Something Clever

Looking good so far, but Oregon's a second half team...

Wow, think Oregon misses Carrington now? Terrible drop

Bah! Almost

Ugly, ugly win, but I'll take it. Good job boys

Very sloppy 2nd half for both teams

 

Up 28-22 at half. Can't say I'm all too impressed with Illinois so far. Of course, watch them now come out on fire in the 2nd half

They are missing there best player.

 

They also beat a very good Maryland team without Rice

Up 28-22 at half. Can't say I'm all too impressed with Illinois so far. Of course, watch them now come out on fire in the 2nd half

Illinois really doesn't have a lot of offensive variety, they just throw up threes and hope they get hot

Score update? Don't have cable nor enough data

16-13 good guys, 11 min left in first half

Lol, both teams just jacking up threes early. Don't expect that to go away

and previous opponent Rutgers takes down our next opponent Wisconsin

We've finally found a sloppier team than ourselves!

Mike Riley being interviewed.

Robinson is straight up gushing about him

Now we're cooking, finish the half strong

Stupid overtime, what conference is this even?

What, specifically, should the general population do to "support the troops?"

Knapp, the whole thing is a call-to-arms about no longer tolerating the status quo due to either disinterest or fear of PR backlash. It’s a repudiation of the casual attitude most have when it comes to armed conflicts as well as an honest look at military culture and leadership. I’ve been in the military for the past 7 years and can say that the constant adulation does wonders for the dbags that join simply to get their butts kissed but it does nothing for responsible public awareness of what’s actually going on most of the time. There is a serious issue with defense spending today (even at the lower levels I could give you at least a dozen stories) and how out-of-control it really is, to say nothing of the blatant abuse of spending/decision making at higher levels. Naïve? Of course, but it still doesn’t change the fact that we all must become better citizens (military & civilian) and hold our leaders to better standards.

All I could think about when reading about the rather superficial relationship most civilians tend to have with vets/the military was this:

Well crap, our inability to finish games is killing us

B1G might be doing better, but Iowa is still Iowa

Despite their best efforts, tOSU wins, holy crap

Not sure that was a smart play. Run the ball and kill some clock

If they blow it it will be because of that call

What kind of call was that Herman?!

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
