  1. Northwestern has seemingly done the impossible: made the spread offense unbelievably boring
  2. lol what? you don't think the best reliever in the world would be let go by his team to come sign with the Cubs?
  3. this playing surface looks terrible
  4. well coached, super smart rich ass white kids. even worse. Now you know how we feel seeing as Iowa loses to NW a lot more than they should. Pat Fitzgerald does a great job with what he's got, and if he can keep good skill players in his offensive scheme, they'll be a good team more often than not
  5. well coached, super smart rich ass white kids. even worse. I didn't (and still don't) think NU will win this game, but it will be very interesting if these Big XII defenses get exposed this bowl season.

  7. the Bears will never draft a franchise QB as long as Angelo has his deathly fear of high draft picks
  8. Gotta throw on my NU cap now...
  9. I hope it's more competitive than that, but the Big Ten sucks. 2-5 is an optimistic prediction for the conference this year. quiet, LA Tech boy Only team in thier crappy conference to win. and they'd lose to every Big Ten bowl team this year...... most likely. but you're right, the Big Ten was way down this year.

  12. I hope it's more competitive than that, but the Big Ten got about the worst draws I can remember for one bowl season. 2-5 is an optimistic prediction for the conference this year.
  13. I love how wrigley23 always twists the debate to make it sound like everyone but him thinks Soriano is ideal in his position in the batting order. I'm pretty sure most of us would prefer him lower in the order.
  14. i think PSU will be closer to Pomeroy's 7-11 than Sagarin's 5-13, but that may just be wishful thinking.
  15. His specific comment was that he kept getting called into the principal's office and called out in front of the students. Translation: They weren't building shrines to me and considering me a God like they did in Green Bay
  16. The Bears can get away with their dink and dunk offense if it sustains drives and wins the TOP battle. The problem this year was that the defense couldn't get off the field, so they weren't winning the field position battle. What I saw was a failure to adjust to the reality of the circumstances; an elite defense who can create 3 and outs and win the field position battle can let you play a vanilla offensive scheme, but when your offense is constantly starting deep in their own zone (and often behind on the scoreboard), things need to get more creative. Orton IS a problem, and one that better receivers won't necessarily fix. Hester is a deep threat and potential game changer but Orton can't hit him in stride. When your only deep threat is rolling the dice on a pass interference call, that's ENTIRELY on the QB. I just hope the Bears will have a franchise QB in my lifetime, as they haven't had one yet.
  17. Pam Ward was calling it, so I'd say yes
  18. how much pressure do you think Angelo is under to retain Lovie because he's a minority coach? the NFL puts so much emphasis on this through the hiring rules that I can't help but think that Lovie will be given more rope than others. is this a ridiculous idea?
  19. 7 out of the 12 teams in the playoffs this year were not in the post season last year. Amazing
  20. Per Rotoworld, pending physical. 1 year deal for $5M, plus up to $3M in incentives
  21. the entire replay/challenge system in the NFL is terrible. college football's isn't perfect, but it's FAR better
  22. How dare a Wisconsin player make a mockery of the Seminole chop. "Those Wisconsin bullies made fun of the thing we do that mocks Native Americans!" Wrong. FSU has the full backing of the Seminole Tribe, and all "rituals" come directly from the tribe. $$$$$$$$$$$$$4
  23. 5-2. And I suspect the answer you'll get is Manny and something about the pitching matchups, although we were 3-3 against Lowe/Billingsley/Kuroda in the regular season, with Gallagher getting 2 of those starts(1-1) for the Cubs. NO mention from wrigley23 about Dempster walking the ballpark in Game 1......

    NFL Week 17

    Denver is doing their best Dallas impression here, crapping the bed when a playoff spot is on the line. Unbelievable that a once 4-8 Chargers team could host a game next week
  25. what was the difference between the Dodgers team we went 0-3 against in the playoffs and the Dodgers team we went 4-2 against in the regular season?
