  1. Florio picks the Bears by 3. Rosenthal picks the Pack by 3. http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2011/09/22/pfts-week-three-picks-2/
  2. So you're saying next year we should be injury free? Sweet.
  3. That same article about Carimi being out a few weeks says they hope to have him back before the off week, so its closer to the originally speculated 4 weeks. Earl Bennett will be out this week. Lance Louis was limited in practice Wednesday, and may be tried at RT next week depending on what Omiyale does. Moving around the young guy, Louis rather than the "experienced" guy in Spencer... Chris Harris and Roy Williams were both limited on Wednesday. Harris will be a game time decision. Williams won't speculate on his status. Wright didn't practice.
  4. Googling "college football rankings" gets me to them on ESPN faster than going to ESPN and clicking through the site.
  5. college football rankings college football stats college football champions college football reference (I never remember the different url's for the "reference" sites)
  6. I googled "nate silver college football" about an hour ago.
  7. Nate Silver is a god and his word is gospel. maybe there is a better way/approach, but I sure don't see anyone providing one. I don't need numbers to prove it. I can just see it with my eyes!
  8. It's because they're a borderline JUCO that has no fanbase or media markets of note. Their stadium seats 5000 less than the lowest BCS conference team(Cincy). They're currently increasing the seating capacity of the stadium, which will seat 53,000 when complete in time for the 2013 season. According to Nate Silver, they have a bigger fan base than TCU. Boise State is the #41 highest seller in collegiate apparel (for the first quarter of 2010-2011 fiscal year) as well. Academics is the excuse I hear the most, but frankly I think it's far more likely about geography. If they were located closer further south, I think they'd have a better chance. According to Nate Silver, Clemson has the 10th biggest fanbase in the coutnry. 24th in merchandise sales.
  9. Vasher's 108-yd missed FG return was in the orange jersey. Bears won 17-9. http://www.sportsrecords.us/files/images/nathan-vasher-returns-108-yards.jpg

  11. In my crazy dream world, Boise State is in that discussion.... http://i276.photobucket.com/albums/kk14/sudie70/drunk.gif
  12. Yeah, that's the same article that was posted early this morn. Always love Silver's stuff though.
  13. Not sure how this didn't get more publicity, but the "headlines" that Fox said were real during the Bears-Falcons game....weren't. http://www.chicagotribune.com/sports/smack/chi-110917-smack-graphic,0,4921109.graphic Sorry the article is in graphic form, so it's a bit difficult to read. I thought at the time those looked fishy...I didn't think he was attacked like that in any Chicago newspapers.
  14. http://missouri.rivals.com/content.asp?CID=1267857 Officially getting my hopes up. I don't know much about Missouri, and I'm pretty clueless about this whole realignment stuff, but I think I'd try not to get too excited until someone other than a Missouri fan-site reports it.
  15. They're temporary, usually resolved by a reload, but I've gotten "out of memory" errors while on the site both yesterday and today, Tim. Just a heads up.
  16. Hopefully Cutler not having a footprint on his throat will help with picking up blitzes. How has GB been against the screen? That was something that the Saints did a pretty good job of taking away from the Bears.
  17. Nick Collins out for the season.
  18. Has Kaplan always been this [expletive] crazy? I honestly don't remember him being this nuts back when it was him and Waddle on 720 SportsCentral, and that was the only time we heard from him... But that could just be convenient memory.
  19. Might as well keep him out through the bye then. That'd mean he'd be out for GB, Car, @Det, Min, and @TB in London. Back in time for Philly on 11/7.
  20. Most of the pounding was after some injuries. It was still a 3 point game late in the 3rd quarter. I'm thinking that line might drift more in the Packers favor if the Bears injury reports are....unfavorable.
  21. I'd love to see Boise State end up in an automatic bid conference, but I have no faith that that will actually occur.
  22. Do you have a personal stake in that site? Or you just really like it?
  23. Buffone is horrible. I will say that Cutler overthrew a number of receivers, and that annoyed me, but there was so much more to take away from that game... Isn't Buffone strongly backing Cutler there? Wow...talk about misreading. You're right...I skimmed it and somehow took something completely different out of it. Ignore my dumb ass.
  24. Buffone is horrible. I will say that Cutler overthrew a number of receivers, and that annoyed me, but there was so much more to take away from that game...
