Meh. At least he didn't go to Wake Forest.

If you are cool with the statement then I am too.

Ugh. Why? This smells.

Dang. When Jay Bilas talks. I listen. Here's a quote...“This is an issue of bribery and enterprise corruption and people violating federal law in a scheme that deals with agents and shoe companies and the like. We’re dealing essentially with an underground economy. This is not what you deal with...

Anybody care to share the best highlight video of him? I have been afraid to look too hard until now.

Kudos to Cash for calling it two days ago. Extra Kudos to Cash for not coming on here to gloat about it. Even though he certainly has every right to do so. This is a great day to be an Illini!!

Sounds good. I hope Brooks Taylor Fan didn't move to Indy though. 😂

Heard it was because he didn't like Zorba's or Papa Del's. Quite the turn of events.

Well, good grief. Let's just bring back Dustin Ford so that Canadian pipeline can start flowing again. Or Paris because that was such a fruitful hire. We brought in a guy who can coach circles around Groce and we want to act like none of that was possible without his assistants? Yeah, ok.
