  1. Use them as assets for future trades, mostly. Right now they're effectively tanking and clearing salary so they can get a high draft pick in next year's draft and add a couple actual big money stars to the team rather than try to ride it out with 10 good players, which hasn't worked now for the 10th year in a row. Took them too long to realize that the Vuc-Demar-LaVine "big 3" wasn't actually big enough, and none of the assets they had could net them a first round pick, so the path forward is to stockpile lower end picks and use them in future trades.
  2. Based on Izzo's response after the game, he's more likely to re-sign Mady Sissoko and reinstate his eligibility for Saturday's game than suspend Fears. In his post-game he was asked about Fears and responded that he only saw Fears get shoved on the play and if he wasn't targeted and baited, it would have amounted to nothing, and that it's somehow Michigan's fault that Fears has to be extra careful.
  3. Big picture is they're giving up on this year to stock picks and cap space to actually try something different, which is frankly a welcome change. Who knows how well it'll work.
  4. Current Bulls roster is Oops, all guards.
  5. Nice to see Illinois was able to get another Underwood special today.
  6. Basically think Derons junior year as an 18yo freshman.
  7. The irony in saying this earnestly when the Cubs have made the playoffs 6 times the last 11 years, including a World Series championship and 2 other NLCS appearances.
  8. I think the Bulls just got involved in a Kings-Cavs trade where they traded away nothing, took on Dario Saric with their available cap space to make that trade work money wise, and received two picks for their efforts. So the Bulls got Dario Saric and two picks for nothing. The NBA, everybody!
  9. It's like Mitch Trubisky making the Pro Bowl.
  10. No other RB in the league moves as laterally as Swift.
  11. This guy gets it.
  12. Sam Darnold becomes the first QB from the 2018 class to reach the Super Bowl, as everyone expected. Look up what other QBs were drafted in 2018 to understand the absurdity.
  13. Yeah, I think the team won that will make next week a better game, because that Denver team against either NFC team would lose by 30.
  14. I'm watching this AFC champ game thinking to myself if DJ just runs the right route in OT the Bears are the second best team in this championship week.
  15. As soon as Rose's knee buckled, the whole franchise just kind of up and quit trying to put together a championship level team.
  16. Which is odd for a Steelers franchise that has been fine for about 15 years and wanted to change things up.
  17. Reality is not a liberal echo chamber. Get out of your right wing bubble and join reality, or accept that people will view you as the ignorant fool you are, and at best you'll be ignored and at worst you'll have to cry back to your right wing echo chambers to feel like real men again.
  18. Illinois' adjusted offensive rating on KenPom is up to 130.7. That is the highest offensive rating of any team in the KenPom era (dating back to 1998).
  19. I think that's the most points ever scored by a visiting player at Mackey Arena.
  20. Man, when you actually learn what law is, are you going to be in for a surprise.
  21. I mean, they literally have 3 B1G championships under Underwood. They beat Michigan on the road when Ayo went down to win the conference 4 years ago, they beat Michigan and Purdue back to back to end last season when things looked like they were falling apart, they won the B1G tournament 2 years ago. Even the disaster team 3 years ago beat top 10 UCLA and Texas during the year. I'm particularly annoyed by stupidity this morning, and I'm all out of patience for meathead nonsense right now.
  22. What a garbled mess of nonsense.
  23. Wasn't that the "I'm the best drunk driver" guy?
