Thad just put this: Just the beginning........

Whatever - he is trash his whole family is trash & you are trash for not trashing him. Our revenue programs may be trash but fandom is life. It's trash like this that is keep us from being more than trash. One day we will rise but you will all still be trash. For the record - this response...

Absolutely! However, I can't ignore the reality of the poop pile we were. The encouraging part is that those days of 0 expectations are over! I truly hope that we never enter a season merely hoping for over 4 wins.

It baffles me that people are upset with this move. If memory serves roughly 3 years ago: *We fired complete moron of a coach for cause amid embarrassing allegations from former players. *We fired a completely incompetent AD who had alienated donors & alumni & due to lack of funding we...

I got it .... The Coaches have been watching these NBA Dream Team's coming together & are looking to form their very own. Billy Donovan is coming to IL & he is bringing Coach K as his Associate; Izo is going to be the assistant handling the gamelans; & ole Bill Self is the lead recruiter.

Rumor was that he was interested in us way back when. Of course then he went & won like 2 or 3 games at Florida. I think that is part of what fuels the hope. I don't care if the rumors were true or not I want to believe. Honestly, I don't see it happening.

IMO - 1. Bennett is not coming 2. Lon is what 62??? I love him but Can't See It 3. Donovan would be a Grand Slam - but he is not a P5 guy anymore. He would be THE guy that is worth whatever it takes. My 2 big of a dream so no way it happens guy. Of course we have JW so I expect the...

Names people ... I need realistic names! I can't help but want to know who was contacting JW over the last few months. Just Monty's people or :eek:Others? Also, someone tell me we have a realistic chance with Archie!!! ----JKat?

If Archie is in play you push all the chips to the middle!!! I would, however, be surprised if he is in play. How different is it with JW at the helm. It is amazing that I am expecting to be shocked in a good way with this hire. I hope to be soon saying: "We got WHO - Him really?!?!"...

Trying to do 2 things at once & I haven't had enough coffee yet

I like how they break it down here: http://uillinois_microsites.sidearmsports.com/football/signingday/2017/

Hmmmm!

The winter replacement for Kool-Aid!

I have been pro J Grove all the way, but if he can't get this Senior led team to execute then we have a huge problem. Winthrop had a guy pull crap out of his rear, but we were still up 10 late in the game & didn't execute. W Virg is a talented team but we keep doing the same thing everytime...
