[QUOTE="Bbuck21, post: 1834863, member: 748813"] For quite awhile I have discussed college sports and developed opinions about which ones being "Basketball schools" versus "Football schools". Based on nuances and "feelings", you think of schools one way or the other first. Many are obvious. Example: I tell them "Pitt is a football school, not a basketball school". They hate that. I have always said that my (almost) 50 years as an Illini fan, that "Illinois is a basketball school". Not going to boar you with my historical examples or interpretations. In my completely subjective and possibly irrational conclusion, this is my first time seeing what looks like the administrations' serious commitment to the football program. I don't mean just the Bielema contract. More than that. I am very happy for BB and us. [/QUOTE]
