QUOTE (fathom @ Nov 22, 2010 -> 02:15 PM) Alabama loses to Saint Peter's. Anthony Grant not getting the job done there. The Iowa loss is still worse. With a certain football game scheduled on Friday, do you think anyone in the state of Alabama even notices anyway?

Now they just have to do something about that raggedy old quarterback they have

Long Reliever: Pena 60-day DL spot: McCarthy

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Nov 22, 2010 -> 10:11 AM) What was with agent Nelson boozing/whoring it up? I mean, why? The part where Chalky just straight choked the guy to death was intense. Also, I'm beginning to dislike Nucky more and more. How do you treat your driver/assistant so badly when the guy just saved your life? Nelson is so freaking creepy in that show. It was entertaining to see him delve into the dark side though. With the way Nucky treats his assistant, I assume something big might happen with that later in the season. There has to be a reason why they go out of their way to show how badly he treats him.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Nov 22, 2010 -> 08:39 AM) So here's a scenario that I just thought about. What if a potential terrorist used a prosthetic penis made from real skin and filled it with whatever they were trying to sneak onto the plane? Would the backscatter see through the fake penis? Couple that with some items hidden in their anal cavity and now you've just let someone on board with who knows what. I could see it now. They send a couple of test subjects through with nothing in the prosthetic to see if they get pulled aside. Like Onterrio Smith & the Whizzinator???

QUOTE (fathom @ Nov 21, 2010 -> 03:19 PM) I'm just mad Gus wasn't doing that game. Sanchez with two perfect passes to end that game. He was doing the Bengals/Bills game. Even with the Bengals up 17 points, you knew that the Bills would come back. It's the Law of Gus Johnson, the game has to get close and exciting in the 2nd half to give him a reason to yell.

QUOTE (SnB @ Nov 20, 2010 -> 08:49 PM) What a cool atmosphere at Wrigley today, thankfully NW's defense didn't really feel like playing. It was definitely a great atmosphere. The neighborhood was jumping before the game and the crowd was way more in to it than at your normal Ill/NW game. The whole going in one direction thing didn't seem to affect the game at all. The first one or two times they had to switch sides it was kinda funny, but after that it just like whatever. Oh, and I think LeShoure just broke another 30 yard run.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Nov 20, 2010 -> 10:41 PM) Well if nothing else is true, Roberto Luongo is the Blackhawks b****. That's for sure. Typical 2010-11 week for the Hawks. 5-0 & 7-1 blowouts sandwiched around getting their ass kicked 7-2 by the 2nd worst team in the West. Still can't get a consistent streak going. And why the f*** do they still have 4-5 more games played than the entire division.

QUOTE (zenryan @ Nov 21, 2010 -> 03:25 PM) will Cincy finally get rid of Lewis now? They need to get rid of Carson Palmer just as badly. Awful.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Nov 19, 2010 -> 01:49 PM) They would have to play their games at the Cell most likely. Or possibly in Milwaukee. It's all Cubs fans when they play up there anyway.

I was just thinking about how funny it will be if there is a goalline stand. Stuff them at the one yard line, then your offense gets to run on to the field. All the way at the opposite end, lol.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Nov 19, 2010 -> 12:49 PM) There are a ton of terrible seats in that place with obstructed views. There are also a ton of terrible seats in that place without obstructed views. Anywhere in the back of the 200 level sucks even when there is no column in your way.

That A-rod deal is really hurting them in this situation. He is signed til he is 42, so Jeter wants the same thing.

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Nov 19, 2010 -> 12:07 PM) I found it interesting that they had safety experts and engineers plot everything out BEFORE they agreed to the game, then back out AFTER agreeing to the game. The conference and team officials all agreed it was ok. But NOW they feel it's in the best interest to not use that end zone. In other words, someone at the NCAA saw pictures of the field and said "umm, no," so the conference/teams capitulated. I don't see much of an increased risk of harm here. How many guys have been hurt from hitting the goal post? It's pretty rare that someone goes out of the back of the endzone like that anyway. This. They have been planning this game for 18 months. They have gone through all the logistics, engineers came and studied it, the whole shebang. Then all of a sudden 24 hours before, they decide its a bad idea??? What have they been doing for the last year and a half? What changed today that hadn't been going through their heads for the rest of the process. NW might have some pissed off alums that paid top dollar for their tickets and are now stuck on an end with no end zone.

http://sports.espn.go.com/chicago/ncf/news/story?id=5824661 They will only use one end zone at Wrigley tommorrow. Whenever a team has the ball on offense, they will be driving towards the west end zone, towards home plate. They won't use the end zone in the outfield by the ivy. Thank god my seats are on the right goalline.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Nov 19, 2010 -> 08:39 AM) What's up with the bulls*** schedule makers? Why does Oakland go to Pittsburgh 2 years straight? They aren't even in the same division? Just win baby. Didn't they do it last year?

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Nov 19, 2010 -> 07:33 AM) (btw, for funsies, here was Kotsay's line against LHP - .000/.074/.000/.074 in 27 PAs) I didn't realize he drew two walks against LHP. Good for you Mark, good for you.

It's disappointing to lose and not get to face Pitt, but can't complain about losing an OT game to a ranked team in November. MSU seems to do that all the time and still make the Final Four. Just don't lose to Maryland please. They definitely still seem to be lacking that killer instinct, but hopefully Richmond can keep improving on what he did today and become a big time player.

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Nov 18, 2010 -> 11:17 PM) and that's the game. Illinois didn't deserve to win. horrible defense, bad offense at times. still a lot of work left. I wish they'd have the killer mentality, cuz the talent is clearly there. Bill Cole says slow down, it aint over.

QUOTE (lostfan @ Nov 18, 2010 -> 11:12 PM) Cutler's stat line isn't eye popping or anything but his game was actually really good. He didn't throw much because he was efficient and threw some clutch 3rd downs. He may have gotten away with a couple throws, but yeah, he definitely kept it under control and when they needed a big pass he made it. The offense definitely seems to be way more in sync the last 3 weeks than before the bye.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Nov 18, 2010 -> 11:09 PM) I really thought we would see a ton of wildcat tonight. I thought so too, but I don't know if the Bears D is the best one to run it against, so quick.

QUOTE (fathom @ Nov 18, 2010 -> 11:07 PM) Still can't tell if he walked on the play (left foot was definitely close), but it was a strong finish at least. I just liked the confidence with him taking it to the hole, not looking for an outside shot or to pass the ball. That has been missing the last few years.

Lots of faith in Richmond with the game on the line and a lot of upperclassmen in the lineup. Overall, he has looked tenative IMO, but on that last play I think he showed what he is capable of.

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Nov 18, 2010 -> 10:32 PM) more fouls. foul, foul, foul, f***ing foul QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Nov 18, 2010 -> 10:34 PM) foul, foul, foul, foul. QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Nov 18, 2010 -> 10:37 PM) here comes the trademark patented Illinois whine: the refs are bailing out Texas. Every f***ing trip. Drive into your defender, get a foul no matter what QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Nov 18, 2010 -> 10:46 PM) This is a mockery of a basketball game. QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Nov 18, 2010 -> 10:49 PM) Every trip is a foul. Both teams are playing bad D, but come on WTF? Has Illini Board taken over Soxtalk????
