    Lovie Smith out at Illinois

    Bennett Williams and a couple buddies were suspended. Also Howard Watkins literally robbed a dorm.

    Yes a non committable one by the looks of it. He’s plummeted in the rankings and doesn’t seem to have the ability to commit to any of his offers as he would have already done so. This was the kid you were pumping we should take over McConnell so maybe it’s fair to question your eye for...

    You were hyping up this guy during the summer and complaining that we took sedarius McConnell over him. You said that they were the same level player, well this guy is still unsigned. https://247sports.com/Player/Daine-Hanson-46096652 And for your comment about the texas LB, we can’t expect...

    You’ve been constantly critical of anyone from STL who didn’t attend ESL. And what did texas find out? Kid started 10+ games for them. He was injured.

    You dislike anyone from stl who didn’t attended esl. Noticing a trend here.

    That’s fine. But James knight is the perfect example of giving into Sunket and getting nothing in return. Guy loves to forget about him.

    Lovie Smith out at Illinois

    High school coaches are a problem as well imo. Sunket being angry about us taking Childress over Powell when every other big 10 program pulled Powell’s offer as well was ridiculous. Not to mention James knight. Sunket always loves to forget about that one whenever he gets done crying on Twitter...

    I think we will see a move. Josh has been in contact with donors since yesterday. Lovie’s attitude toward getting crushed yesterday was the sealing of his fate imo.

    I think everyone should read up on Lance Liepold and his staff. All of liepolds guys have major Midwest ties and they are very loyal to him. Some have followed him from UW-whitewater and he seems to have a cohesive staff. His recruiting coordinator used to work at Notre Dame and was the...

    What money am I complaining about? When people actually show up with the tickets it increases revenue (parking, concessions, sales in merch). Not to mention game day atmosphere is massive for recruiting. The lack of fans has hurt the DIA is recent years. Season ticket packages have decreased...

    No they are accurate. You are giving the paid attendance numbers, that is different then actual game day attendance. Here's a link to the article. This is the most shocking part of the whole article. "Kicking off the season against a team from a lesser league has helped the win-loss record, but...

    Ill ask you directly. Why in your opinion does lovie deserve a 6th year?

    You just hit the nail on the head, the DIA is struggling. It is why I don't think we can be passive and stick to the status quo. If we are drawing 22,000 to begin next year, we are going to have to cut even more programs. If a new coach can bring some excitement (like lovie did in 2016) then the...

    Yes those dollars being lost are a crucial thing, and will be a much bigger factor then the record on the field. We need fan interest/donor dollars. I personally know multiple donors who have told whitman that their donations will be ceasing until a move is made. Texas is about to pay a 25...

    And it will. JW knows the numbers and the lack of interest. I know a person who works in the social media dept. and josh visits with her regularly about how many interactions the tweets are getting. He knows that 22,000 thousand people for a big 10 football game is atrocious. He's a smart guy...
