His family should not have to pay a single penny for this tragedy. Is there a GoFundMe or anything else established for them? RIP. Not fair that such a positive force and influence on people was taken away.

Easily fixed. He has improved immensely every offseason. Went from liability on O to please find me in the corner to bury this 3.

I can't believe this is even a discussion. This makes the team better and adds much needed depth at LB. What is there to be upset about? These are not BB's "guys." He will play the kids who deserve to play.

Round 2 vs. Baylor is actually ideal imo. No reason to worry. BU would have a solid gameplan and the guys would be familiar/hungry to even the score. But let's secure a 2 seed first lol. Tough schedule to finish and could easily fall back down to a 4 or 5.

Imagine how bad it would be to be an Illini AND Texans football fan right now. For the few of you out there... I am so sorry.

As in no announcement today for a DC. But now that I see Tank has a presser at 11:45 they may very well make an announcement in the afternoon. Who knows.

Name a true final four team in any league other than Gonzaga or Baylor? For all we know Iowa could lose in the second round and Wisconsin could make it to the final four. Also, if you aren't Gonzaga there are hardly any gimmes for any top 25 team out there. Especially in the Big. This season...

If there isn't an announcement by Noon CT then it's a no go ..imo

Wrong. Minny lost by 27 to us and then went on to beat your projected final 4 team and MSU back to back. This conference is good top down. Also Purdue beat OSU and hung with Rutgers. No gimmes at all this year. The Illini are likely to slip up against one of those "just bad teams" you listed...

Why shaky? Broyles awards and Rivals DC of the year in 06 and did well as DC at Louisville. His issue was falling off after taking the HC spot at EMU. Feel like he is being sent to the wolves/falling on the sword for Mullens.

This is why we need hires by mid next week. Gotta go hard after transfers for the D.

The debate I mentioned is one I see and hear at every S&C clinic I go to (I coach hs track). So much information out there now that it can almost make you go crazy. And you make a great point about positional needs in the weightroom (DB vs. OT). By all means strength is extremely important. And...

There's an age old argument in the S&C world about heavy weights and how it does or does not effect elasticity and speed. Everyone has their own philosophy but I agree, whatever Lou had going did not look like it helped the teams explosiveness or speed. Hopefully the new guy can fix that while...

Bored and went through some teams. Not much to find on the staffs of Tulsa, Ball State, Army, etc. that would make sense. Then checked out the Cincy staff and saw Jon Tenuta. Maybe? But that would be pretty blah. Too lazy to keep looking.

I am assuming the new DC either coached yesterday or will be coaching over the next 3 days and that's why there has been no announcement. Narrows it down to about 20 teams to look for connections to Bielema 😁
