The Bears completed a forward pass for a 1st down? :-k

They might as well just make it illegal to hit the quarterback unless he crosses the line of scrimmage. That seems to be where we're headed. Just give the QB flags like flag football. But then I'm sure they would come up with penalties for pulling the flag too hard too.

Poor Peanut, he is now condemned to eternal damnation for intercepting the son of god. :?

=D>

Wow, wait Ryan Braun tested positive for PED's too? Damn nothing like an early Xmas! :stickman:

I don't care what anyone says, that game was awesome and I'm in heaven for at least one night so....yeah. :stickman: :stickman: :stickman:

Dude, if we win this game it isn't going to be all pretty and flowers and relaxing. It will definitely be a game where it is ugly and runs are made either way...if we win.

Honestly the way IU has played we should be down by 20 but somehow it is a game. lol. Definitely some ugly out there.

I guess Doug Gottlieb expected IU to blow out UK based on his halftime commentary. OMG WE LOST THE HALF THAT WE ARE LEADING. Yeah, I guess.

Oh, that would be the part of the first half where I screamed at my TV "GET BLEEPING MOORE OUT OF THERE OMG WTF". Yeah. Glad to see Mr Scrappy McGrit could not even hit a [expletive] free throw.

Well he probably could make some nice cash off that tbh.

I don't have the stats in front of me but it doesn't seem like Cody has even gotten into foul trouble once yet. Against NC State he only had 2 fouls and that was his first time playing against truly athletic big men. He doesn't play clunky, I'm more worried about him getting physically overpowered. That does happen to him at times.

And guess who is reffing this game? Ted Valentine! Yay. :?

And on the roundtable college basketball article this week on ESPN, 3 different people picked IU over Kentucky as their upset. I have been surprised with how close everybody thinks it's going to be. I guess it must be because Kentucky hasn't had a true road game yet and people think the crowd will really shake them. I'm not very up on Kentucky, but isn't the key to beating them forcing them to shoot from outside and making your own outside shots? Indiana's more of a drive and score type of team and I don't know if that will work against Kentucky's shotblockers, and on defense Indiana doesn't have the big men to really guard Kentucky or much experience playing zone. Indiana will force a decent amount of turnovers though as they get lots of deflections. I'm just picturing a physical manhandling. Kentucky players jumping out of the gym blocking shots. Poor Jordy Hulls running for the Shire. Have you watched the IU-UK games the last two years? IU has hung around in both games for roughly 30 minutes or so and the current IU team is deeper and more experienced than anything they put on the court those last two meetings. Meanwhile UK keeps resetting their roster every year. I don't see it as that big of a deal that people think the game could be competitive.

Okay now this game has become funny bad to me.

Time for some Hester magic.

Denver has fewer yards on offense than both the Chiefs had BEFORE that TD drive. But they have the Son of God on their team, they will win that Vikings game.

Tebow will smite us for sure.

I dunno, it feels like depressing bad to me. I'd almost rather not be watching this game anymore. :?

This game makes baby jesus cry. :(

Yeah, then Tom Crean decided it was a great idea to sub all over the damn place and put Tom Pritchard and Matt Roth on the court at the same time. #-o Crean's sub patterns after that hot start were baffling to say the least.

Butler's terrible. IU should have won that game by 30 -- though, honestly, if they could make layups (Watford can't), they would have. I wouldn't go that far. Butler still has some guys that can play but obviously it is going to take them a while to get it together. They didn't look very good early last season either. Butler is a team that is good at making a game look ugly and that is how they hang around. I mean Louisville is currently ranked #8 and they played a very similar game against Butler...led by a point at the half, pulled away to a 16 point win. That isn't to say I am comparing IU to UL but I'm just saying to presume we would beat Butler by 30, I can't say I would think that. I figured we would win by double digits and so I'm fine with the result we got. IU didn't play Butler at the end of the season; IU played Butler last night. Whether Butler improves as the season progresses is of no moment. Butler has been bad this year and was bad last night. IU played a miserable first half -- Butler gets some credit for that, they do play tougher, more physical defense compared to the other five schlubs IU has defeated this year. If IU doesn't play better Wednesday night, they'll lose. If they don't play better over the course of the season, they won't win nearly as many games as I'm starting to think they might. I was pretty pleased with the second half, though. I just think you are over-stating how bad they are. Based on the raw results of their games, yeah I wasn't expecting much but then actually seeing Butler play last night they aren't totally devoid of talent. Chris-shawn Thomas looks promising, they still have Nored and Marshall...I think Butler will get better for sure. It can't be easy starting the season with an entirely new lineup and rotation. I don't think IU played their best basketball last night either. I think it was good for IU to play a team that gets very physical on defense.

Let's get real. The Bears are claiming Orton not because they expect him to actually play ahead of Hanie at all but they are just trying to re-capture the magic of the neck beard.

It sure is a good thing that San Diego fired Marty after a 14-2 season so they could enjoy all these glorious seasons of Norv Turner.
