I more worried about controlling the controllables. Is this the best time for Brad to give into hubris, go into beast mode and fall back into the same mistake previous Illini coaches made, that is, the dreaded "to be the best you have to play the best" nonconference schedule? Can't our new...

Interesting that Bernstein finally came clean last summer about his relationship with NU. He admitted he was basically groomed (his own words) by Phillips and Fitz. Talked about being given courtside basketball seats for himself and his son by the AD with t-shirts hand-delivered by Fitz. Moment...

The Wheeler trial was covered by the Tribune - but not in the sports section. And it was buried well behind the front page, unlike most Illini v. NCAA sports stories.

Uh oh. Girlfriend has a list of demands too? Hate when that happens.

My main concern is that these European player(s) get cleared by the NCAA right away. If they don't, then banking one or two scholarships is risky, especially with the return of the "Masters of the Universe" scheduling attitude (always seems like Illini coaches over the years let success go to...

I like the fact that we have bye weeks before two crucial winnable games this year - Purdue and Michigan St., both at home.

And the band should learn the Serbian national anthem
