Man up from the line

Agree with this. The effort level (lack there of) became apparent after a few years. A lot of damage done to be fixed. I hope BB is the right guy.

Ha! Now that’s funny. We got an enforcer I guess...

In almost all cases I also hate when the announcers talk also.

What’s the track record with football coaches at the U of I... Basketball is always second to football at Texas, that’s the culture. Does that make for a bad place to coach~ I don’t know.

Above is correct-- I build in both Champaign and Austin. Austin is a wonderful city- I don't go to either downtown often (homeless, parking hassles....) You figure out the traffic- that's a non issue (Awesome places are busier than non awesome places). I'm not sure what the draw would be for...

We were soundly defeated by this?

Agree- where are the results

Rebounding changes everything. With it you are in games, you can make up for poor shooting and you can limit the other teams opportunities. Izzo figured it out years ago. Glad we made rebounders a priority.

I haven’t heard the words “Josh Whitman is smarter than any of us” for a long time.... He was (is) a young hire from a division 3 school who had (has) a lot to prove. Next to Thomas he looks like a genius but giving him credit before success doesn’t help him grow into the AD we all hope he...

My hands are down on both. With Zook I was long aware of the irrelevance of Illinois football and we weren’t going to get the total package in a coach. I was happy with Zooks recruiting and would have been happy to have him stay but spend his fall saturdays skiing at lake Shelbyville and...

I agree~ in life the results are what matter and the results on the recruiting trail leave a lot to be desired. As important as coaching is, without recruiting talent it’s an exercise in futility.

Well~ I had to chuckle many times in the past on this forum when it was consistently stated that Josh is the smartest man in the room. I think it’s been exposed that he’s a regular guy doing a hard job and what he does with Lovie and his replacement will tell if he’s qualified to be a big 10...
