2003 Illinois @ UCLA in pasadena. We lost 6-3 and missed a field goal in the final moments. It was brutal, but going to a game in the rose bowl was pretty sweet

Good call, very impressive. Kid looks really quick and difficult to bring down. Thus why you shouldn't judge a kid by his offers

It absolutely is. I remember reading somewhere that even Kentucky's football team is more profitable than it's mens basketball team.

I believe the new logos, fonts, etc. become property of the university of illinois and not nike at the end of this current contract. I would have a hard time believing they'd give that up in this new one

http://www.news-gazette.com/news/local/2016-01-19/advantage-tiley-perhaps.html Link to the article in question. Personally I would love to have this guy. If you read some of his other quotes he seems like a guy who is genuinely driven and can come up with good long term solutions.

Any buzz about Jeff Brohm leaving WKU? His team looks pretty darn good today and had a very good year with only losses coming at Indiana and at LSU. Personally I really hope he's still around next december

Per Jeff Goodman twitter, he has set up visits to Nebraska (!!!!!) and arizona state

This is both genuinely upsetting and encouraging. On one hand he seems at least mildly interested in the job. In another interview he said he moved on from Illinois Tennis because he had a 10 year plan and once that was up he felt he had accomplished what he wanted. Coincidentally it has been...

A) I doubt it was ever meant to be a primary logo B) Almost positive it is used when ESPN flashes the secondary logos in their lead ins and when we score in football

I just don't get how keeping Cubit makes this job any more enticing to a new AD. Now he has the pressure of hiring a good football coach in probably a thinner candidate pool, with a less attractive team to sell. Obviously that's something that can be done, but and some people would like to hire...

I agree, but i can't Imagine why he'd have interest. He's currently getting paid 180k (plus incentives I'm sure) to play golf for a living. There's not enough money in the world that would pull me away from that job to something as high stress as Illinois AD

http://www.news-gazette.com/sports/illini-sports/recruiting/2015-09-12/sunday-conversation-craig-tiley.html Not giving up on George just yet, but this is a conversation with Tiley from earlier this year (sorry if it's already been posted) some interesting statements about his involvement in the...

Yeah but this isn't his wife, this is his job. When you're interviewing for jobs, whatever job you're interviewing for is "your dream job" or "the perfect fit" because you don't want your potential or current employer to think you're not interested. The fact that he dodged this question like a...

From what I've heard from a pretty good source is the team has yet to see anything blue, helmet pants or jersey, but there still is hope
