  1. Illinois' 4 losses were by a combined 20 points. The last year prior to this one where they did not have a loss by 20+ points was 2008.
  2. They would probably end up with Luke Fickell
  3. I know it would never happen, but I honestly wonder how different things would look in both college football and basketball if no ranking were someone until part way into the season. Like, 3 games in football and a month in basketball. People would claim that the CFP rankings do this, but there's no way they don't consider the other rankings -- and plenty of that (at least toward the middle/bottom of the top 25) is skewed by the perception leading into the season.
  4. This is good right? Just don’t get smoked today and hope englands second team is still good enough to grab 3 points against wales and we just need to beat Iran. If we win today, we go through of we don't lose to Iran. If we draw, we can go through If England win or draw v Wales and we draw or win v Iran. If we lose, we can still go through by beating Iran as long we still beat them and Wales on GD, which would obviously be very likely as long as we don't get curb stomped by England.
  5. What a ball
  6. Belgium's geezers on the back line are going to give one up if nothing changes.
  7. Canada looking dangerous early, but I feel like they've got to put something away before Belgium settle in.
  8. Argentina drops their opener to Saudi Arabia. SAs GK made some big stops.
  9. Schrodinger's QB
  10. Maybe DET if they remember that they're bad. Detroit has some semblance of a pass rush. We don't.
  11. I'm not sure there's a winnable game on the schedule if Fields doesn't play.
  12. Adams was amazing.
  13. Pulisic has looked aggressive. I like our chances of getting a 2nd with them having to get more aggressive.
  14. McKennie is much more likely to score than assist, IMO
  15. It's unfortunate neither Gio nor Aaronson play the 9 #oldnews It's more unfortunate that they probably could and Berhalter has never given them (or Weah) a chance (obviously injuries have played a part in that) Like, I wouldn't be surprised to see a better attack with Gio or Weah up top rather than Sargent, even if that's not their best spot
  16. 2 options here... 1. Some intern or whatever actually does Bret's tweeting and fired this one off without approval. 2. He tweeted it from a pretty tough place after losing his mom the other day and then losing a chance to beat a top 5 team on the road.
  17. Apparently Tim Weah borrowed a suit from someone in the 2003 NBA Draft
  18. Eh, if that Vikings corner didn't grab Davis, it's a TD. Definitely bogus no call on Kmet though.
  19. Tom Brady would have drawn a roughing the passer penalty there
  20. Incidental or not, Okudah just ran through Kmet. How is that not a penalty?
  21. 90 was being mugged on that big play to Raymond
  22. It's like a replay of the Illinois - Purdue game yesterday
  23. By definition, there's no way that was hands to the face. Now I'm not sure if there's a rule against a throat punch, but it wasn't hands to the face. Period.
  24. He wasn't even out of bounds though. Morrow shoved him out, Gordon punched the ball before he was out.
  25. Comparing Fields stats (and Jackson, and other QBs who add significant value running the ball) to other QBs you really need to add his running and passing totals together to compare yardage. No, 154 doesn't seem like a lot of yards, but 228 in the 3rd quarter does look pretty good and adequately describes his value.
