We always need someone from Peoria Manual

Seton Hall at Illinois 2003

Did anyone notice Malcom, Dee, Deon, Gill, and Battle have all welcomed Mark Smith to the family?

So if Mark Smith picks Illinois, and Tilmon rerecommits to Illinois does S&C have to apologize to Walker in person?

Not this stuff again. So we could've had a mediocre year with some talented freshmen not living up to their potential. Then we could've held onto their coach another year because he had a lot of youth that just didn't know how to win yet. Followed by another mediocre year, but we convinced a...

My opinion, from what I overheard and based upon quotes we've seen from Mark himself, is that we are on equal footing. I can't assume it's good news for us, purely in that it's 2 HOF coaches; a blue blood, and a slight step below blue blood programs. I'd guess we have as much of a chance as...

Never turned around. Didn't want to give away my eavesdropping.

TIFWIW Just overheard a conversation at a Saluki baseball game. Guy claims to have talked directly with Mark Smith's dad. Claimed Mark had claimed the only 2 teams he'd let in on the recruitment at this point in time was Kentucky and MSU, and of course we all know now that those 2 have jumped...

Watching this LaLu game. Brian Bowen? Yes please. If for no other reason than we can pair his hair up with Frazier's.:D

Speaking of Monte, don't know if anyone has posted this video. It's probably better as a new thread but it won't let me start one. Serge, Frank, and Grif give an interview http://www.week.com//story/35009015/4-ever-champions-sergio-marcus-and-frankie#.WNnVVSPGgUg.twitter

I have to admit I wouldn't be upset if this caused Northwestern to lose their official NCAA tournament bid and then gets sanctions causing Collins to leave and Northwestern to go right back to their rightful place of irrelevance.

Interesting article. While we obviously use ticket, jersey, etc sales to separate ourselves somewhat, it's pretty obvious from this article just how much BTN affects the conference's revenue. There are 7 B1G teams in the top 20 there and I'd bet football charts would look very similar...

The best part of that Dance Card site? Indiana with a worse resume than ours. Always warms my heart to see us above them no matter the spot or sport. The worst part of that Dance Card site? Besides missing the tourney, obviously, is Penn State with a better resume than ours. In basketball...

If you look at his Nebraska bio it looks like Whitman hit another homerun. While having never been a Head Coach yet, its very obvious he has improved every team he has coached with, apparently in terms of talent and results. Proof of coaching acumen may not always need be presented in the form...

I'm just going to leave this here... JERRY SLOAN!!!
