Personally would not care for Beillman, he does not seem to be compatible with our AD. and what he see's as the Illinois coach A job hopper with a personally that does not fit with Wittman's.. He has baggage that does not fit to Central Illinois.. I know everyone says the coach at Cincinati...

There is also another point that will never be changed.....O'hare field.... Western teams recruiting for a eastern player makes a stop over in cHicago and hits up an Illinois prospect and continues East and vi sa versa, does not add to the cost of recuiting and gives the illinois prospect as...

If I remember His Mother wanted away from the "Maimi" problems

We bad mouth Fitz and Northwestern, but he outcoached us last Saturday. His game plan was to run, run, and run. He used a 250# quarterback who had been buried on their bench and freshman running backs who had not played much, and ran most fourth downs for first down after first down. Look at...

Continue to be impressed with Mr. Millans reporting of the games he has covered for Illinois, Wisconsin and Rutgers. Very fair evaluations of player and team performance . No homer, just solid football discriptions. Very refreshing...

My first Illini game was 63 years ago. Graduated myself in 1960 and two kids are proud Illini graduates. This win ranks as one of the best ever........including bowl wins and the Ohio State upset. Lovie and the staff have this team playing hard........ On another note, I thought Milian and...

Dick Butkus was a man among boys. There was nothing "phony" about him, and there isn't today. If you think you were going to get a glosse retorical presenation with platitudes, forget.. He is who he is. A great football player who gave the university everything he had every game. I was at...

Look, we have guys that are playing hard, that goal line stand was terrific and gave us a chance to win. The 4th down pass was interferance. the Nebraska guy was hanging on to his jersey. Obvious call that would have given us a first down

I remember the Pitt game, they put 12 players that year om the Pros. 4th quarter, Illinois is driving for what could be the winner, when we have a ball intercepted on the 4 yard line by a lineman who returns it all the way 90+ yards for the winner.... Sad

We have an offensive line that has proven they can open holes, running backs that are experienced , that includes a 1000 yard runner, a QB who has won games in the Big 10 a rookie QB twice player of the year in Mazzoo, experience defensive backs, experienced line backers, the only thing we...

A thought about a name. " Illini Golden plain" this would relate to our flat land state and the "golden" would relate to the corn grown on it> Add gold to the orange and blue colors. I can't think of anything more bland that would offend the NCAA and those 30 facility members who are...

Agree generally with your positions, but I think you under estimate the effect a quarterback like Peter's can bring to the overall offense. We had a minimal passing attack last year, yet almost led the league in rushing. If we can get 200/ 250 yards passing a game we will absolutely be a...

Thank you Marques, I am sure you had something to do with his recruitment. Illinois has not been very visible in this part of Florida (DeGroot). Naples H.S. ,Immokolee H.S and the Ft. Myers schools have sent significant talent to SEC Ohio State and Michigan also have had starters from this area

Sparks was judged to be in the top 15 players in Southwest Florida, so while not a finished product (who is at 17) I think we was a very good recruit who is playing in a good conference and competition.
