QUOTE (Heads22 @ Jan 3, 2015 -> 03:20 PM) He'd have to sit out an extra year to transfer to Iowa State Well Weber has apparently decided its a good idea to sit out his best player so definitely would have been worth it.

Marcus Foster should have transferred from KSU to play for a real coach after his freshman year.

Unbelievable the lack of urgency by Alabama on that drive. What a win by OSU.

Kiffin's play calling is brutal today. No idea why he isn't pounding the ball with Henry.

I'm also confused by Bama's play calling on offense in this one. They've been able to run to the left side at will but rather than making OSU stop that they keep going away from it.

I can't believe Eddie Jackson is one of Bama's best defensive backs. He gets torched constantly.

Epic choke by Baylor. They were clearly the better team in that game but are probably going to lose.

QUOTE (bmags @ Dec 31, 2014 -> 11:10 AM) I'm not sure I could handle that. I don't want that person to do anything but fail. Same. I would have a really hard time rooting for the Bears if Winston was on the roster.

QUOTE (fathom @ Dec 30, 2014 -> 06:44 PM) I'm pretty sure I've made this same post the last two years, but Groce has always been known as a good recruiter and good tournament coach. However, his weakness has always been in-game coaching. In a very weak Big 10 this year, if he can't make the tournament, he should be on the hot seat next year. This appears to definitely be true and while recruiting is going very well, it isn't going so well where Groce shouldn't have a very hot seat if things don't turn around quickly.

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Dec 30, 2014 -> 06:21 PM) Oh, and next year this team isn't much better. It's probably worse. You lose 4 of your top 6 players and replace them with a guard playing PG without much offensive game, 2 back-up mid-major level centers, and some freshman. You have to hope and pray Hill continues to develop into a super star, Nunn grows into an all-Big Ten caliber guy every game, Black can stay on the floor and out of foul trouble and maybe JCL gives you some shooting off the bench. Abrams will be back next year and that is an improvement over Starks as long as Tracy is healthy. Losing Egwu will hurt defensively but Paul will almost certainly be better offensively and on the glass. Losing Rice will hurt quite a bit but the hope there is that JCL is an impact freshman, Nunn develops and Cosby remembers how to play basketball so you will have plenty of scoring on the wing.

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Dec 30, 2014 -> 05:08 PM) I'm starting the exploratory committee for Groce's replacement. 2.5 seasons now of complete choke jobs in big games. It's not like 2 minutes with a bucket, it's 6, 7, 8. It's pathetic. Yep. He is recruiting well but not well enough to justify keeping him if the results on the court don't improve drastically. There is no excuse for this team not to be playing better basketball.

I love that a garbage freshmen who hasn't hit a shot all year is on fire.

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Dec 29, 2014 -> 03:09 PM) Even if they lost with Clausen, so long as Clausen was putting up points and being competitive and not throwing the ball away - pretty much what he was doing in his lone start - then Trestman and Emery could say, he look, the system works, we just need a quality QB behind it. Except for you know, actually scoring points are moving the ball because the Bears did neither with Clausen under center (to be fair to Clausen he actually played ok in that game though).

Kansas is not impressive at all this year.

The Lions are sadly doing everything possible to keep the Bears in this one. Bears are lucky not to be down 3 scores and now have a chance to tie it up.

QUOTE (Chilihead90 @ Dec 21, 2014 -> 02:09 PM) And he's thrown about 3 or 4 balls that have hit the receivers in the palms and they've dropped it. WR's are doing him no favors. Jeffery has two and Bennett had one that wouldn't have mattered since he wasn't gaining anything on the first play of the game. Wilson's wasn't really a drop but it was a play that could be made.

QUOTE (Jake @ Dec 21, 2014 -> 01:58 PM) Clausen actually looks really good. He's already thrown a couple passes that could have been picked and has completed one pass more than like 5 yards down the field.

I really hope things go off the rails early to see how bad things get.

Amazing shot by Rice to end it. Terrible performance by Illinois but at least they won. Biggest issues remain Cosby mysteriously forgetting how to shoot and really bad shot selection. When they don't settle for bad shots they efficient offensively but every guy except for basically Nunn just take so many bad shots. That is a coaching issue at this point, I like that Groce gives guys the green light and has them playing with confidence but there is a happy medium between Weber ball crushing players souls and this.

Did they even scout Missouri or are the players just a bunch of f***ing morons? Williams can't dribble at all with his right hand and yet Illinois continues to let him go left every time he touches the ball.

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Dec 17, 2014 -> 01:05 PM) He seems like big bust potential to me. Didn't he just have an 0-10 game? In high school for a good player that's unheard of. Meh. It is a game they won by like 80 and he has been great against better competition.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Dec 15, 2014 -> 09:57 PM) Eighth time bears have gone into the half with seven or less points this year including four shutouts. Trestman is an offensive genius.

The best thing that can happen to the Bears franchise is another embarrassing blowout. I hope the Saints crush the Bears tonight.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Dec 15, 2014 -> 09:01 PM) Lol, the Bears are hilariously bad Fixed

Groce clearly isn't Bo Ryan. Decent coach but he needs to have great talent to win big. He is upgrading the talent but it isn't quite there yet and he isn't a guy that can win big without it. This team should still be good this year but if Cosby and Starks are going to play like this the team is doing nothing. There are 7 players on this team that should be getting pt and 2 of them are proven shooters who can't make shots right now. Not good but Groce needs to stop being so set on rotations and let guys stay out there if they are making plays. Cosby has been awful but he finally made a 3 tonight and came out right after that. Let him stay in for a bit and see if you can get him going. We aren't winning a anything if he doesn't start playing like he did at Seton Hall anyways.
