Brian Posted November 22, 2009 Share Posted November 22, 2009 QUOTE (danman31 @ Nov 21, 2009 -> 05:47 PM) Northwestern 8-4 after upsetting Wisconsin. This NU team has developed into a damn good one. Onto bowl speculation... Pat Fitzgerald is one of the most likable coaches in college football. Wonder if a bigger program comes calling sooner or later.

Palehosefan Posted November 22, 2009 Share Posted November 22, 2009 QUOTE (Palehosefan @ Jul 22, 2009 -> 11:49 PM) Oklahoma -11 @ Texas Tech Might have to actually take up betting for that one. OU has lost their last two trips to Lubbock and needs some serious payback for the year changing raping last year in Norman. Oh well, UNC and TTU should be in some of the pre-season top 25 polls, should be another fun year. Looks like that was a pretty good prediction.

You make me root against Ohio State. No joke. This board has made me just hate anything to do with Kansas and Ohio State. The homerism is just like a stench.

kev211 Posted November 22, 2009 Share Posted November 22, 2009 (edited) I'll never understand the ND hate. We don't go around ripping on your teams so why do you guys hate ND? Great Game to attend today. Not. It was fun while it lasted Charlie. So who should we hire Jim Harbaugh, Brian Kelly, Urban Meyer(If he would leave florida), Pat Fitzgerald? Personally I want Kelly.

Wonder if a bigger program comes calling sooner or later. He just signed a long extension at NU and I really think he wants to be there. It's where he went to school after all. As for ND hate, it's generally the arrogance of a school/fanbase in the middle of Indiana that's too good for a conference and too good to not be on national TV every week. This coming from a program that has had one good season in the last several. All the attention gets annoying when it's no longer deserved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

knightni Posted November 22, 2009 Share Posted November 22, 2009 The alumni and administration are the culprits not Joe fan. If someone offered you cash for something even though you weren't as good as you used to be, would you take it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimbo's Drinker Posted November 22, 2009 Share Posted November 22, 2009 Funny how a bunch of people you never meet can make you hate a university.

dasox24 Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 Well, one of the UT players had all charges dropped today from that incident 2 weeks ago. Video cameras showed he wasn't involved. Our team is so banged up right now, his probable return should help. FYI, Tennessee has lost 20 scholarship players from this point last season to now (14 left program/kicked out, 6 season ending injuries - 5 of which on defense). I think that shows even more what an amazing job Lane Kiffin and this staff has done this year. But, I'm worried about Kentucky this week. We're missing half of our defense.

danman31 Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 QUOTE (dasox24 @ Jul 23, 2009 -> 02:00 PM) I know you're an Illini hater, but do you really believe that they're returning "crap?" Illinois is damn talented. Maybe overrated, but you make it sound like they're gonna have a losing record again, which will 100% not happen. Sorry to bring this up because I have nothing against you personally, but I took a lot of heat for saying Illinois wasn't going to be good this year. The talent level may be there, but it's certainly on Zook that they are this bad 2 years in a row. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My main argument was on the talent level, not the coaching at lllinois. You said they had a "crap" roster. I didn't agree with that then and I still don't agree with that. They have lots of talent. The coaching staff, however... that's another whole discussion. I definitely was wrong about the losing record thing, though.

You can't call it a bad team and then say coaching is clearly the problem. Here's the issue: Illinois has a talented bunch of players. They are not a team. THAT is on the coaching staff which is why Zook should go (and I love me some Ron Zook). Enthusiasm only takes you so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
