ChiSox_Sonix Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Oct 22, 2013 -> 08:54 AM) After watching the primetime NFL games, is there another bad college football program with as many NFL players as Illinois? How many? UConn has 15+ NFL players despite being a fairly poor football school. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
witesoxfan Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 Depends on how bad you want bad to be. UNC has had first round picks up the butt and players all over the place. Plus, Illinois has been in a Rose Bowl in the last 5 years or whatever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knightni Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 Ohio State used to be that way when John Cooper was the coach. NFL guys all over the place but never won anything as a team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to ESPN, UConn has 17, Illinois has 24. With the sheer amount of players in the NFL, every school is bound to have several, so I'm probably overexaggerating a bit. But it still just amazes me how many Illini players are in the league. One Rose Bowl and two 6-6 seasons in the past 10 years? And several 0-8 B1G seasons. I think it was after the 2012 draft, but they said that only USC & Alabama had more 1st round picks than Illinois over the past 5 or so years. ZOOKER!

Miami already has self imposed 3 postseason games, been under the 85 limit and a self reduction of paid visits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zenryan Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 Biggest winner today was Frank Haith. If what the NCAA says is true, he probably should never coach another game. Getting a 5 game suspension isn't even a slap on the wrist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Devier Posey got 5 games for getting paid an extra $3.07 over the course of a few years. Timing was on Miami's side here. USC got much worse for one player involved in pay for play.

zenryan Posted October 26, 2013 Share Posted October 26, 2013 Alabama played 6 straight teams that were coming off of a bye week in 2010. From 2007-10, Alabama played 17 SEC games against teams coming off a bye week. LSU had the next most in that same time period with 5 games. That was weird in the conference scheduling.

Kyyle23 Posted October 26, 2013 Author Share Posted October 26, 2013 Alabama is punishing fraternities for leaving games early, lol. Saban is such a megalomaniac http://m.espn.go.com/ncf/story?storyId=9880250 The block seating usually reserved for fraternities and other groups will be dissolved for Saturday's game against Tennessee, and any student will be allowed to sit anywhere in the student section. The university's guidelines for the block seating lists "excessive tardiness or early departure from the stadium" as "unacceptable behavior," according to the Birmingham News. The handbook also says an organization's second offense would result in the loss of block seating for the rest of the seasons, and organizations would be banned from sitting together after a third offense, the News reported.

ZoomSlowik Posted October 26, 2013 Share Posted October 26, 2013 QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Oct 26, 2013 -> 01:54 PM) Man Northwestern sucks. Too bad. Their D is about what I expected, maybe even a little better. The problem is the offense has been out of sync most of the year. Their offensive line stinks, a lot of holding penalties and false starts (plus somehow they have like 5 false starts on receivers). They're not a team that can consistently recover from penalties. I'm really worried about next year's offense without Colter, Simien has looked brutal this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
