I thought that the change in quote at the base of your posts would be a hint, unfortunately, the quote is attributable to Beckman.

That was such a hell of on-field first impression. Stuffing in the Skoal while wearing those orange sunglasses with a visor. My god what a stooge.
Maybe a dress rehearsal should be a requirement?
I started dippin' skoal right after that game! jkjk
Random question how many of you guys liked Self when he was here?
What do you mean "liked?" Like thought he was a good basketball coach or admired and trusted him as a quality person?Random question how many of you guys liked Self when he was here?
I was a young kid and only aware that we had a good team. So yes. I liked Self while he was here..Random question how many of you guys liked Self when he was here?

Does it matter? point is he won and recruited well and people liked it no matter what he was doing off the court
As a person kinda not a huge fan, but it was really easy to put up with the talent he brought in and the winning he did.Random question how many of you guys liked Self when he was here?
Makes me feel like BB or Joey Freshwater is in the pipeline instead of Leipold.

Self was an absolute star. I was only 14 when he was hired so I don't know the details on his career but damn was he a good coach and recruiter.
Whats the reasoning?

I had read good things about him. Had success at Tulsa. I didn't hate KU yet, so his time there wasn't a concern, though I didn't know of the impropriates.Random question how many of you guys liked Self when he was here?

I did. I was in school then and those teams were a lot of fun to watch and root for.
I thought he presented himself in public like an elite coach of an elite program should. Behind the scenes wasn’t as visible then as it is now.Random question how many of you guys liked Self when he was here?

I took a leak next to Billy Self back when he was coach at 02 Main, before it was Guido's. I should point out, since some might ask, that it was in the bathroom in the urinal next to him. True story.
Fair, and like with Self when he was here or any coach winning can cover up a lot of warts on any pig. My big problem is unless Transfer market allows us to really make over the roster in 6 months there is going to be a lot of losing before any head coach can win here at Illinois.
Btw I am not even talking about his recruiting lol
