Because of the whole "Well we never lost in regulation" nonsense? A loss is a loss. It's not like the NFL where the first team to score wins it all. Both teams are given a chance to win and LSU blew it twice.
I missed the dialogue in the end when Dan and Jack were talking outside after they had taken Bennett out of the house. Could anyone tell me what was said?
But since Illinois is pretty highly regarded, Ohio State did not take a big hit in votes and managed to stay close enough that if one more team fall, they have the inside track on re-claiming a spot. Kind of like LSU having a shot up until the Arkansas game after the Kentucky loss.
As much as we have RB problems I would hope Bears solve the QB problem in the draft first. There should be a nice array of RBs available including Mike Hart, Steve Slaton, Ian Johnson, etc.
I cannot really accept that Shawn is done with Orton. He asks for a rematch, is denied, so he tucks his tail in between his legs and go away? I don't think so.
Fuck that. I want the red-faced dopes of Illini Nation to lose out, even though their football program isn't quite as odious as the basketball side of things. Where's the Chief?
What's wrong with Illinois? Though no I don't really want Illinois to make a BCS bowl game because they'd probably end up facing LSU in the Sugar Bowl and Kurt Kittner could tell you what a bad idea that is for the Illini.
