I'll help, Mr Podz are you his father, or close to the source? Welcome, whether or not....as long as you're an Illini fan. Asking for a friend.Do we really think this is anyone other than a thirsty fan?
Oh please lets do......Let's not forget Adam Miller's mom.
Isn't that guy a little small to be a S&C coach?View attachment 12005

I don't know how she was around the program...but I met her and Adam and they were nothing but nice.Oh please lets do......
I’m getting tired of the Adam Miller bashing. Just let it go already. By all accounts, he was a model student athlete. NCAA programs started circling this kid like hungry sharks at an early age. He wanted to stay home in Illinois, but the fit wasn’t right. I know we all love the Illini program, but the program’s focus is on the team, not Adam Miller. Adam’s mom was an advocate for Adam. There is no shame in that.I don't know how she was around the program...but I met her and Adam and they were nothing but nice.
It's actually a side by side before and after picture of Podz.Isn't that guy a little small to be a S&C coach?
To all those still question why we called him "Chet" :I really enjoyed this article about Chester. How can you not love this guy?
'This is the place I love': A guided tour of the UI campus with Chester Frazier
CHAMPAIGN, Ill. — In a split second, Chester Frazier found himself somewhere between a walk and a jog as the doors to Scott Hall began to close. He yelled247sports.com
I had the same freshman to senior timeframe. I went back this summer and for the first time in a while. I feel all of what Chester feels when he talks about the changes.I really enjoyed this article about Chester. How can you not love this guy?

There's nothing in this article that suggests he likes being called Chet. So how about we call him what he likes.To all those still question why we called him "Chet" :
As Frazier’s path led him past Illini Towers — and the fence he used to jump to take a shortcut from Irwin — a fan walked past him with a simple message, “Hey coach, go Illini!” It’s worth wondering how many times he heard that on the same route, replacing “Coach” with “Chester” or “Chet” during his playing days. This particular path took Frazier to Daniel Street.
Graduated his freshman year and was back for the first time in a long time in ‘18 and yep same feeling. Green street was borderline unrecognizable after 12 yearsI had the same freshman to senior timeframe. I went back this summer and for the first time in a while. I feel all of what Chester feels when he talks about the changes.
CF it is!There's nothing in this article that suggests he likes being called Chet. So how about we call him what he likes.
Do you personally know what he prefers? If so what is it? I see nothing in the article that says he doesn’t like being called Chet either.There's nothing in this article that suggests he likes being called Chet. So how about we call him what he likes.
I'm gonna go out on a limb and say it's because we have never heard anyone in any interviews or coach Underwood or any other assistant for that matter call him Chet.Do you personally know what he prefers?

If this is the worst thing to be concerned about for 2021-2022, then we're in good shape going forward.I'm gonna go out on a limb and say it's because we have never heard anyone in any interviews or coach Underwood or any other assistant for that matter call him Chet.
Thats fine. I have never referred to him as Chet, but some seem to be really offended by it. I just wondered if there is any actual evidence of that he doesn’t like it or if it’s just something to argue about.I'm gonna go out on a limb and say it's because we have never heard anyone in any interviews or coach Underwood or any other assistant for that matter call him Chet.
They'll get plenty of tick in blowouts is my hope at least. If we are as good as advertised there should be plenty of those in NonCon and B1G play as well. If they show something big in those games then they'll earn their time in the tighter games.I am curious how our extra year super seniors will effect not only this year but next. l feel at least one freshmen that may not be expected to will break through and get tick that we currently dont think will . A freshman has done so every year under BU. I doubt all will given our depth if we stay healthy. I hope they can get an opportunity for some play early enough they will be around next year and going forward. They all have length, skill, and shooting as wings that BU has been wanting. It will be fun to watch. The players we saw play last year I have a good idea what to expect. The injured ones and newbies I can't wait to see how they impact this year and next.
There's also nothing in the article that suggests what he "likes being called".There's nothing in this article that suggests he likes being called Chet. So how about we call him what he likes.
Its a really good story. I’m a sucker for the old school mindset of returning home to serve rather than chasing greener pastures/warmer weather/whatever. I wish Chester a very successful return to Illinois.I really enjoyed this article about Chester. How can you not love this guy?

Yes but this is a very tough non conference schedule too. I know our super Seniors are very experienced and talented. Those two traits combined certainly give them an edge this season. That being said I feel BU is recruiting long athletic players that fit his system that seem to eventually have higher ceilings. I wouldn't just write them off to not challenge more experienced players the back half of the season if BU can find some time early in the year it could pay off. AC struggled at times early on but man he came on fast because he was able to play early on. I wouldn't be shocked if someone stepped forward to some degree amoung these 3 freshmen if given an opportunity to gain some experience to go along with thier length, and athleticism.They'll get plenty of tick in blowouts is my hope at least.
