Brad Miller's a corpse. Totally worthless now. Can't rebound, can't hold the paint, can't even make a jumper any more (seriously, his spot up shooting is TOTALLY gone).
-
How else would you know what sport you were watching?
-
Yes, more of this Derrick.

It's a sign of a good program but it does hurt after awhile. Even if the guys you're bringing in to replace the assistants who left are good there's still an adjustment period where things can get rocky. The amount of assistants Stoops has lost that have become pretty good HCs elsewhere is pretty insane: M. Stoops, Pelini, Leach, Mangino, Sumlin, Chuck Long (ok, not him).
-
Why? Stoops has a title ring. He's been to like half the national title games since the BCS was instituted. He has coached 2 QBs, 1 of whom clearly didn't have pro-football chops, to a Heisman Trophy, almost coached AD to a 3rd, and until this injury-riddled year had done nothing but pile up 9 and 10-win seasons. And he's done all that at one of the top-tier programs. His resume is top notch but I think you have to temper it with the fact that Oklahoma didn't really deserve to be in any of the last three BCS title games Stoops took them to. On top of that he didn't win any of them and they weren't especially competitive games either. There's two other BCS losses in that time frame and he's lost 4 out of the last 5 against Texas. Kelly's cheaper, hungrier (i.e. has more to prove), he's on an upswing, and his staff isn't constantly being pillaged of its best coaches like Stoops (which is a pretty big factor in why OU hasn't been able to win a big game in years) is. Either would be a huge improvement over Weis, obviously, but I just like Kelly more.
-
I honestly would rather have Kelly than Stoops unless you're really afraid that Kelly doesn't have the pull to recruit nationally.

Kubiak was the long time OC under Shanahan in Denver (1995-2005).
-
A Shanahan/Kubiak package would be nice.
-
I'm kind of enjoying Aikman's open disdain for how the Bears have run themselves.
-
The receivers suck just as much as those other units.
-
When you have an awesome offensive line, an all pro RB and tons of weapons at WR, it's hard not to dominate unless you are Tavaras Jackson All im saying is, he has thrown only 3 INT's this year. 2 have been off tipped balls. He's never played this smart and well at the same time. Its annoying. Hopefully he blows it in the postseason. He's never had a team this good. The 96 Packers were absolutely loaded. One of the few teams in NFL history to lead the league in total offense and total defense. But yeah. This Vikings team is good. And they didn't have "tons" of weapons at WR until Favre got there. Rice was considered a bust until this season wasn't he? Harvin was obviously a great pick.
-
Terrible.
-
By the end of the season you'll be talking about the universal conspiracy against the Bears for giving up a run of the mill 3 yard carry.
-
NO OTHER TEAM HAS 50+ YARD FIELD GOALS MADE AGAINST THEM!
-
lol
-
Have the Bears played a complete game all year? One or both units have to be utterly terrible in every game.
-
I actually turned the game off after the TD that made it 21-7. And now I'm reading that SC kneeled and THEN UCLA called a timeout before SC went for the score? What on earth could you possibly be whining about then?
-
The idea that Neuheisel would've sat on the ball in a similar situation is pretty laughable. Besides, wasn't it "hilarious" when Stanford went for two when they were sodomizing SC. Ok, that actually was funny but my point stands.
-
I'm giving Auburn like a 2% chance here.
-
I don't think so just because if Alabama did lose, they would probably drop to 6th. If they beat Florida they would still have to jump three undefeateds in the human polls. If Alabama lost would you rank them ahead of Georgia Tech tomorrow? That's what I'm thinking but a lot of the talking heads made it seem that way.
-
no, a 3-loss USC team would get in first This would be a workable joke if it had any precedent at all.
-
Is it just a foregone conclusion that a 1 loss SEC champ gets in over an undefeated TCU or Cincy or both?
-
No one who would be in any sort of position to affect things wants Cincinnati in the title game.
-
I don't see how what he reported was stupid. Because Drudge has a notorious history of jumping the gun and reporting hoaxes? He's not an actual journalist so he's not really held to the same standards as one.
-
Yeah, everyone is now. It's still dumb on Drudge's part to say someone is "seriously injured" and then link to an article that doesn't say that at all. But it's Drudge and to be expected. That's why they're always first I guess. Anyway, the reports say booze wasn't involved but I''m incredulous to say the least.
