And yet, here we are.

So the first post I saw was this one. Then went back and caught up with what I missed, which was the post about BB being down 60 pounds.
Imagine my disappointment that I didn't see a before and after pic like Fletch does for the basketball players.
Has Peacock announced the games they are broadcasting?
The only one i see we could possibly be on is Fl Atl

Our defensive backfield did pretty OK without him.
I am fine with him filling an entry-level office role.
If that is your standard than you probably do not like BB either. Life goes on. Do not burn your bridges, because you might need to cross them again. I am sure the UI in both men have two great quality representatives. In fact BB is willing to hire men who can help this program i.e. the former Wisconsin coach and now the recruiting assistant. Expanding a recruiting base is not a bad idea at all.

It's like one of those movies where in order to catch the master criminal the feds need to go get the guy who has been rotting in prison for 30 years because he knows how to think like a master criminal.
If we want to cure ABI, we need someone who understands it from the inside.
I'm not sure we should be questioning BB's hires. He's proven to do nothing but win on that end if you ask me!
What does one have to do with the other?
It’s an entry level position for a kid who wants to get into the profession. Oh that kids dad is also an illini legend who is also an analyst on Big ten network…..no brainer.
Would you really have wanted to play for Lovie and Miles?

yea, I can’t really blame them that much for steering clear from us in those times .
Lovie hardly had the best track record with Illinois preps.
Between the legs dunk is the “cool” touchdown celebration.
Don’t get me wrong, I understand. My wife would agree with you, that I am not always rationale.
I guess I am a little butt hurt he chose ND over us, especially based on legacy. I would be able to swallow this a lot better if it happened 5 years down the road as opposed to immediately after his eligibility is complete.I don’t disagree, I trust BB completely, but it can still hurt a little, can’t it?
Very true. I guess, I am just the jealous type!

ABI is Demolition Man? Does that make ABI, Wesley Snipes?
QB play is a lot lower on my list of concerns going into the season, below things like:
Secondary outside of Taz
Right side of OL
Inside LB
TE depth
I don't know enough to comment on the first 3 items (i.e. you could be spot on), but if TE depth is ever more important than (or even remotely close to as important as) the play of the starting QB, it will be the first time in the history of college football.
I think if you think of it in the context of "Hey TE play was kind of not there last year too" it makes sense to me. We have precedent for a QB coming in and picking up the Lunney system pretty decently in year one.
I can't even remember the last time a TE was a big part of the offense in the passing game. Blocking wise I thought our TE's were pretty solid.
