A chess move by Dabo here? If 25% of his team is COVID positive right now, he’ll achieve herd immunity by the opening week. No loss of players due to self isolation during the season.Yeah football isn't happening this year...

I don’t know, Clemson should be good to go in a couple weeks. /sYeah football isn't happening this year...
We do not speak of the Northwestern Game
I can understand him being ranked ahead of Lox, but how can they justify Schiano being ranked below him?
And he's ranked 12th in salary...…..

I guess that depends on how we measure performance. If we are strictly looking at record regardless of school or fan expectation then it has to be lovie. If you factor in fan expectations then it could be several coaches. Scott frost stands out to me.Who has the greatest performance to pay gap?
Yeah I'll wear a facemask while sucking beer through a straw if it means people can attend games.
Since you wont be able to hear the half filled stadium due to the facemask, I wonder if IL will come up with some unified noise makers the crowd could use, like cowbells or hit sticks....Yeah I'll wear a facemask while sucking beer through a straw if it means people can attend games.
that would then require ear plugs - hard pass on a drunk fan behind me ringing a cowbell in my ear for the entire game...Since you wont be able to hear the half filled stadium due to the facemask, I wonder if IL will come up with some unified noise makers the crowd could use, like cowbells or hit sticks....
See the idea is to have a noisy crowd...that would then require ear plugs - hard pass on a drunk fan behind me ringing a cowbell in my ear for the entire game...
I say create an app that then sends your cheer thru speakers located in your section - 4 buttons. Note, this could also be used from home if the stadium is empty or practicing social distancing. (You'd have to buy a virtual ticket).
1. Boo
2. Golf clap
3. Medium cheer
4. "We Just beat MSU on a last ditch toss into the endzone" scream
PS. Anyone steals this and makes money off of it - I want my 10%.
I had very similar reservations about Lovie as I did BU. Neither have been HCs at this level of their respective sport, one which puts heavy emphasis on talent and using personal skills (rather than money) to get that talent. I thought the easiest way to do this for both of them was to surround themselves with a staff that would've had a bigger background in recruiting at this level.I might put Jim Harbaugh above Scott Frost, but I think Lovie might top them all. We are on our fifth year and hoping the pillow soft non-conference schedule gets played so that finally, finally!, there is a chance at a winning record. In four full recruiting classes he has only recruited five 4 star recruits and, so far, no others on the way. The recruiting has been so bad we hope he is able to pick up someone else's backups on the transfer market to fill the recruiting holes, and not just one or two transfers, but several transfers. My expectations for Lovie Smith, and I don't think I was alone, were that Illinois would be competing for the relatively weak Big Ten West title, not the division basement, and he would be killing it on the recruiting trail.
it's really quite simple, if the masks do help then I'm potentially saving lives, if they don't work then I'm wearing a mask that mildly inconveniences me.Would I attend games if required to wear a mask? Yes. Would I attend games if others are not required to wear a mask? No.
Caution, political rant ahead. This has never been (or purported to be) a country where people are allowed to do whatever they want. It has been a country where people can typically do whatever they want SO LONG AS IT DOES NOT HARM OR ENDANGER OTHERS. We don't allow others to drive drunk because it endangers other. Yes, I accept the risk of driving on the highway. Would I accept the risk of driving on the highway if there were no laws precluding drunk driving? No.
If your facemask is covering your ears, what is covering your mouth and nose?Since you wont be able to hear the half filled stadium due to the facemask, I wonder if IL will come up with some unified noise makers the crowd could use, like cowbells or hit sticks....

Not sure if that is a legit question and my wording has been misinterpreted or if that is a failed excuse at humor. SorryIf your facemask is covering your ears, what is covering your mouth and nose?
I saw a man on the street interview over the weekend where a non-mask wearing man noted that the was a lack of bipartisan science on the matter.it's really quite simple, if the masks do help then I'm potentially saving lives, if they don't work then I'm wearing a mask that mildly inconveniences me.
It was humor. I got it. And I think we need it because I suspect this thread is going to heat up pretty quickly.Not sure if that is a legit question and my wording has been misinterpreted or if that is a failed excuse at humor. Sorry
Would I attend in a mask, yes. Especially in Champaign, I would guess 50% capacity will be most likely a high water mark this year, due to circumstances. A lot of our season ticket holders are older, and I would encourage them not to attend. I feel comfortable in outdoor restaurant seating, without a mask, when people are 6-8 feet away. So, 3-4 ft away, with a mask. I am good. Especially, since I could walk around a little. SFC, I would have more hesitation. Something about being outside seems safer.
Half filled might be a stretch. Last year we had only one home game where paid attendance was over 40k and that was due to the throngs of invaders from Nebraska. The other home games were in the vicinity of 35k. Actual butts in the seats would have been thousands less. We're way ahead of the curve if the NCAA limits attendance to, say, 50% capacity.Since you wont be able to hear the half filled stadium due to the facemask, I wonder if IL will come up with some unified noise makers the crowd could use, like cowbells or hit sticks....
