    They sent out a notice a couple weeks ago that they were dropping it.

    Freshman guards man. Same problem Illinois is having. Tired legs, bad decisions, amped up pressure are all having a huge effect on those guys. The biggest thing I've notice in particular is Epps from Illinois can't get a 3 to drop to save his life at this point and he shot very well early in the season.

    And here's the disconnect. I called the Orlovsky argument bad, and you're looking for "what it's supposed to prove" when I say that. There's no deeper meaning. There's no hidden agenda. It wasn't supposed to prove anything other than the bad argument was bad. "Fields might still be really good despite falling to no. 11 because NFL teams often misevaluate QBs in the draft" is a perfectly fine argument and I agree with it My biggest problem with your he dropped to 11th or whatever is that the current MVP of the league was the 10th pick in the draft and was the 3rd QB taken that year so that's as equally a nebulous and unscientific argument as you're criticizing other people for making. My argument for Fields is that he's shown potential and he has 2 years of development/improvement/knowledge under his belt that you'd be throwing away. I don't think I've seen any indication that any of the guys available this year are considered to be can't miss and/or better prospects than Fields was. I'm no scout but I'll believe the guys who are.

    That was the only portion of the game where they were whistle happy. It was a must win for IU. Being at home, and the difference between a win or loss being 3rd place in the conference vs like 9th place. Next 2 are at Michigan St and Purdue so also a potential 4 game losing streak if they lost today. Sounds like Xavier Johnson is coming back before the month is over. And Race looks like he's close to 100% for the first time since his knee injury. Hopefully they can make a run in March. Amazing that they've been able to stay afloat with no true PG. Yeah, that game was called entirely differently the last 7-8 minutes than it was the rest of the way. Just wildly inconsistent and frustrating to watch. Can't ask for a better look to tie the game in the final seconds for Illinois but Melendez has been ice cold since December unfortunately.

    That was my biggest beef really. That flag was soooooo late. It was ticky tack anyway, but the late flag made it even worse in my view. Also, it's clear none of you know any KC fans. They're incredibly obnoxious and STL keeps getting more of them since it's a Missouri team and the Rams aren't here anymore. Barf. I was rooting for Philly solely for that reason because KC is super fun to watch.

    Was it really all that much continuity? I think the only guys who were on both 3 peat teams were Jordan and Pippen. You had completely different rosters other than those 2.

    The Mervis take is something all right.

    Ciara or whatever her name is?

    Cards and Brewers at 8 and 9 respectively, stupid Dodgers ranked first. Im really surprised the Orioles didn’t sweep all major publications’ farm rankings for the unanimous best farm. Cleveland 2 and Orioles 3.

    Law with the Cubs at 10: Cards and Brewers at 8 and 9 respectively, stupid Dodgers ranked first.

    Does the cap bump change the Bears off season math at all or was that already figured in to what everyone was projecting?

    If he lasts as long as the predictions I saw indicate, Max Duggan seems like a solid bet. Decent size and speed, winning program, and a smart player.

    Rolen is a top 10 offensive third baseman and top 5 defensive third baseman. Are there eligible guys who deserve to be in before him? Sure. But 40? Maybe a half dozen if you exclude steroid scandal guys. I count 15 guys with 60+ WAR that aren't in who aren't eligible yet, either banned, steroids guys, from the 1800s. Lou Whitaker, Bobby Grich, Dwight Evans, and Luis Tiant are probably the biggest misses on that list.

    It's wild to me how fickle the voters are. Edmonds has 5 less fWAR and didn't make it past the first year of voting. Absolutely ridiculous.

    I got rid of my charcoal once I got my pellet smoker because I really didn't want to dedicate backyard/deck space to all 3. Covers the flavor angle, but I can't do the charcoal sear. If I have a large yard one day I'll have all the cooking toys Charcoal Pellet smoker Propane grill Flat top grill Camp stove Missing any? Edit- oh I also have my portable pizza oven (pellet) but you could add a built in wood pizza oven to the wish list too I just got a 22" Blackstone and my spring project is going to be building a table I can drop the kamado into and have the Blackstone on the other end to have a sweet setup. What do you want the camp stove for? I can get my kamado up to around 550F and it does a great job on pizzas.

    Propane is stupid and useless and imparts no flavor. I have a Weber kettle and a kamado and it takes me maybe 5 minutes longer to be cooking on the Weber than it does on a gas grill.

    I’m 5’10”. I remember walking around Illinois’ campus when I was a student in the 90s and being amused that I was taller than a couple Illini basketball players who’d been listed at 6’2”. You ran into Kiwane too eh?

    This is a lot of the reason why I don't get some in the media insistence that Young is a better prospect than Fields. Really? Because physically Fields >>> Young and it's not even that close, so, I guess the base of their argument is Young is better at the mental portion of the game. Which is questionable given Young has never played a down in the NFL. It's hard to generate a lot of hype for the upcoming draft if the no. 1 overall pick isn't better than a guy who fell outside the top 10 a couple years ago. So you're saying a team would have been dumb to trade the #1 pick for Brady at the peak of his playing days because he was a 6th rounder?
  21. mul21
    The new/old offense Illinois has installed seems to be agreeing with them. 4 straight wins and a couple blowouts.
  22. mul21
    The only real problem I have with this is the fact that the rest of the roster is in shambles and even if you did feel moderately better about one of the QBs than you do Fields, you're in the same position all over again. You're not going to get the value by trading Fields that you will from trading the #1 pick and the roster desperately needs as many talented bodies in whatever position you can find them as they can get.

    Does that mean he's joining the team and playing this year?

    Based on the things posted here and what I've seen elsewhere, no changes are good and we'll likely hear something tomorrow about him being taken off intubation and sedatives since that seems to be the normal protocol for a cardiac event like this.

    If Hosmer is basically free there’s still money for Mancini then there’s also Wisdom as RHH power options. Assuming Correa goes through with the Mets Canha or Escobar could be options too. I still see 3B as a major hole with basically only Wisdom and whatever LHH we keep between Mckinstry and the guy we got from the Rays (and they’re really more bench utility guys vs guys you want playing there every day). Brian Anderson is still a FA too and I guess could be worth a flyer. Did Longoria sign somewhere?
