    That angle made the call look even worse. Wright got called for a grazing shoulder to the chest.
  2. Irrelevant Dude
    Watching that replay, what exactly was the unnecessary roughness?
  3. Irrelevant Dude
    Nice Prevent.

    Forget that. Let Hester call plays. I want to see some formations with 10 men on the line or 8 in the backfield. We need an innovator!

    Get off the bus running, and get back on the bus to go home for the playoffs.

    Lovie would be a head coach again. Besides, I think his ego is much too big to take a coordinator job.
  7. Irrelevant Dude
    Even with Lovie potentially going home? the bears have a puncher's chance if they get in The same puncher's chance that a lightweight has against a heavyweight.
  8. Irrelevant Dude
    Dick Stockton's description of Lovie Smith couldn't be any further from my perception. Just because he is generally soft-spoken doesn't make him a "class act". He is one of the most arrogant coaches I have seen.

    There is no such thing as a healthy Knox anymore.

    Get out of the way you morons!

    Fastest review ever.
  12. Irrelevant Dude
    Has that ever really been in question?
  13. Irrelevant Dude
    This is awful, awful football.
  14. Irrelevant Dude
    Go away Hester.

    That is quite a misleading statement... "The Bears have to win this game or face elimination." How about just saying the Bears are eliminated from the playoffs if they lose?

    I would prefer it over Villanueva but I like the Feldman deal more than the Liriano deal. Same here. I don't like Villanueva at all and think Liriano has a higher upside. The difference of course being that Villanueva was apparently willing to accept being a swingman and/or bullpen arm. Unless you like Liriano better than Feldman or Baker, there wasn't a guaranteed rotation slot to offer him. That may be true, but Villanueva is a very expensive swingman.

    If you only lost $1600 last year, I would say you did fairly well. Are there any tax benefits to be gained by claiming a loss on ticket sales? Is there any way to write those losses off? I'm sure that is a majority of people right now, but if the Cubs are good in 2 years tickets could quickly become a money-making proposition again. Remember how few people were giving up their tickets just a few short years ago? If the Cubs become a consistent contender, someone buried 50,000+ spots deep on the waiting list may have to wait many years before getting the chance to buy tickets.

    I got the email as well, but I'm still not sure about making a solo financial commitment and I am weighing my options. Would anyone here be interested in going in on tickets together? We could talk about specifics and get something written up to ensure that you are guaranteed a partial ownership of the tickets going forward. Although the Cubs only recognize 1 owner, we could certainly write something up that details what each person is entitled to, even if we have to get a lawyer involved to formalize it. If anyone might be interest in that sort of arrangement, send me a PM and we can talk about it.

    It hasn't always been pretty, but I am satisfied that Illinois has avoided the "bad resume" loss in the early part of the season. From here on out, there is nobody they could lose to who would be viewed as a complete disaster by the tournament committee. I still think they will have some struggles in the Big 10 schedule, but they have given themselves enough of a cushion to allow for some tough stretches in the Big 10 and still get a decent seed in the tournament.

    For at least 29 of those minutes, nobody even knows he is on the floor.

    Shades of Bruce Weber on that last possession.

    I'm not old enouh to know. But wasn't Marcus like 6'8"? Yes, but Bertrand is 6'5-6'6", so not a huge difference. I'm not quite sure what it is about him, but I have had the thought several times.
  24. Irrelevant Dude
    Does Bertrand remind anyone else of Marcus Liberty?
  25. Irrelevant Dude
    This game should be a blowout if not for turnovers. We have a small sample size of away games, but so far Illinois has played much better on the road or on neutral courts. That is the complete opposite of any Illinois team I can remember.
