I cannot find anything that tells me whether Harbaugh is suspended for anything other than 3 hours on a Saturday. We have seen how much of an impact Bret has on the Illini program, it's almost 24/7. If Harbaugh can run practice and be in his office all week, that's where the program is...

Any schedule that never plays The Ohio State nor Michigan.

The epitome of the bird being the worst is if the Marching Illini come up with a song for it. Lyrics to follow.

Except the Penn State game is an 11:00 AM start. Which makes it difficult for fans as far away as StL for example, to be able to tailgate or even show up at all. Gawd I hate 11:00 AM starts.

Here we go again . . . What is an Illinois 3 point play? Shoot 10 free throws.

Only in the legal system can there be any seriousness about a lot of free money reversing a soiled reputation. I don't think anyone on this message board will change their minds about Fitz if he gets a few million. The cat is out of the bag and the horse has left he barn.

I may be wrong, and things may have changed in recent years, but I am under the impression that football scholarships are on a year-to-year basis. So once in the program, I don't think a 4 year full ride is guaranteed at all.

If there is a flicker of a bright side, whomever decides to accept the full time job as football head coach, he could possibly be heralded as a savior and a walker on water (assuming icing over on Lake Michigan). Just win 6 games and that will really help. One wonders, having been around a BiG...

I am surprised that there is no mention of assistant coaches or staff being thrown under the bus. Because if Fitz barricaded the door of his office when the players were in the locker room, there had to be at least one assistant coach around to hear the roar of the upper classmen getting their...

Actually, you would be selecting from a group of unemployed coaches, otherwise they'd be totin' the clipboard and carrying the whistle by the lanyard. Coaches are unemployed because they'd been fired.

From what I can Google up, both Bill and Ryan Cubit are available . . . just dial 1-800-hireme.

Let's start with the student section.

Brad Underwood saw them and said they are "Elite".

I disagree with just about every sentence in this post. 11:00 am starts are the worst. And guess what buddy, there is not a room to be had in CU Friday for a Saturday game unless you hit the Holiday Inn Express in Tuscola. And what do you tailgate, breakfast/ Lunch? Rousting the students...

We keep trying to force rivalries upon ourselves. NW is all there is. You have to look at it from the other direction. Which other school considers Illinois their top rival? Iowa? Nope. Wisconsin? Nope. Indiana? Nope. Purdue? Nope. And don't even think Michigan. We get NW because no...
