Get this from your perspective, why play an in-state mid-major that is occasionally good enough to maybe win especially on even home-and-home terms, but as a third party with nothing at stake it is pretty cool to see a team willing to do this.

Yeah, I guess it will earn us some props and potentially add to our strength of schedule. I'm just tired and bored of playing ECU -- especially when there's been virtually nothing to gain from it. Maybe the renewed emphasis on decent OOC opponents will make it a more valuable move.

Most of my exposure to Greenville was being pissed off at having to wait until after church for breakfast when coming back from my college-aged whiskey vision quests (blue laws).

But its actually gotten pretty awesome. Reedy Park is loving beautiful.

If you're cynical it's great for Illinois. They were going to win two games that they'll probably still win anyway and they don't have to pay the buyout they couldn't afford. They had to buy out Zook for $2.6M, Bruce Weber for $3.9M, and $620K to buy out their women's basketball coach. That's probably why they waited until they had a bulletproof case against him to fire him.

Illinois found Tim Beckman deterred injury reporting & influenced players to avoid or postpone medical treatment & continue playing

Good for them for dumping him even when the timing fucks them if this is true, and gently caress that dude.

I wanted the Beck Man to just be comically incompetent, not evil :(

That was almost as good a season as getting crushed by Saban and LSU in the Sugar Bowl, when Illinois won the conference outright , in this century nonetheless!

That period where we were letting Illinois, Purdue, and Northwestern occasionally win the conference was weird and should be expunged from the Big Ten record books imo

Oregon named FCS transfer Vernon Adams as the starting QB for the opener against his old team, Eastern Washington. Not a huge surprise but drat, that's gotta hurt for career clipboard holder Jeff Lockie, losing out to the guy that's been there for a week.

It could just be for this game, since the transfer QB probably has a better handle on E. Washington's defense than the Oregon coaches do.

Saw that. Sounds like it's prostate cancer & he's already receiving treatment. Not to poo-poo cancer, but as long as it remain localized, prostate cancer has a massive survival rate & is typically successfully treated.

Unless it is that one variant with like a 98% mortality rate. I hope he beats the gently caress out of it. Cancer can go blow a buckeye

He's doing a live presser now and keeps saying he's been given a "clean bill of health" by his doctors. I suppose that means that his treatment has been successful, at least so far.

If they were opening against Michigan State and had a Michigan State transfer that might make sense. But I doubt Oregon is scheming much for Eastern Washington.

I forget the specifics but Trent Dilfer was talking about this once and he said that because of the way pre-snap rules for alignments & whatever work, the offense will always be ahead of the defense in college because the defense basically has to show their hand, and so defense won't ever catch up under current ruleset.
