Shocking !
JG handles himself fabulously again.
From talking about the Braggin' Rights game to naming Flying Illini players by memory to dealing with "getting dirty recruiting in Illlinois". He just never misses a step.

What a coach.

thanks, Dan. Great quote from Coach Groce in that interview: "Sometimes I think we get too caught up on who we don't get rather than on who we DO get."

Coach Groce is a great interview. He's succinct, direct, he answers the questions that are asked (contrast with recent interviews with Coach "we gotta move forward" Beckman), and his passion never seems to waiver.

Coach Groce represents the University as I wish everyone did. If you didn't know any better, you would assume that he bled O&B his entire life.
