    No. The idea that all of this money is tracked like there's an air tag on every red cent is as preposterous as thinking the NCAA has any real control over the direction of revenue-producing "college" sports, especially in the B1G and SEC. With regard to money in college sports, we are as much in...

    Purdue 24, Illinois 17 Postgame

    I appreciate your insights from an inside perspective, and you probably know a lot more about football than I do. But, running up the middle and wasting the 3rd down in 4-down territory every time is not too cute, it's just stubborn. I realize he is a talented play designer, but his playing...

    I hope Valentine's injury isn't serious and he can bounce back. But, we are so bad right now, he would not have changed the outcome of this game and probably won't change the downhill slide of this season.

    Why is Barry Lunney the only person in the entire country that doesn't know he's going to run up the middle on 1st down and on 3rd down in 4-down situations?! I wish that was a worse problem than our non-existent defense.

    DC Bobby Hauck out at Illinois

    Is it really ever this clean? My guess is that there were several F-bombs from the "discussion" not mentioned in these statements.

    I don't know if anyone is wasting their time like I am watching the Kansas-LIU game. But, is it just me, or did you wonder if the color analyst with AI? He has a weird, fast, unhuman cadence. I actually had to do an internet search to see if there was an actual name listed for that position.

    Illinois 42, UAB 23 Postgame

    I don't know much about defensive schemes, but Bailey and the 3-3-5 seem like a good fit...but, Baily is a great player and would probably fit into any defensive scheme if given the chance. I was relieved to see X healthy enough to play a few more snaps in the second half after I got punched in...
