THE WINDY CITY WEEKLY: BEARS LOSS PAINFUL; CUTLER CONTROVERSY JUST PLAIN STUPID
Posted on 26 Jan 2011 by Kevin Scholla.
Oh so close. One win away from the Super Bowl. The Bears almost pulled it off, after many ‘experts' picked them to finish well under .500. But in the end it's Green Bay moving on and the Bears left with a bitter hibernation ahead. Before we get into the game itself, I have to address all of this Jay Cutler garbage. That's what it is. Pure trash. The man was injured during th...

WANTED: Defensive Coordinator
Posted on 25 Jan 2011 by Christopher Rowe.
Green Bay's Tramon Williams intercepts pass intended for Eagles Riley Cooper Two weeks ago, the Eagles 2010 season was over, thanks to a loss at the hands of the Green Bay Packers. Those same Packers will now represent the NFC in Super Bowl XLV. Meanwhile the Eagles have been busily reworking their coaching staff. Defensive Coordinator Sean McDermott was first to go, followed quickly by def...

STATE OF THE WILDCATS
Posted on 8 Jan 2011 by Ben Chiswick.
New Year’s is always an exciting time. We reminisce about the conquests and failures of the past year while looking ahead optimistically to the prospects the next 365 days may bring. It is a time of reflection. What went wrong? What went right? What totally came out of left field to catch everybody by surprise? It is a time of forecasting. How can we improve? What changes do we have to make t...

PSU loses bowl and QB
Posted on 5 Jan 2011 by Stephanie Geosits.
The denizens of Happy Valley are still licking their wounds after Florida ran away with the Outback Bowl. By throwing no less than five picks, QB Matt McGloin was the Gators' most effective passer. They had three in their own uniforms, too. But almost more important than the defeat the Nittany Lions suffered was the word from Robert Bolden's father that he would be transferring. As a true fresh...

ANOTHER BOWL GAME, ANOTHER TOUGH LOSS FOR THE ‘CATS
Posted on 2 Jan 2011 by Ben Chiswick.
Well, it was a tough end to a tough year. During the regular season, the Northwestern Wildcats rose as high as 7-3 with a signature win against a top-15 opponent. But the inability to hold big leads against Michigan State and Penn State followed by a season-ending injury to First Team All Big-Ten quarterback Dan Persa led to a relatively disappointing finish at 7-5 overall and just 3-5 – tied...

Pittsburgh: New Year, New Goals
Posted on 2 Jan 2011 by Michael Waterloo.
Each and every new years, people all over the world set out goals for themselves that usually don't come true. As sports fans, we have expectations and hopes for our teams leading into each season they start. Pittsburgh is a wonderful, successful city when it comes to innovation and sports. We expect the best and only the best from our teams. If the Steelers are 15-1, we say they should...

‘Bama scores early and often, routs MSU 49-7 in Orlando
Posted on 2 Jan 2011 by Dave Thomas.
Mark Ingram tallies one of his two TD's on the day in 'Bama's rout of Michigan State./Associated Press If the Alabama Crimson Tide were looking to make a statement in their final game of the 2010 college football season, well, they certainly get an A+ in that category. Alabama (10-3), the defending 2009 national champion and pre-season No.1, scored early and often en route to an eas...

Daniels Comes Up Big To Close Out 2010
Posted on 1 Jan 2011 by Brian Joyce.
Sophomore quarterback B.J. Daniels ( 20/27 189 yards, 2 TD) threw two touchdown passes and ran for another touchdown as the Bulls pulled off the upset yesterday in Charlotte, N.C. Daniels was starting for the first time in thirty four days ( he got hurt at Miami on Thanksgiving weekend ) and earned the MVP honors in yesterday's 31-26 win over Clemson in the Meineke Car Care Bowl played at...

JoePa vs. Urban, and two football teams, too
Posted on 31 Dec 2010 by Stephanie Geosits.
With the news coming out Tampa this past week, you have to wonder if there will actually be a bowl game played or just two guys bantering about their futures. Joe Paterno, who just turned 84, has spent the past two weeks disputing wild reports that he's in terrible health and will retire imminently. Actually, he kind of hinted he would be around until he turns 90 – at least. Meyer, on the...

GOING BOWLING IN DALLAS
Posted on 30 Dec 2010 by Ben Chiswick.
Bowl season is upon us. For the Northwestern Wildcats, that means a chance to play on New Year’s Day. Never mind that the Ticket City Bowl isn’t exactly dripping with prestige. The Cotton Bowl Stadium in Dallas is a historic venue with a lot of tradition. Over the years, it has hosted more college bowl games than any venue other than the Rose Bowl. And the bottom line is this: Heading into ...

The Bell Helicopter Armed Forces Bowl: Army-SMU
Posted on 29 Dec 2010 by Donald Lappe.
It has been an interesting season for the Army football program. With six wins, the Black Knights are in a bowl game for the first time since 1996. There have been big wins, missed opportunities, and a few bad defeats, but the program is clearly moving forward. The tilt with SMU presents a chance to get a bowl victory, which would be a nice feather in Rich Ellerson's cap. When and Where: Thursd...

Five Eagles Named to Pro Bowl
Posted on 29 Dec 2010 by Christopher Rowe.
Michael Vick, DeSean Jackson, Jason Peters, Asante Samuel & David Akers were voted onto the starting NFC Pro Bowl squad. Obviously the Super Bowl teams affect who will actually represent the NFC in the Pro Bowl. Let's hope the Eagles players are still focused on the Super Bowl in Dallas, not distracted by the Pro Bowl in Hawaii (2010 Pro Bowl was played in Miami but Hawaii has reaffirmed t...
