This team sucks. What a disappointment. And Minnesota should just give Peterson the ball and let him run for 300 yards on this defense.

Adrian Peterson is unreal. And just a terrific job by Manning on that play.

Adrian Peterson is amazing.

f***ing stupid coaching here. Why accept that penalty when they are going to punt, and then not blitzing brutal.

QUOTE(kyyle23 @ Oct 12, 2007 -> 03:07 PM) Why are Boers and Bernstein on the air right now talking about Weber going the underhanded route to get recruits? I only caught the tail end of the conversation, but they were definitely indicating that Weber stole a recruit from under someone else. None of Paul, DJ, or Bertrand were committed anywhere.

Bertrand to Illinois!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Absolutely unreal day. Hell yeah!!!!!!!

QUOTE(whitesoxfan101 @ Oct 11, 2007 -> 09:50 PM) 2. At Illini Midnight Madness: Simpson, Nik Garcia, Bertrand, Richmond, Richardson, Paul, Anthony Johnson (#2 in 2010 behind Richmond), Marcus Jordan (Jeff's brother), Crandall Head (Luther's brother), DeAndre McCamey, Tyler Griffey. I am pretty sure there are more, I've heard there will be 20 to 25 there, but those are the names I know. Love the post, but one little correction is that Deandre McCamey will be at SIU's MM with his AAU coach (Bryan Mullins' dad). Edit: And it is freaking awesome to be excited about basketball recruiting again.

QUOTE(Jenksismyb**** @ Oct 11, 2007 -> 06:15 PM) so how good are these guys? the IB and scout boards are going crazy, but I look at their rankings and they seem pretty average (both 3*). Should I be expecting a change in the rankings? Richardson is ranked around 50 on Rivals and these two along with Bertrand and Colvin are considered the best players in the state. Paul was not evaluated by the national gurus this summer so that is why his ranking isn't that high. Both could end up being top 50 players, potentially higher. Don't forget that at this point last year Shumpert was a no name, Patrick Beverly was a no name until half way through his junior year, Sherron Collins was a 3 star till he exploded his junior year.

QUOTE(whitesoxfan101 @ Oct 11, 2007 -> 10:37 AM) Simpson should be the first 2008 verbal soon, and the Illini NEED to get at least 1 guard out of that class IMO, or else they will have to stard Steve Holdren at guard in 2008-2009 or something. How do you figure? Starting backcourt next year will be DMac and Jamar with Frazier the top guard off of the bench.

QUOTE(whitesoxfan101 @ Oct 11, 2007 -> 12:19 AM) Things look pretty good in regards to 2009 through 2011 recruiting. I just hope the fact that the team is going to suck the next 2 seasons doesn't end up hurting the inroads made in those classes. Suck is a bit too strong. But the teams will be no where near the level you, me or any Illini fans want the program at. However, if Weber does bring in strong classes in 09, 10, 11 etc. I think you have to give him these down years. When the guy has talent he wins big.

So to break up all the Illinois Bball recruiting hate, looks like Jerrance is paying of already. Richardson is a huge recruit for the program right now. http://www.whoitv.com/sports/sports_story.aspx?id=56453

LOL, and now the ump misses Matsui hitting Shopach's mitt.

Some of these base hits are just ridiculous.

Huge pitch by Mussina there. If they can get out of this only giving up 1 they won't be in bad shape at all with Byrd on the mound.

QUOTE(witesoxfan @ Oct 8, 2007 -> 07:05 PM) what a bunch of s*** Agreed, they just showed his hand and there was no mark or redness. Basically impossible if you get hit by a 94 MPH pitch.

I really don't think that hit him.

QUOTE(Jenksismyb**** @ Oct 8, 2007 -> 11:28 AM) 6) Griese still sucks. I don't care that he won (luck). I'm confident Grossman could have made the 2 decent throws he made that entire game. WTF was with that interception? Why are people not riding his ass for such a stupid throw. I thought he was supposed to be making good decisions? I think the TD/Int ratio so far is 3/5. And did anyone else catch the stat that NBC threw up about the worst interception per pass ratio? Griese is like 3rd worst with a pick every 24 throws. TD/INT ratio for Griese is 4/4. TD/INT ratio for Grossman is 1/6. QB ratings are 77.8 for Griese and 45.2 for Grossman. The Bears have scored 5 TDs on O during Griese's starts and 2 on O during Grossman's starts. I'm not a Griese fan but he has been an upgrade so far.

Great win for the Bears and unbelievable choke job by the Packers tonight.

What a f***ing call. About time they actually grow some balls.

Amazing to see a QB actually avoid a pass rush.

Son of a b****. What a terrible throw.

I really don't understand why Green Bay has stopped throwing the ball.

QUOTE(WhiteSoxfan1986 @ Oct 7, 2007 -> 09:47 PM) Wow, the packers might just give this away. They seem to be trying their hardest.

TD!!!

Packers are keeping the Bears in the game.
