QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Nov 10, 2015 -> 11:57 AM) Seriously. Barring beating OSU this weekend he should not even be in the conversation. I feel like it is entirely the fear of hiring the next Beckman that is really the only reason people are pro-Cubit. While I don't have high expectations for Illinois football I certainly want to do better than a guy who was barely over .500 in the MAC and whose upside at Illinois is very limited. Give me Dino Babers who while he may have a lower floor than Cubit has a much higher ceiling (and his Bowling Green team is performing much better than any of Cubit's teams at Western Michigan), runs an exciting offense and also finally gives Illinois its first black head coach for football or men's basketball.

So I've seen some push for Illinois to hire Cubit as the head coach after this season. I just don't get it. You could certainly do worse (i.e. Tim Beckman) but you could do so much better than a 62 year old coach who got fired at Western Michigan.

So can any Missouri fans/students/graduates fill us in on why a number of their black athletes are saying they won't play until the university's president is fired?

QUOTE (OmarComing25 @ Nov 7, 2015 -> 11:07 PM) Stop playing crappy teams close or you're going to get burned, I don't feel bad for MSU at all. And Bama is just too good, this is why I had no issue with them at #4. Disagree on the first part but agree on the second part. I never understand why people try to discount s***ty officiating in those types of situations. Bottom line is that while MSU should have played better they were very very likely to win that game if that play is called correctly and it was clearly the incorrect call and also not even a difficult call. That type of s***ty officiating should not be excused.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Nov 7, 2015 -> 10:50 PM) MSU got screwed on that call but they also gave up back to back 30+ yard wide open catches before that. That was just as dreadful. Even with those two plays MSU is in terrific shape to win if that play is called correctly. Nebraska would have been 3rd and 15 from the 35 yard line with only 20 seconds left and no timeouts. Completely unacceptable. Nothing is worse than an official deciding a game.

What a bulls*** way for MSU to lose their undefeated season. They aren't that great but that is hores***. That official shouldn't have a job on Monday as that is just an inexcusable call to miss and it wasn't even a difficult judgment call.

QUOTE (fathom @ Nov 7, 2015 -> 10:40 PM) Just about the worst call I have ever seen. Guy was probably 3 yards out of bounds for ten yards And clearly wasn't forced out. MSU has a chance after a laughably stupid kickoff by Nebraska though.

QUOTE (whitesoxfan99 @ Nov 7, 2015 -> 10:37 PM) Apparently this call is reviewable. Should be overturned. Lol, so not reviewable (which is what I thought until the ref indicated otherwise).

QUOTE (whitesoxfan99 @ Nov 7, 2015 -> 10:36 PM) Wow, an absolutely atrocious call against MSU and Mike Riley gets a huge win. Apparently this call is reviewable. Should be overturned.

Wow, an absolutely atrocious call against MSU and Mike Riley gets a huge win.

ESPN has spent the entire night tonight against MSU making excuses for Riley.

Cardale Jones made an unbelievably awful decision returning to OSU.

Lol that Mike Riley lost to this garbage Purdue team.

I wish injury on Greg Hardy, Jerry Jones is a complete piece of s*** for employing him and the NFL should be ashamed for allowing him in the league.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Nov 4, 2015 -> 04:54 PM) New system / new coach...I don't expect this to be effortless. We also have the worst starting PG in the league right now. Rose has been horrific but that doesn't mean he'll stay that way (I hope not). He hasn't been good since the 2011-2012 season. While a lot of that is injury related we haven't seen a good Derrick Rose for 3 1/2 years. I'll believe he can actually be good again when I see it.

I still really wish the Sox would have traded him 2 years ago when his value was high.

Do coaches not understand basic math? Northern Illinois just scored a TD that put them up 4 with 1:59 to go in the game. Rather than go for 2 put them up 6 and require Toledo to make the extra point to win they instead kick the extra point. Now obviously it is unlikely that if Toledo gets a TD they miss the extra point but it does happen so why not make them kick it.

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Nov 3, 2015 -> 02:22 PM) Oh yeah, for sure. Also, what was the point of his relationship with the cap girl? What did that add to the movie other than some small conversations to fill out the day? To add some additional personal life drama for Costner's character I guess. It was just an absolutely horrible movie all around.

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Nov 3, 2015 -> 02:11 PM) Caught up on some movies this weekend: John Wick. Highly enjoyable. I heard about a drinking game where you drink every time he shoots someone in the head.....I think you'd die if you played all the way through. Draft Day. Too boring for me. And also incredibly stupid. No franchise, not even the Browns, wait until hours before the draft to do ANY homework on a potential pick. The trades in that movie were also laughably unrealistic.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Nov 3, 2015 -> 12:01 AM) It was a bad call but I don't think it would have changed the outcome Not with the Colts only getting a FG but it gave the Colts a significantly better chance at getting a TD than they would have had otherwise.

Bad missed call by the refs saying that Whalen got out of bounds when he clearly didn't.

QUOTE (dasox24 @ Nov 2, 2015 -> 11:12 PM) For sure. I keep hearing people say "Oh man, is this the end of Luck?" or "Luck is regressing before our very eyes." I don't buy that at all. His OL is as bad as I've seen, and that's saying something coming from a Bears fan. And he's clearly hurt. Any QB playing with multiple broken ribs is going to have a difficult time being effective. I respect him for toughing it out. But it might be best for him to sit and get healthy. And as I'm typing this... Luck quickly drives down the field and throws a TD pass. We are seeing him miss throws badly that he routinely made last year. Even his TD pass just now wasn't a good throw at all. Something is wrong with him physically and it doesn't help that his offensive line is a joke and their WRs haven't been getting separation this year.

Watching Andrew Luck throw the ball this year there is no way he is healthy.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Nov 2, 2015 -> 09:01 PM) His O Line is terrible and they said he has been playing with multiple broken ribs since week 3 This. Plus their receivers haven't been getting open when I've watched them play this year.

Halo 5 is a huge disappointment. The maps for multiplayer are f***ing garbage and the campaign was incredibly repetitive.
