[QUOTE="Centennial Illini, post: 1301931, member: 592181"] I am sure that I speak for a lot of "old" alums here but during the 5 decades since I graduated my university always played "small ball". We know our place in the scheme of things and we should never aspire to any thing better. Accept our mediocrity and get out of the way of the big boys. 13 months ago we got a new athletic director and in the first 2 hours of his first day, he went thermonuclear and he has never looked back. We don't know how all this is going to play out but this is going to be a wild ride. I really think we are going to be very happy. But this I am sure of: We are spending money like Texas There are a whole bunch of ADs in other conferences and every AD in this conference that are totally perplexed and bewildered by what they see happening here. And I love it. [/QUOTE]
