    BTW: Bad form, Northwestern...

    They're probably the 17th best team in the B1G. Basically the equivalent of East Carolina as a team.

    Farewell to Lee Corso, effectively the last of the earnest football commentators for college. It was time, though, he looked pretty rough out there today. Now we move forward to the douchbro era, highlighted by Dave Portnoy and Pat McAfee.

    In a mostly academic 52-3 win for the Illini over Western Illinois, Hank Beatty managed to break D1's longest return TD drought (first return TD since 2013), as well as break Red Grange's 102 year old return yards record for the program.

    6 times. 3 in May, 3 in June. Divisional opponents play each other 13 times.

    He was a cut candidate from the start of training, and a healthy scratch several times last season in a year they had a terrible DL. Not really a surprise.

    For funsies, I ran 10000 simulations for the end of the season based on current pythagorean estimates. Here was the Cubs' record distribution: 5% - 100+ wins 20% - 98+ wins 50% - 96+ wins 75% - 94+ wins 90% - 92+ wins Brewers' record distribution assuming they are August good: 40% - 100+ wins 55% - 99+ wins 75% - 97+ wins 90% - 95+ wins 99% - 92+ wins If the Brewers somehow revert back to their May form: 4% - 100+ wins 18% - 98+ wins 40% - 96+ wins 70% - 94+ wins 90% - 92+ wins So while it would help the Cubs out (obviously) if the Brewers turned back into a pumpkin, it seems like the Cubs target number to try to win the division is 100 games. For reference, the Cubs beat out the current Brewers in 1,989 simulations (19.9%). The Cubs beat out the pumpkin Brewers in 5,969 simulations (59.7).

    I would say that in order for the Cubs to win the division and get the 1 overall seed, they would need to finish 24-7. Difficult, but not impossible.

    Despite the near constant cynicism of the game thread crowd, the Cubs have won 6 of 7 and cut the division deficit near in half in a week.

    Bah, just the 12 for now.

    Let's go Cubs, 2 more runs and it's the highest total for the day.

    Picked a good night for this take.

    Go home, Horizon League, you're drunk.

    Before anyone reads too much into today's result, keep in mind the Bears throttled the Bills in preseason last year also, 33-6.

    Took a shot on the 2nd half kickoff return. Didn't seem too concerning, just out because it's preseason.

    Never a good sign when you do a jump stop on grass and one of your legs doesn't stop.

    The rare "2 WR in the same spot but both were open by 10 yards" play. I'm sure one of the WRs ran the wrong route, but it worked out anyway.
  22. bukie
    The Bears offense is doing things I see other NFL teams do regularly, getting open receivers, opening up rushing lanes, giving the QB time to go through reads. So, this is what an NFL offense looks like...

    If Bagent didn't have the throwing arm of my 7yo, he'd be a really viable starting qb option.

    Caleb Williams final stats, 6 for 10, 107 yards and a TD throw with 2 3rd down conversi9ns and a 3rd that Odunze couldn't hang on to. Other incompletions were a purposeful throw at receivers feet from a sniffed out screen, a knee high 20 yard throw to avoid a sack, and one slightly behind the receiver on the first play of the 2nd series. Overall, wildly successful.

    It is, but someone has to call for it. There was some confusion between that and the Bills challenging the catch.
