Listened to Sportstalk on WDWS this morning. A few listeners called in upset about Softball (I agree!). One listener mentioned Jenna Hall (former Illini) is the head coach at Ohio (2x MAC coach of the year and 4 straight 30+ win seasons). If Whitman decides to make a move, I'd suspect she'd...

0-5 start w/2 losses via mercy rule is not a good start and makes me wonder if Whitman needs to consider a change in leadership. Only one NCAA appearance since 2019.

Unrelated to College carousel, but diving in to the High School carousel with a couple of former Illini coaches: https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/nfls-lovie-smith-son-miles-151056789.html

TIL. Stein was Lunney's pass game coordinator at UTSA (and Lunney's replacement at OC after Lunney left for Illinois).

With USC, PSU, and OSU on bye and no marquee matchups across the B1G, it's difficult to predict how the networks will select October 25 games (I would not be surprised if networks exercise their 6-day option to see the outcome of this week's matchups). My best guess: CBS @2:30 pm CT ILL@Wash...

Total speculation: - Kansas in KC (Since 2021, KU has played in KC every other year and BU seems to enjoy playing in KC), return game in Chicago in 2026. - Home and home w/Louisville (ACC moving down to 18 conference games will open additional non con options; Louisville is not committed to a...

Curious: Does anyone know how TSJ's legal team received access to the accuser's text messages?

Did Julian Pearl sign anywhere? He was projected to go in the 6th-7th round in most mock drafts. Seems stranger for a combine invitee and projected pick to have no options.

College attractiveness ratings per @TJAltimore: I would expect UIUC to do well in all categories except the most important, football.

Is Reggie Love playing?

Bart Miller was his lead recruiter. Could this decommitment be related to future changes on the offensive coaching staff? Bielema seemed very dissatisfied with the offense during Friday's post-game press conference.

Does anyone have more information regarding the Fighting Illini Showcase MTE? Opponents? Date? https://www.bloggingthebracket.com/2023/4/4/23665918/2023-24-mens-college-basketball-exempt-multi-team-events-mte-thanksgiving-early-season-tournaments Does this mean we won't be attending any other...

Big win tonight! Hopefully get another one tomorrow. Looks like there's a Las Vegas Illini Crew headed to Ann Arbor: https://flightaware.com/live/flight/PEG9/history/20221119/0545Z/KLAS/KYIP
