I noted that, too, and thought "Pay no attention to that stadium behind the curtain. I am the great and powerful Tank"I especially liked the one of Tank Wright, which had goal posts with Michigan pads on them and brick walls that match those of the Big House.
That's Zapruder film quality analysis you did there!Wait one second...are you telling me Nike doesn't make a white Illinois polo with a horizontal stripe of a slightly different shade of white where the Nike and block I logos are?

Bielema will be more involved than he was in the past but he won’t be calling the defense. To my knowledge at least.Since it's going to be Bielema's defense anyway regardless of who has the title of DC, I hope that the coach that does get the DC role is first and foremost a recruiter.
Nate WoodyI need at least 1 more completely unsubstantiated rumor on dc before we get an announcement. Anyone able to scrape anything from the bowels of Illini Twitter?
I believe it’s his cousin NormanJust getting the ink to dry ...
Todd Bates
Adam Gase.I need at least 1 more completely unsubstantiated rumor on dc before we get an announcement. Anyone able to scrape anything from the bowels of Illini Twitter?

That's an outstanding trio. Can't go wrong there. And Football Scoop knows what they're talking about, expect it to be one of those.Here’s our finalists for DC. Seems like over 800k+ will be allocated here:

Makes sense after he swing for the fences out of the gate, not bad fall back options. 2 current P5 DCs and 1 fcs head coach0440 - This match up with the bits of info you’ve heard?
Am I wrong to think those 3 are as good or better at dc as Robinson? Clearly not the recruiter he is, but in terms of running a defense.Makes sense after he swing for the fences out of the gate, not bad fall back options. 2 current P5 DCs and 1 fcs head coach
Probably not. I don’t know how much of the defense was Muschamp at SCAm I wrong to think those 3 are as good or better at dc as Robinson? Clearly not the recruiter he is, but in terms of running a defense.
I think Walter's would be alright considering he surely has a lot of relationships with midwest players as far as recruiting and Mizzou has had good def under himHere’s our finalists for DC. Seems like over 800k+ will be allocated here:
