Illinois has sold about 5,000 Texas Bowl tickets

Last I heard, and it's been a few days, the school has sold about 5,000...

From what I understand, Ron Guenther will talk to the media about football after the season ends. I asked multiple times to talk to him during the season and was told it wasn't going to happen. He isn't comfortable with the press, which is a shame because he has great knowledge of the Big Ten and Illinois and comes across very well in interviews.

I talked to the Baylor athletic director for a story that will run next week. He was very at ease talking to me and even joked about a few things. He's more of the new wave of athletic directors. That's the type of guy who I believe will someday replace Ron Guenther.
