I have to say, very strange to be worried about SLU stealing our recruits. What has happened over the last few years??

Yes I believe I saw that on twitter.

BobZuppke is new to twitter but appears to be someone who knows what he is talking about. Lots of insight so far - sounds like he's watching practices based on the tweet content. I think you are following all the same accounts that I am.

My grandfather used to frequent that establishment when he was on campus, probably around the time it opened. I believe 1933-1938 era is when he was there and I think it opened in 1935, right?

Would have liked to land Micah and would like to get Adams, but agree with others that neither is likely an All Big 10 type player. Rather they would fill out the class with good depth, with in-state guys who can continue to extend our instate relationships. And both seem like good, high quality...

Goodwin - badloss Calling it a two team race between SLU and Northwestern was essentially a slap in the face to the Illini who had been on him as long as anyone and were perceived leaders for well over a year I believe. Oh well, hope he enjoys playing in the lower league. Now let's get...

That is insane. Both parents are alumni, plays in state, and the best we can do is 4th? Wow. Also, sounds like Groce lost Goodwin - hope we can hold onto Tilmon and add another good player or two.

And everyone who was ever a teenager or young adult. It's not "today's kids"...kid's have always been rebellious. I've read my grandfather's diaries...pretty interesting read on life in the 30's and 40's in Chicago and Champaign (and the military).

Agree, one thing that sticks with me is that Lovie took 2 mediocre teams to the NFC Championship game and a Rex Grossman-led team to the Super Bowl.

This staff should be able to clean up in state. Also I love the connections to Florida and California - very strong connections.

Agree with this, none of those guys are realistic options.

Ridiculous that she is charged with a felony. She was out drunk and goofing around. It appears to be accidental damage of less than $300 per the article. She should be able to plead down to a misdemeanor and have it expunged from her record if she does community service and pays a fine, like...

The schedule is not easy though. The most interesting game might be that WMU match up. If we crush them, it helps Cubit's case and probably is not ideal for Fleck's chances of moving upward. However, if they crush us, maybe that turns Fleck into a top or the top candidate for the Illini job...

I heard the same thing, albeit third hand so I cannot confirm the veracity of it.

It does feel that way...slow motion train wreck. I am ready for it to be over and for us to figure out what we have and where we are going.
