Magnetic Curses

personally, i think lovie should have to coach the defense. we should replace turner with someone whose offensive playbook includes more than 2 reads per play for the qbs. orton's not good, but he's not going to get any better if you continually put him in this safety bubble.

as a bears fan living in packer country, i think the packers' season has been entertaining enough for me.

turner should not be invited back, nor should babich. i'm not really sure what lovie does, so i can't judge how he's doing.

i can't beleive that they didn't assess the penalty. orton is awesome tonight. love those 2 reads.

the bears haven't come out ahead on challenges once this year. not one challenge has gone their way.

10 bucks says that this comes back and they still penalize the bears.

i smell a series of kneel downs coming on.

seriously, are the packers really this good or are they just pumped up after being eliminated from the playoffs and playing in sub zero weather?

that was comical. are we trying to make the pitiful packers look like supermen?

this game is not looking promising. if we lose to this bad packers again we don't deserve to make the playoffs. talk about aaron unitas.

Please be Mike Shaw. Or Blackshear. no way that it's blackshear, he's at least going to give self the chance to drive a dump truck full of money up to his house. i would guess shaw. if shaw commits soon, our chances with blackshear will go up significantly. Reading the various boards/interviews I'm pretty confident we get Shaw within a few weeks tops. http://blogs.dailyherald.com/node/1137This one makes it sound that way, but also gives more hope involving Blackshear. The most recent update on Blackshear I saw was just a few days ago. Said he'd visited Texas and UI, and he had every intention of taking his time with his recruitment. Yeah but that was before Abrams decided. I imagine this will start the ball rolling for us, that being said Blackshear is good enough that the staff will wait on him. But Randle and Stewart might want to decide soon. stewart's time for committing has passed. he had the chance to commit before abrams, as i think he was the first of the bunch with an offer. but he chose to wait, despite the fact that he's the least talented guard, imo, in that class.

Randle didn't commit anywhere yet did he? no, but i'm assuming abrams snagged the schollie and randle will now be going to ku. just a hunch. I thought we still wanted him. Go for the 2 pg thing again. I know the main priorities are Shaw and Blackshear, but then we still have what 2 more rides. Yep 4 remaining for 2011, 5 total through 2012(assuming Simpson redshirts this year). I'd be pretty surprised if they don't over-recruit by at least one for 2012 with Richmond or Head possibly being 2 and done, or one of the trio for next year being gone for one reason or another. And how giddy is Stan Simpson that he's gonna get to be on that team(and probably play a pretty important role) in '11-'12 I was talking with my buddy about this. He gave me the whole Abrams is so far away, what if KU(he's a jayhawk fan) wants him? I told him sure it could happen, but I doubt it with the studs all around him. He then tells me Self had better recruiting success while at UI. I think he might want to check his history books. Sine we got Howard we have easily had the best run of recruiting I can remember. Granted I was pretty young when Kendall, Nick and the boys were committing. Even then wasn't Gill very underrated and ready to go to Northwestern until we offered? self didn't recruit for illinois very well when he was there. however, he did a great job recruiting for ku when he was on the payroll of the university of illinois.

pg-abrams sg-blackshear sg-beal pf-thompson c-shaw that's a fab 5, although i don't think that thompson and shaw would be too happy playing the post. there doesn't necessairly have to be a big man. that team would run over the face of the earth.

Randle didn't commit anywhere yet did he? no, but i'm assuming abrams snagged the schollie and randle will now be going to ku. just a hunch. I thought we still wanted him. Go for the 2 pg thing again. I know the main priorities are Shaw and Blackshear, but then we still have what 2 more rides. i don't think we'll stay hot on randle after this. we'll want scorers like brad beal and blackshear. ideally, we get shaw, thompson, blackshear (now, who knows?), and beal. i would be exetremely happy with that, extremely happy. like, overjoyed.

Randle didn't commit anywhere yet did he? no, but i'm assuming abrams snagged the schollie and randle will now be going to ku. just a hunch.

congrats, snood, chasson randle is a pretty good player in his own right. let's get shaw and thompson now.

i learned that eric gordon is from illinois on sportscenter today.

i hate tennessee, i hate those stupid headbands and i hope they lose the rest of their games. most of all i hate bruce pearl and i also hate tyler smith even though i hate iowa, too.

Stacy King is awesome. Neil Funk is horrible. I really miss Larrivee on the WGN games. yeah, the only reason for that is because you're a packer fan. he's terrible calling basketball games. wait, he's terrible calling football games, too.

joe tiller hugs brees and orton and is back off to the north pole.

yes yes yes yes. wait, another week of anxiety. i don't know what i want anymore.

shut up collinsworth.

don't forget to back up 3 yards!

you're absolutely right.
