It's hard to take seriously a lecture on "Classy" from a guy in his 70's who does commercials for Hooters.

Looks like Greg Doyel is jumping on the misinformation train. He just tweeted that he hopes none of the transfers pick Illinois. Didn't offer an explanation, but it's not hard to guess why he said that. I'm on my phone otherwise I'd link it.

Well that's a d-bag comment.

Anyone here with twitter accounts should keep attacking their stupidity. Neither of those two are smart enough to realize or listen to the true story, but maybe they'll come up with a more logical reason to support their opinion. Doubtful though. Vitale needs to come up with something better than just repeating "VULTURES"

I've been retweeting all the condemnation about ESPN hiring Satan back to Dickie. According to Dickie, Illinois recruiting legally is classless, but ESPN hiring Satan is just another day at the office.

you should retweet all the stories about what actually happened to Dick and see what he says.

Good thing Urban Meyer has morals and doesn't "steal" recruits from other Big Ten schools. However, he did not say he wouldn't bring in kids that may like drugs. Looks like this player better be careful, so Meyer don't get rid of him. Ha ha ha.

I realize he can't control what a kid does, but we will see how he "disciplines" this player.

Oskeewowow and go Illini

Illini125 · Jul 31, 2012, 11:02 AM

Another transfer for PSU. LB Khairi Fortt to Cal.

Redd is supposedly making his decision tonight. Reports are that he's a lean to USC right now. Deleted his twitter account sometime recently, possibly as a preemptive strike against messages from angry PSU fans.

lstewart53x3 · Jul 31, 2012, 11:12 AM

Has anyone heard anything about the PSU guy that may be coming here?

Should hear something soon I would imagine since he finished his ASU visit last night or today.

Visited us, Washington and ASU. Should be deciding soon, I'd think.

Yeah. No cover up here. We just need to wait for all the criminal trials to be done. :rolleyes:

And even once risk-management assessments flagged Penn State's spotty record meeting the act's requirements, "awareness and interest in Clery Act compliance . . . remained significantly lacking," said Freeh.

"The university's incomplete implementation of the Clery Act was a contributing factor in the failure to report child sexual abuse committed by Sandusky," he said.

Police officer getting the response of "we don't have the money." Really? PSU had no money? Great excuse.

carmelillini · Jul 31, 2012, 03:01 PM

so have any of these PSU players made a decision to transfer yet?

(my bad.....I see some movement has occurred)

Illini125 · Jul 31, 2012, 03:44 PM

Redd to USC official. Good to hear. Helps us a ton for when we play them, and I'm all for them losing one of their best players with the way they've been the past week.

Great news about Redd! I agree with hoping they lose some key players after the behavior of their fans this week.

ETA: and the behavior of some mullet sporting players. Yes, I'm obsessed with their mullet obsession.

USC sent 6 coaches, cross country, to Silas Redd's house. Had to make a huge impact. IMO.

I wonder how this will be played in the media?

txillini · Jul 31, 2012, 04:07 PM

Someone needs to tweet that to Dickie. How classless!

RHITIllini · Jul 31, 2012, 04:08 PM

ESPN has lost a lot of respect from me this week.. bashing Illinois for following rules in recruiting a deep backup, lauding USC for such a great pickup, and they hired two absolute $H!t for brains announcers in Bruce Pearl and Jalen Rose.

Time to upgrade my cable package and get CBS College Sports.
