Well guys, it will be interesting to see how this all pans out. I can't fault people for not wanting him on their team. I do know that when the Cubs got Alrodis Chapman there were conflicting thoughts about getting him. But when the Cubs won the world series that year it seems that all Cub fans forg...

Should the Bears go after ex-Chief RB Hunt? He will not play this year but somebody is going to sign him next year. The Bears could treat this situation like the Cubs have with Addison Russell. I know there would be some fallout from some fans, but young people make mistakes and hopefully learn fro...

Hey anybody, I just have a quick question about yesterdays game that has rolled around my empty mind. Why didn't Nagy go for two when the Bears scored on the last play of the game? Nagy seemed to project a "river boat gambler" type of attitude in other games where he went for two at the beginning of...

A HUGE collective yawn about Hoiberg being fired... :snooze Nobody really liked Hoiberg as an NBA coach and he should've stayed at the college level where he was a decent coach. Most felt that Hoiberg was simply biding time for the franchise the last few years until the Bulls could get some players....

I always thought eight teams would be reasonable with the five power conferences getting their champions in. I would also cut the season back to eleven games if they did an expanded playoff system...

Illinois didn't get in?

Vikings lost today - good news for the Bears. Minny also has to go TO Seattle next week, that will be a tough game with the surging Seahawks. I expect both Bears and Vikings to lose next weekend. Then Bears will be 8-5 while Vikings will be 6-6-1. All the Bears has to do then is beat 49ers at San Fr...

Just hope the Vikings will lose to the Pats and keep game and half behind. I still think the Bears can beat the Packers at home and the 49ers to go 10-6 and win the division. Even if the Bears go 9-7, I think can nab a wild card. Of course all of this is if Trubisky can come back. Any news how bad h...

That is a real shame BB. A little sticker shock today, I paid $2.50 for PJS - mostly for the sports but also to read about some local stuff. I got though the sports section in two minutes! :D The lost of Aaron Fergunson is huge - that young man really did a great job of covering local high schools. ...

Yea! I can't wait to see Pekin develop heated rivalry with Quincy :td It will be great to see the stadium fill up when Collinsville shows up. I can only imagine the hundreds of fans from Alton that will make the trek to old Memorial stadium... :D Pekin fans can only hope the enrollment keeps droppin...

BTW, Don't know how good Dunlap is this year, but Pekin played well at Dunlap last night with a 15 point victory. Team shot ball well. Patrick Torrey (6'7-6'8) center for Pekin was a beast with 23 points and 17 rebounds (8 offensive). He has really improved the last two seasons and might be one of t...

Question for the posters: I no longer subscribe to the PJS for a multitude of reasons. Where can i find (on-line) the mid illini basketball scores, results, records, schedules, etc....IHSA does not list basketball results to my knowledge.....Help! As some of you know, I live in Chicago but visit fa...

Did I hear that right. Ohio St. has won last 14 of 15 meetings between these two??

Harbargh is now 0-4 against OSU while Meyers is 7-0...

Young Guns, I hope you are right! Have a nice Thanksgiving...would be nice to eat a family Thanksgiving dinner with a BEAR WIN!

Must win on Thur. against Detroit to keep the momentum , the defense needs to stop the Lions offense and keep them under 20 points. I do agree, the defense is going to have to win this game in my opinion. Important game but not must win. If Bears did win it would certainly increase their chance to ...

butter.... butter...... PARKAY!!!!!

That's actually not bad!

I think the Bears would be wise to rest Trubisky tomorrow so he is ready for the final stretch. With the Packers, Rams and Vikings coming up they will need Trubisky at full strength The Bears should have no trouble with the Lions if the D keeps playing the way they have been. Plus Daniel is one of ...

Mid State, you bring up another good point - I never thought about what the parents have to go through if they want to see the kid play!

Didn't know where to put this. I was going to post on girls basketball but nobody seems to go there! :D But since this issue affects both boys and girls basketball, I will put it here. Last week the Pekin girls team played in the Macomb tournament. For the tournament, they played five games in six d...

This might be the year for Metamora depending on how well Hall comes back from his injury. Washington will always be in the mix even though they have a young team. Anyone know anything about Morton? With Limestone, you never know what transfers might have come into the program. But the Rockets have ...

That kind of blows my mind - why would show up at a game your son is playing in wearing your ref outfit? I have never heard of anything like this....

Wouldn't be bad with a short week to rest Trubisky. After Thanksgiving the Bears will have ten days before next game. Hopefully his shoulder can heal and be ready for the stretch run. I think a concern would be how serious is the injury since its on his throwing shoulder? Sometimes the injury can be...

Crazy story - I had heard he was actually dressed as a ref for the game? :D Seriously, don't know if it's true but if it is why is he showing up as a ref for a game he's not a ref in? The email thing seems like a fake account but who knows? Tempers and accusations fly over stuff like this but its wo...
