Not about McVay, of course not. I was more talking about Victory Illinois on twitter sucking people in with flightaware screen shots. One thing is for sure, flightaware will give you no insight into the coaching search. People before your post we’re speculating about who, legitimately, from...

JW blocks his flights from flightaware during coach searches and asks all candidates to do the same. No chance this flight had anything to do with football.

No chance.

If you watched the Spring Game I'm not sure you would have this take. Before Fink, we did not have a BIG Ten ready qb on the roster. Robinson and Taylor simply are not there yet. If you want to give IW the best chance to succeed you cannot just give him 3 weeks to learn a complex play book...

Hey guys, I think Lovie called for Mcglaughlin to intentionally not get a touchback on the first two kickoffs. And they ran one back, that question needs to be asked of him after the game. Seems like a stupid thing to do.

He said that, and it has been completely misunderstood. Since he was already in a graduate program at the University of Illinois, he was only eligible as a grad transfer if his scholarship was not renewed. So, when he told BU he wanted to transfer, his scholarship was subsequently not renewed...

I understand the point, and its a good one. However, I find the criticism of BU's sideline demeanor very similar to the old Bears fan criticism of Lovie Smith being too stoic on the sideline. The old, "fire and passion" argument. "Lovie is a bad coach because he is too laid back, he needs...

We absolutely handled this poorly, and are fortunate the kid stuck it out. The staff needs to clean this up now. It has been rumored that Williams is on the way out, which would be a plus given how he bungled this deal.

Was thinking the same thing. Not much talent left on the board and lots of spots, I'm good with 1 or 2 under the radar " diamond in the rough" guys, but I'm not buying that for the last 8 to 10 signings in the class.

I meant P5 offers. I mean we did beat out UCONN.

What? Made my point for me. Played at IMG, hard to get much more high profile than that and still no offers. I hope he's a great player, but don't tell me this was plan A, B,C or F for the staff, and if you don't think it's a coincidence that he commits right after Craddieth announces for...

Delano Ware. I think that's a good get, nice job staff. https://twitter.com/dware_nl/status/940034094745886724 https://247sports.com/college/illinois/Article/COMMIT-Illinois-Fighting-Illini-flip-El-Cerrito-safety-Delano-Ware-112007888

Werner just stated on his show that the Walker de-commitment was simply a grades thing. Staff can't say it, and Walker won't want to publicize it, but he did not get the grades he needed. Pretty simple, was not an ill-will thing between either side, doubt their is much ripple effect with other...

We miss Cam today, the QB run option would really help this stagnant offense. We are not going to have a passing game with the injuries and poor QB play, but a dual threat option would be one more element we don't have today.

Sad Illini fun fact: The last time our Illini defeated a Power 5 team that ended the year with a winning record was November 22 2014. The Reilly O'Toole David Reisner miracle vs. Penn State. More relevant to Indiana. No chance here, we cannot defend the spread. Credit to the staff, kids have...
