College Football - Week of 10/25

[Magnetic Curses]

and there's the game. congrats illini, you just let a bad bad team walk all over you.

 

i still can't figure out how this wisco defense has stopped us, they haven't stopped anyone.

We are not very consistant this year. One week we look awesome. The next we blow.

 

Two Words: Ronald Zook

I sitll like the level of talent he is bringing in. Let him learn to coach on the fly.

 

 

Cant really argue with you on that, but you can't play down to your competition every week. The Illinois talent level is so much higher than Wisconsin right now. The defense sucks, special teams suck, playcalling sucks. At some point you have to say enough is enough.

 

the atheltic ability and physiques on the illinois players make the wisco players look like d-3 jv, it's ridiculous that they aren't destroying them. we need a better coach, but more likely, we just need zook to surround himself with better defensive coaches.

sigh. we have to beat KSU and win @ NU to be bowl eligible. Prolly don't deserve a bowl anyway.

 

huh? kansas is 5-3 after this loss, they only need one more win to be bowl eligible. they should beat ik-state.

Every time I hear people on here complaining about Illinois on here I always check on the game expecting them to be down by a decent amount, but every time its either a 3 or 7 point deficit.

[RedFlash]

It's halftime. I'm about to get a pizza. It should take me about 15 minutes. I wouldn't be surprised if OU was up to 69 when I got back.

 

And KSU up to 42-49 points.

 

Forget defense in this game, OU, just outslug 'em.

[Magnetic Curses]

illinois is a bad team too then...

 

they aren't a bad team, we all just can't be frontrunners, picking and choosing who we root for.

It's more the way we are playing though.

agreed the co-coordinators has to go. and our offensice playcalling is way too predictable

I think it's a legit concern for snood though. They SHOULD beat KSU and Nebraska, but KSU is always a tough game and winning on the road is always tough. They'll lose to Texas and hopefully us.

It's Wisconsin, they're not good this year.

 

I guarantee you'd be complaining if Missouri were losing to a team like Wisconsin by 3 with 6 minutes left.

I understand. I haven't been watching (didn't even know it was on here), I'm just always expecting a lot worse than it really is when I check on them.

I'm not saying you don't have reason to complain. Again, like I just said in my last post, I haven't been watching so I don't know how you've been playing. I was just pointing out that I'm always expecting it to be a lot worse than it is.

[Magnetic Curses]

yeah, not one good thing ever goes our way all day. not one good thing, but the cub fan in me is so used to it so i guess it's okay.

Seconded....

 

All in favour?

[Magnetic Curses]

we have single handedly saved brett bielema's career today, though.

 

seriously, i'm going to add up the collective records of my teams since i was born and see where i come out.

[Derwood]

every time a decent team loses to a bad one in the Big 10 I cringe....just adds more fuel to the "PSU hasn't beaten anyone good" fire

I forgot it's not longer a rule you have to have 6 wins and be above .500. Still, six wins isn't guaranteed at this point. As overrated as Mizzou was, they're still much better than us. Winning at Nebraska will be tough if we can't stop anyone. KSU...rivalry game.

maybe he's French-Canadian or Welsh

[Outshined_One]

Not kicking the FG here is a poor decision.

[illiniguy]

What the hell is going on? You just came from a timeout, why the confusion on the play call?

[illiniguy]

A clear pass inteference their against Benn.
