Chuck Nuggets
Dip your nuggets in my staff source sauce.
What makes it sadder is I'm not sure a win would have changed the trajectory one bit. But the trophy would be nice.
I was sitting about 3 blocks away in the Edward Jones Dome, but as God is my witness, I thought Luther's 3 was going in that would have put us ahead late.
I have the game on DVD, but have never watched it once.
Even so, it was a great experience with my 14 year old son and my old college roommate and his 16 year old son.
I know women and men are different, but suggest analyzing aspects of Mulkey's LSU integration of players rapidly for a Championship.In the past, college basketball was cyclical. You’d start building a team today that could compete as juniors and seniors 3-4 years from now. Most coaches (and fans) would be willing to have a bad year now in pursuit of a great year a few years from now.
Today, that’s almost impossible. 80-90% of the freshman you have now will gone by their Junior/Senior year.
So you can’t plan ahead. Instead, you’re forced to build individual teams year to year.
That’s hard enough, but the bigger problem is, when you don’t assemble the right team, there’s no pay off; you weren’t building towards anything.
I do not envy D1 head coaches right now.

My opinion here, but she’s like a top 3 women’s coach of all time. She has the knowledge/experience, the credentials to demand and receive buy-in, and the icing the cake, probably a little dash of extra passion to do it for her home state.I know women and men are different, but suggest analyzing aspects of Mulkey's LSU integration of players rapidly for a Championship.
It would be a great case study.
Same here. It exists only as a distant memory, becoming more nebulous each passing day.I don't think I will ever be able to watch it again.
I wish someone could post a list (or grid) of our players who will be back next year (including incoming freshmen and Moretti.)
I was in the delivery room watching as my son was born. The nurses had to tell us to keep it down after he was born....I was sitting about 3 blocks away in the Edward Jones Dome, but as God is my witness, I thought Luther's 3 was going in that would have put us ahead late.

Thanks for the grid, but that sure is a lot of "crossing off." And I'm wondering why Moretti's name is nowhere to be found.
Scholarship Grid
I am certain I do not know about scholarship terms anymore. I have been curious about why coaches don't give a scholarship to a walk-on if it unused? Can it be a 1 year, then we'll see next year? Is there some other university enrollment rules that have to be considered? I know that the...www.illinoisloyalty.com
Cross off Lieb, RJ, Skyy, Epps, Perrin from the 2023-2024 column. Add Moretti. So 4 roster spots available. 3 if you include TSJ coming back.
Moretti came into the picture after that iteration of the grid was made.Thanks for the grid, but that sure is a lot of "crossing off." And I'm wondering why Moretti's name is nowhere to be found.
It will be a short list. Even our walk-ons are transferring out.I wish someone could post a list (or grid) of our players who will be back next year (including incoming freshmen and Moretti.)
I can’t…It will be a short list. Even our walk-ons are transferring out.
I think that would still leave one open scholarship.....

But turkeys can fly? Am I missing something here?
One of the greatest lines in TV history
Having experienced WKRP is one of the things that is proof that our generation will live a much fuller life than today's kids.

Yeah, Sean May was allowed to plow through our defenders like a fullback, while Augie got whistled for touch fouls.But turkeys can fly? Am I missing something here?
Refs calling ticky tac fouls on Augustine took that trophy away from us.....
I feel your pain. Time and again, in the post, May simply lowered his shoulder and drove it into Augie's or the Rev's chest. I think more than that, the offensive player gets called for a charge when that happens. It just drove me crazy watching May get away with that. Not to mention the fact it prevented us from winning the nat'l title. I don't usually criticize refs (I was one for 12 yrs.), but in this case, my partner Dave and I would have whistled May for charging each time he tried to get away with that.Yeah, Sean May was allowed to plow through our defenders like a fullback, while Augie got whistled for touch fouls.
I can feel my blood pressure beginning to rise just thinking about it…
As for the turkeys question, I suggest you check out the whole episode:

89 felt like we were beaten by a very good team that played slightly better than us that night. 2005 felt like the 8 we played against had predetermined the outcome.I have a DVD "A Season To Remember". Always hate the ending. Yes, Dee the best. And yes, I think anyone who watched that final could see May played like a tight end. Loss to Michigan in '89 was tough, too.
And to top it off finding out that the NC players didn’t have to go to class.89 felt like we were beaten by a very good team that played slightly better than us that night. 2005 felt like the 8 we played against had predetermined the outcome.
