    OK, that one hurt. But I can't see it changing. Not without a 5 year bowl run. The top players in Illinois have never, ever, ever, ever, ever wanted to come to the flagship in-state school. Mainly for two reasons: 1) It ain't cool, man. What high school kid wants to deal with "you picked...

    For better or worse, Zook probably locked up 4 more years with the Wrigley win over Northwestern on Saturday. ~ Bowl game this year, so no chance of being fired. ~ We might be bowl eligible when we play you guys on October 15th next year. We start with Arkansas State, South Dakota State...

    We're 13 point underdogs.

    Just so you guys are aware... we switched your friend and mine Justin Green from running back to cornerback. Quick refresher: he switched from tOSU to Illinois because Zook promised him he'd let him play running back. And he did - even scored a few touchdowns last year. But with multiple...

    In short, yes. Especially a westward, football-centric expansion. Say they start slow, only add Nebraska, and split east/west. That makes the Big Ten West Nebraska, Minnesota, Iowa, Wisconsin, Northwestern, and Illinois. Big Ten West basketball champs from now until 2083. And it ain't bad...

    *bitter, pain-filled tears of sadness* Yeah but Scheelhaase could be Kellen Lewis with better... Martez Wilson was still a 5-star and has... Corey Liuget can... I think......... I got nuthin'. We got nuthin'. 4th or 5th best on-paper talent in the Big Ten, and I'm begging the football gods...

    Unfortunately, I don't think that's the case at all. The new offensive coordinator (Paul Petrino from Arkansas) and the new defensive coordinator (Vic Koenning from K-State/Clemson) were both given 2-year contracts. 7 of the 9 assistants are new next year, and all of them have multi-year...

    I'd take it. We haven't beaten them in Champaign since 1983. Yes, 1983.

    Just so you all know, this past Sunday evening, I had my come to Jesus moment regarding Ronald Zook. We will now do something stupid like win 4 of our last 6 and save Zook's job.

    I, however, am that one other guy. The one who takes vacation days to Camp Rantoul to see firsthand the battle for backup Sam linebacker. For the 41st time - you guys have no idea how good you have it.

    Maybe. But they didn't change the plays, terminology, or formations. Mike Schultz (TCU) came in having run basically the same offense and adapted to the Locksley terminology. Point being, I don't think any of the bad routes, skipped passes, and dropped balls can be put on the OC. It's like...

    I'm in favor of it.

    Juice has had four phases so far: Freshman season: Lost beyond belief. Missouri game through Ball State game in 2007: Solid spread option run decisions, but still only 100 passing yards per game. Minnesota game in 2007 (game before we beat tOSU) through Indiana game in 2008: "Will this guy make...

    Thanks. And a question for you outsiders from a depressed Illini: HOW IN THE NAME OF MELVIN FELLOWS CAN MY ILLINI GO FROM A TOP-20 OFFENSE TO A BOTTOM-20 OFFENSE WHEN 9 OF 11 STARTERS RETURNED, INCLUDING EVERY SINGLE SKILL PLAYER?? I can't figure it out. And I've spent maybe 3 hours per day...
