Oregon gonna upset Stanford

Illinois just fired Mike Thomas, their athletic director.

Freaking finally. Now for the university to somehow land an even less-qualified candidate.

Spurrier not attending UF/USC...that's sad...

Gotta beat the Knights this week. We can still make a Bowl

Why is Illinois football so mediocre? Huge state population, with what I'm sure pumps out a good share of high school talent. Do the other BIG TEN schools scoop them up or something? I've always wondered because they're so low key.

 

[No Fun Shogun]

Long story short, Illinois' incompetently run, both inside the athletic department and in the university at large.

That's really about it. Plus, they're more concerned about the ongoing state budget crisis than to focus on the intrinsic issues within the athletic department.

Do or die for the U at Chapel Hill on Saturday. I don't like their chances, much as I like how they've played since Golden went buh-bye.

Side note: The Corso Headgear Selection post takes a bye week this week, as I will be returning from a brief vacation Saturday. I know you are all bummed!

I will repost the one from James Madison because it was by far the best one this season

justice for those MIZZOU lads man no one should have to be subjected to a hostile environment. The students and faculty were really pissed so he had to go. No way he was keeping his job.

Hopefully the environment will be more conducive to racial discourse and acceptance

What is all this noise out of Missouri?

What is all this noise out of Missouri?

Students feel the response to racial incidents by the administration have been handled poorly and there were hunger strikes.

 

[Sports Enthusiast]

What racial incidents? But if the roles were reversed and about white people you think they'd care? Not to nitpick but I'd suspect the majority of football rosters are black. I mean look at the NFL. With the exclusion of QB most of the top skilled players at the big positions aren't white.

 

[spintheblackcircle]

except they never are about white people.

 

[Sports Enthusiast]

There are too. Its just not newsworthy because in 1950 and before and all that racism was a one way street as we historically know. It goes both ways but nobody cares because there's no historical significance of racism on white individuals. Being a white male every double standard is against you.

 

[nyrleetch]

Has Delaney been fired yet? (y/n)

 

[Halladay]

Do these students really think replacing one person will solve everything?

 

[Sports Enthusiast]

I don't know but they get this feeling of empowerment that their voice was heard. Doesn't change though that they are a means to an end. They bring the university $$$$. At days end that's all that matters from the powers perspective.

I still don't know what exactly the president was meant to do about some isolated incidents, half of which could have been hoaxes for all you know.

I mean, if I get robbed somewhere in the U.S., is it Obama's fault because he allowed the "atmosphere" to exist where I could get robbed or is it the robber's fault?

I understand though that some faculty and students at the school were pretty unhappy with him for unrelated administrative reasons and that they kinda jumped on this train to get rid of him.

One thing I learned a long time ago is that in university disputes like that, perspective and nuance go out the window very quickly as these kids and their adult enablers all think they're changing the world by doing sit-ins in the dean's office about what ice cream brand they're selling in the school cafeteria.

Bingo. People are responsible for their actions. The actions of others aren't the president's fault and chances are he didn't see any of the incidents. So it becomes his word against his word. Hard for the president to form an opinion just on hearsay.

Wasn't the one student who they actually could put a face & name to the action expelled for it?

Won't make their football team better.

Back to Football -

Tough game in Starkville for us. I never enjoy going to Mississippi, especially against a team that has had a few extra days to rest and prepare for us.

Scary game in my opininon, but it's not so often that Saban throws up a stinker, so I'm going to say the Tide prevails. 23-14
