Okay...well.....it sucks we evolved one tube for both breathing and eating, but no sense complaining about it.
Uh, yeah, except that they could change it tomorrow if they wanted to. Harder to change how we breathe.

O'Connell hitch and go to Wright for another long score.

26-14 Boilers.

Let's see if the defense can make a stop.

Sorry all, I want intending to start an SEC scheduling debate.

I was saying MSU is putting up as much of a fight as an FCS squad.

The turf at Wrigley is terrible.

There is no debate. The patsy game during the most exciting part of the season objectively sucks. It's like debating whether air exists. There is a clear right and wrong here.

There's less incentive to, though, lol.

Iowa looking rough early.  Already 7-0 Illinois, and Iowa just fumbled the snap on the punt, to give Illinois the ball just outside the red zone.

So you find it irritating when posters complain about things that they don't like about sports, but can't change?

Looks like Reed and Crouch both hurt?  The only thing worse than losing is losing your #1 WR and your fastest LB
Xavier Henderson out too.  Easily the best player on defense.

NU to open the 4th quarter facing 4th and 2, down 14.

Big down for both teams here.

Illini may have put game out of reach, up 10-0 on Iowa

No, the issue isn't playing them.  It's playing them the weekend before Thanksgiving.  I agree, college football needs to incentivize not doing it.  Everyone plays non con cream puffs in September.
