QUOTE (fathom @ Nov 23, 2010 -> 09:20 PM) Michigan State has not looked good at all this season. And Kemba Walker is the best pg in the country, hands down. Meh, MSU always looks like crap in the non conference part of their schedule.

Illinois just physically dominated NW today. Over 500 yards rushing today and they didn't even try to throw it.

Eddie McGee is the worst football player I have ever seen yet this coaching staff continues to give him reps at WR and QB. I would say I'm shocked he still gets to play but our coach is Ron Zook so I expect stupidity and am surprised when an intelligent move is made.

Illinois gets screwed by incompetent officiating. It seriously is incredible how much college officials suck at their jobs. They got completely screwed on an illegal touch call where the only reason the Illinois player touched out of bounds was because a NW play dove and grabbed his leg to trip him. So instead of having first and goal at the 2 to go up 28-7 the play is offset by the defensive hold and Illinois gets no points.

I'm going to say the same thing I said last year. Larry Drew is an awful basketball player and as long as he is the starting PG at UNC they are overrated. (Which of course means he will have his only good game of the season against Illinois in a couple of weeks, just like basically his only good game last year was against MSU.)

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Nov 19, 2010 -> 05:57 PM) Weber has been screwing around. McCamey sat the last 12 minutes of the half after an amazing first few minutes. Head and Griffey are getting big tick. Illinois is playing very well, they should be blowing them out right now. McCamey had 2 fouls. Also, Mike Davis has been absolutely horrible tonight. I'm ready to just play Richmond at the 4 if Davis is going to sleepwalk. Apparently Davis has no interest in playing professional basketball.

Awful throw by Cutler.

Webb really struggling. They need to give him some help on Wake.

QUOTE (lostfan @ Nov 18, 2010 -> 09:16 PM) I didn't like that throw to Bennett in the back of the end zone by Cutler. I don't like throwing a fade route against Vontae Davis ever. Especially with a WR who isn't particularly big or athletic.

Great run by Cutler.

QUOTE (lostfan @ Nov 18, 2010 -> 09:07 PM) He really should've. There was plenty of time to adjust and Hester got both of his hands on it. Those are just his limitations as a WR though, he has pluses and minuses and that's definitely a minus. He is what he is. Agreed. He obviously has amazing speed and can stretch a D which has a ton of value but his hands are extremely questionable and his route running skills are lacking.

If Hester had hands and knew how to run routes he would be so good.

Webb has been abused the last two weeks. Good thing Williams recovered that fumble so the Bears could still get 3.

QUOTE (kjshoe04 @ Nov 17, 2010 -> 11:27 PM) I'll admit I'm wrong but I've seen enough U of I teams under Weber underperform to never take them too seriously. Yes, the MVC is just really bad this year. Just hoping my birds stay out of the thursday games in st. louis because it won't be as much fun if they don't make it to friday. That simply isn't true. Weber has had one team underperform at Illinois and that was last year. They were a 5 seed two years ago with Meacham and Frazier starting. His first 3 years at Illinois he had top 5 seeds as well. When he has talent he has won big. Illinois lack of results the last few years is directly related to poor recruiting which has now been rectified.

QUOTE (kjshoe04 @ Nov 17, 2010 -> 10:22 PM) Nope, I feel like every year people believe the Big Ten is the best conference when year in and year out the ACC and Big East are always stronger top to bottom. MSU is a top notch program but every other program in the Big Ten is very inconsistent. It's probably a product of living in the midwest around Big Ten fans. The national media before the last two years has done nothing but talk about how the Big 10 is down and all the hype is given to the Big East and the ACC>

When has the Big 10 been overrated recently?

QUOTE (chimpy2121 @ Nov 17, 2010 -> 05:08 PM) Question for the Wolverines and Illini on the board: How are Molk and Pocic looking? Pocic has been very solid at center for Illinois this year.

Butler is not impressive at all.

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Nov 16, 2010 -> 11:57 AM) Ya, the turnovers have lead to a ton of easy points, still the transition d has been pretty ugly even when we've had opportunities to get back. Half court defense continues to impress though. And there has been odd and phantom calls on both sides. That T on the Northeastern dunk a few minutes ago was laughable. And whichever player has position on either side is seemingly the one getting called for the foul, makes no sense. Yeah, I made that post right before that T was called. Not a good job by the officials in this one.

Wow, pretty weak call to send Northeastern to the line with 3 seconds left.

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Nov 16, 2010 -> 11:02 AM) Our talent level is just so sad. And it's just fantastic to see that in his 7th season as a head coach Chris Lowery still doesn't understand how to run a zone offense or have an effective inbounds plays, f***in pathetic. On the positive side(I have to find something) our half court defense actually looked pretty decent that half. Hopefully when we're not completely outclassed like we were against the Illini we can be an above average defensive team this season. Also, if Stephen Bardo(a guy who is usually pretty well educated on SIU, he is from Carbondale after all) brings up Floorburn U again, I'm going to drive down to Carbondale and kick him in the face, that stuff died when the remaining starters from the sweet 16 team departed, and it's embarrassing for this group to be mentioned with it. SIU's half court defense has been very good today. They are just killing themselves with turnovers though which have let Northeastern get into transition in the 2nd half. Also, as an unbiased observer SIU has been on the short end of the stick on the calls in the last 5 minutes.

QUOTE (dasox24 @ Nov 15, 2010 -> 09:18 PM) It's good to see McNabb's extension is really paying early dividends for the Redskins tonight... oh wait. Watching this makes me so pissed the Bears managed to lose to Washington. They suck. He has had a bad year but it isn't his fault his receivers can't catch and his defense is a joke.

QUOTE (IlliniKrush @ Nov 13, 2010 -> 03:32 PM) That's not quite accurate this week. We punted, and we held them, it worked, and it wouldn't have sealed the game with a 1st down anyway. We got the ball back anyway at basically the same spot and didn't do s*** with it. Defense blew. True, and on that next possession they had 1st and 6 and Petrino did a terrible job with his play calls.

QUOTE (IlliniKrush @ Nov 13, 2010 -> 03:14 PM) f***ing pathetic joke of a team. f***ing f*** are you s***ting me. God f***ing damn it. f*** off. Ron Zook is in the top 5 worst coaches in America. Guy is beyond clueless. And two straight weeks your offense is dominating and your defense sucks and you have 4th and 1s that can seal the game and both times you punt? GTFO and grow some balls, put the game in the hands of your unit that is playing well. Also, not using your timeouts once Minny was inside the 5 was inexcusable. You have to give your offense time in that situation.
