to Cliff!! Charles Mathews is a stud. He and Brunson are my favorite juniors in Illinois. I'd be surprised if Matthews doesn't up an Illini. Feel really good about our chances there.

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Nov 5, 2013 -> 09:53 AM) Groce on a roll with 3 top 50 kids in less than 2 months. Williams is the first Simeon kid to EVER commit before his senior season. That is so huge for future recruiting at the best school in the state. I also love this: http://www.news-gazette.com/sports/illini-...s-illinois.html That isn't entirely true. Nunn actually committed to Texas A&M before his senior year. Of course he didn't end up there but still.

Nice win. Holy crap is Seneca Wallace is awful. So nice to actually have a competent backup for a change.

Well thank you for Green Bay for not challenging that.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Nov 4, 2013 -> 09:36 PM) This shows how much better the offensive coaching is with this staff. Having a legitimate NFL offensive line helps as well.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Nov 4, 2013 -> 09:13 PM) Conte is awful. Just absolutely terrible. And the rookie linebackers aren't close to being ready to play. They are almost never in the right position.

This defense is so f***ing terrible and lol at Conte. That guy is a joke.
