i wish i was getting the illinois game...instead, i'm watching christmas vacation....maybe i don't wish i was getting the illinois game.

[snoodmonger]

neither team looks very good. coming down to an exciting end, though.

[snoodmonger]

geez. ugliness.

[wekse]

yay illinois!

[Butterscup1679666578]

Great job there at the end. Take your sweet ass time bringing the ball down, then fumble it away. Once again this team fails to do anything at the end of the game. Garbage.

[Transmogrified Tiger]

How does Darryl Butterfield keep touching the ball on offensive possessions at the end of games? It's staggering.

 

I'd also like to punch Tom O'Neill in the throat.

[Flames24Rulz]

lol @ the "BCS" chants.

 

I can't believe Illinois actually won that game.

The worst ball handler on the team keeps getting the ball. Gotta love it. At least now I know we'll sputter through conference season on our way to another missed postseason. Kansas is going to beat us by 30.

ILLINI! Bragging rights still where they belong. If there was ever a year I thought we would lose to Mizzou, it was this year. With that said, both teams arent very good, at all.

[SouthSideRyan]

Chester Frazier, go away and never come back.

 

Regarding Sampson, I think it's a big deal knowing who the recruits were. Knowing that it's a current (fat toad of a) player and a star recruit as opposed to just a Bud Mackey is a huge deal. And it does contradict Sampson who claimed he was only connected by Senderoff, that there weren't actual 3 way conversations going on.

 

I'm really excited about getting Legion. That leaves 2 schollies left through '10. I'd guess that means just one of Crandall Head or Anthony Johnson, cause we're gonna need a big, otherwise we'll have one non-freshman big for the '11-12 season.

 

8 in a row hahaha.

There is no reason we shouldnt get Head(Get your damn minds right, folks) :D

[tadowdaddy]

I know we played Cigarette state, but Beasley is an animal!

By taking down No. 15 Clemson, my Rebels are now 11-0.

 

* We are ranked 4th in the pre=season Baseball polls too...so while we may not be good in Football, we are good in other areas.

You're right. We suck.

 

Beaten more ranked teams than you have.

[XZero771679666304]

I guess no matter how bad Illinois is, they have at least one sure non-conference win every year.

 

But man, that was an ugly game. This is gonna be a long season for Illini fans.

 

Things might improve a bit if Frazier is benched.

wow 1-0... we'll see how good ole miss is once conference play begins. i'm guessing "not very"

[OleMissCub]

You are basing your "guess" on what? Your knowledge of SEC hoops this year? Or is it just your assumption that since Ole Miss hasn't had a good basketball team in 6 years that they can't have one now?

They did win the SEC West last year. It was at 8-8, but still. I would imagine they'll do just as well this year, as the SEC isn't good at all.

 

However, I don't think Ole Miss is very good. Their only decent win was Clemson. Yes, Clemson is ranked, but their best wins came against Mississippi State (7-5, lost to South Alabama) and Purdue (7-4, lost to Wofford). Clemson wasn't deserving of its ranking, nor of being a marquee win.

This is exactly my point. Being "good", at least to me, is relative. Are we good in the sense that UNC, Kansas, or Memphis is? Hell no. But considering that we have three starting freshman and a head coach in just his second year, I think we are "good" relative to our conference.

[ISUCubsFan]

Iowa State played 3 good halves in Las Vegas this weekend (beat Purdue 83-80 last night) but ran out of gas in the last one and lost 83-68 to Alabama. They finally found their offense, but most of their big scorers have been streaky this year. Jiri Hubalek had 16 points in the first 5:08 of the 2nd half against Purdue and basically disappeared after that. They're probably looking at another 6-10 year in the Big XII at this rate, which is about what I expected coming into the year.

Being good relative to the rest of the SEC is starting to look like being good relative to the rest of the Big 10.

Penn State downs the mighty Toothpaste U. to go 7-4

So we aren't very good in the same way that Illinois isn't very good?

Good one, you got us there. Have you read any of the Illinois fans' posts on the board here this year claiming we are any good? Didn't think so.
