I am not panicked, but I am very concerned right now. This post is more self-therapy than anything else.
1. We need a Bowl in the worst possible way
2. I want to have a "developmental program" but not if the Illini will be developing for other programs. We will be the Rocket City Trash Pandas of the B1G.
3. I believe Bielema was a good hire in theory (and in still in fact), but I now a bit worried he was hired the wrong time. The landscape is radically different than merely a couple of years ago.
4. I also fear (20% chance) that Josh Whitman might have misdiagnosed how bad the program was and still is. A metaphor to explain this: James Andrews might be a renowned orthopedic surgeon but I don't think he would be able to administer chemotherapy properly.
5. Boy Ron Guenther was garbage and the damage he caused might still Oregon State the program...
