To clarify, I meant the entire state, collapses into the earth, just forming a giant hole in the ground to the east of Illinois. It'd be inconvenient for driving out east, but we all need to sacrifice for the greater good.
So I brainfarted and thought the Illinois game was tonight. Any sort of description of what went wrong for those who watched it? PS I hope Indiana collapses, it'd be really fun. PS Kansas lost to Davidson??? At least there's that.
Thankfully, putting the best baseball team possible on the field in 2012 isn't Theo's #1 priority. Building a perennial contender is Theo's #1 priority. Achieving that objective may involve trading guys like Garza and Marshall, even at the expense of 2012. But I'm sure you knew that. Because the only way to put a competitive team on the field in 2012 is by ruining the long-term future of the franchise.
Why are the Lions a good team, and the Jets and Raiders aren't? Because they'll make the playoffs? Obviously you're selling the Raiders short. No shame in losing by 20 to the Dolphins. Yeah, or winning by 5 @ Houston.
