I want to get all of our BIG10+ games but am having a devil of a time registering to do so. I can't seem to start a new subscription from scratch, or re-set a password on the old account I used last year. When I try to do it the website keeps saying they'll send me an email but nothing appears...

This game to me neutralizes most of the heartache from our MD loss earlier this year. Similar scores, similarly decided in the last seconds, but -- hallellujah! -- dissimilar results. At MD, we had that game won, and by rights should have taken it. In this one, MI had the game won, and by...

1st Loss Where we're favored One of the most discouraging aspects of last nite's game to me, was that we were favored and lost for the first time this season (I think). All our other losses we were underdogs. All our other wins -- with one exception -- we were favored. The lone exception was...

Rock, do you know what time Sunday morning? I want to do this, too; but when I clicked the link I couldn't even find the game live in the Sat listings, and could find no reference to any replays of FUTURE games.

Zone Against Us? I didn't see the Southern game, and have only glanced thru the BU videos on the spread and his offensive scheme. So maybe FiveStar or someone else could tell me: Can the offense we run now work against zones? I would imagine some parts of it might. I do think, based on the...

Two guesses: (1) Pres. John Tyler? (2) Tyler Griffey?

I wouldn't say "tremendous support." IIRC, initially, his recruiting chops and MW ties were certainly acknowledged to be a "natural fit" for the post. But soon after, a lot of critics surfaced pointing out his less-than-stellar record, given the high-caliber players he recruited. And the...

Matt Dienart has posted projected rankings and rationale for next season. He has Illini at #11, primarily becuse it's "a transition year." Dunno if I agree with our low ranking, but I can see where non-Illini fans might place us like this. His reasoning for his choices seem accurate to me...

A Few Observations 1. While it's true we played great defense in many ways, our FG percentage allowed -- which was great in the past four games -- was pretty high. MSU hit 48%. Other aspects of the D were better. Some of their turnovers were off steals we made. 2. Speaking of our D, it...

Lurk Long, Thanks for doing the research on Keats' ties to our area. As you enjoy saying, at least we have some data to go on. It would be nice to learn that maybe he's got a cousin or something that lives in the City, teaches at Simeon or Whitney Young, and/or a former coach who's still...

Keatts MW/Chicago Ties? Have tried hard to keep up with this thread but don't remember anyone addressing this. Many posters have cited the above as "one of the boxes to be checked" in a coaching search. Seems to me that Keatts' resume shows nothing to suggest he has ties to the State, the...

Replay? Does anyone know if regular BTN (or any other source) will have a replay of this game?? They did for the first two this season.
