QUOTE (bmags @ Oct 6, 2015 -> 07:38 PM) If ND does get rid of Kelly because he isn't good enough, they should only do it if they have the next coach in mind and a good shot at them. Nubs firing Pellini was fine, but not having anyone better and getting Mike Riley is what makes change for the sake of change usually end up blowing up in your face. Yep, if your coach sucks and you fire him and the next guy isn't better that is one thing (i.e. Illinois football for the last 20 years) but when you fire a guy who is a solid but not spectacular coach you better know what you are doing for his replacement.

QUOTE (fathom @ Oct 7, 2015 -> 09:57 PM) Intimidated before game even started Their offense just hasn't been good enough in the postseason. Only 2 runs in their last 4 post seasons games combined.

Zone being expanded for the Pirates pitching now as well.

QUOTE (AustinIllini @ Oct 7, 2015 -> 08:34 PM) We need automated strike zones. It makes no sense in this generation balls and strikes are called by a guy who can't see the strike zone. Agreed. And Hurdle really should have gotten himself ejected after that last inning. Those calls were absurd.

Wow, this is a f***ing joke.

Lol, that strike 3 pitch to Mercer wasn't anywhere close to being a strike.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Oct 7, 2015 -> 07:56 PM) Some of their best hitters are lefty (or at least better as lefties, like Fowler). So yeah, Liriano would have made a lot of sense. But you don't sit your #1 starter with a 2.6 ERA and 2.66 FIP for a one game playoff. Cole was also great during the regular season against the Cubs. He is choking tonight but hard to see that coming.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Oct 7, 2015 -> 07:52 PM) This game feels over already. Cole has been awful. No command of his stuff at all tonight.

That is probably ball game. Horrible pitch by Cole.

Arrieta's zone has definitely been larger than Cole's zone so far.

Unbelievable missed call by the refs on that Calvin Johnson. You can't intentionally bat the ball through the endzone so the Lions should have still had the ball.

QUOTE (fathom @ Oct 5, 2015 -> 06:18 PM) He could name his job if he went back to college. I'm assuming he means that NFL teams may stay away from college coaches rather than colleges will stay away from Chip Kelly.

QUOTE (fathom @ Oct 4, 2015 -> 03:15 PM) Yep, they also ran the ball way too much. Heck of a kick by Gould The third down play on their last drive was pathetic. The Bears were selling out on the run and that would have been a great chance to attack and go for the TD. With how good modern kickers are and how bad the Raiders' defense is playing for a FG and a 1 pt lead is laughably stupid.

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Oct 4, 2015 -> 03:13 PM) Clausen is just terrible. Cutler shows flashes here and there but he'll make bonehead decisions once in a while. Sadly, this was one of his "shows flashes" drives. It helps that the Raiders' defense is f***ing horrible.

And that is why Raiders playing for a FG on prior drive was so dumb. Coaches really don't understand game strategy.

I really hope Gould misses this.

QUOTE (bmags @ Oct 4, 2015 -> 03:00 PM) I don't know if I want us to win. You shouldn't want the Bears to win this game. It does absolutely nothing for the franchise to win games right now.

Latavius Murray doing his best to give the game to the Bears. Wow has he been f***ing pathetic.

QUOTE (fathom @ Oct 3, 2015 -> 10:45 PM) Didn't like a long FG into the wind?? That and the 3rd down play call was laughably bad. Delayed QB run on 3rd and 1? GTFO.

f***ing pathetic by Clemson. It never ceases to amaze me how stupid coaches are. It really is mind blowing.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Oct 3, 2015 -> 10:31 PM) Notre Dame just pulled a Clemson @ Clemson. But still 2 minutes left for Clemson to return the favor Clemson's coaches deserve a loss with how awful and conservative their play calling has been in the 4th quarter.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Oct 3, 2015 -> 06:49 PM) Mike Ripley should be fired after 1 year, ha. He's terrible. I didn't have a huge issue with Nebraska firing Pelini but if you are going to fire a good but not great coach you better have someone a hell of a lot better in mind than Mike Riley.

Hell yes!!! Great drive and thank you to Nebraska for the ridiculously stupid 3rd down play call.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Oct 3, 2015 -> 05:12 PM) Illinois fan complaining about the refs...shocker. Seriously though, yeah, miss counting the downs resulting n automatic Illinois turnover is legit the worst call I've seen. The thing is I think it was actually 4th and inches. Either that or Illinois had to go 11 yards for a first down and chains where in the wrong spot and Illinois really got the first down so either way the refs completely f***ed up. That crew shouldn't be allowed to work another game this year.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Oct 3, 2015 -> 05:13 PM) Is OSU really the #1 team? I have only seen them briefly in a few games, but they don't looks so great to me. I haven't been very impressed by anyone this year.
