whitesoxfan99 Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 Illinois' new coaching staff has been incredibly unimpressive so far. Solid recruiting results but the play calling has been questionable and what was an outstanding defense all of last year that returned a ton of talent has been shredded twice in four games. Very concerning going forward but a huge part of this team's problem is that Zook and co. left absolutely no talent on the offensive side of the ball. No good QBs, no weapons at WR and a terrible offensive line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I sure hope everyone blew off that waste of a ND-Mich game for the actually really good games between ranked teams going on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zenryan Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 ND is boring. Good defense but we'll see how good it is actually is when they face a legit QB threat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the "irrelevant irish" have now likely moved into the top 10. f*** you Rick Reily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greg775 Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 That K-State/Oklahoma game was a good one. I watched most of it. KSU hung on. Nice win. Kansas and Charlie Weis lost to Northern Illinois today. Do you ND fans think Weis will fail at Kansas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoxFan1 Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 The Noles are looking so sexy right now. They have been dominant on both lines in the 2nd half tonight. James Wilder Jr. is a MAN. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's going to have to try and take advantage of the Kansas JUCO system, but we'll see how long it takes him to figure that out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I figure he'd get tired of this job after a couple years but his son is just a freshman and Weis set it up that the kid can actually be a pseudo assistant coach if u can believe that. He's not going anywhere until the kid graduates IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kansas St and its not even close. Klein is Tebow 2.0. But he's stuck at Kansas St so he doesnt get the hype. Someone in the NFL will pick him and try to mimic what Tebow does.

A lot of people screwed up that day. Dr. Allison Drumm is the mother of the young guy who died. I know her and she is a fine person. That kid's death was the end of Notre Dame to me. There's no reason that kid should have been sent up there to film a goddam practice. That kid's life was taken away over filming a f***ing practice on a windy day. So damn sad. I hope they have a scholarship in the youngster's name or name a building after him or something. Edited September 23, 2012 by greg775 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
