To be fair he did run like a bull. He wore down defenses. Hopefully KF can run down hill like that
The thing is he didn’t earn a big raise. Look at his game log and tell me if he should have a 4 million price tag

- how was I to know, she was with the Russians too?
who's next? doesn't take a genius to know that Tony B is close. I'd love an Illinois trifecta of Tony B, Liggins and Tilson
I agree but that just speaks to how deep the room is. I actually take it as a positive. Josh is graduating after this year. Is he a pro? Don't know. He wants to cash in if he can on a bag. It may be that he wants to cash in here a little more than he is now. We will be fine either way. I for one hope he comes back.
Just the fact that the first public NIL holdout guy's last name is "I am a leava" is just too perfect.The thing is he didn’t earn a big raise. Look at his game log and tell me if he should have a 4 million price tag

This gave me way too hard of a sensible chuckle.
Not to be too critical, but to be fair.....the O Line was the "author" of that run. We were sitting in the opposite corner end zone, and you could see that hole open up like a barn door. Fortunately Josh hit it and took off. If he would have been Rocky Harvey he probably would have scored. I love Josh and appreciate all he did for the Illini program...also wish he would have closed his career as an Illini. But our RB room is in great shape and we will be fine.
He might be taking a big pay cut.
Schools waiting for Nico Iamaleava to drop NIL demands: report
Nico Iamaleava’s plan to get more NIL money than he was being paid at Tennessee could backfire as other schools may not be interested in making a big investment

A soph QB in the SEC threw for 2600 yds with 19 TDs and 5 Ints and 350 with 3 TDs rushing...leading the team to 13th in PPG (2nd in the SEC) and a CFP birth.The thing is he didn’t earn a big raise. Look at his game log and tell me if he should have a 4 million price tag

That seems pretty good and based on the Heisman odds, Vegas was projecting him to improve.
Seems like he didn't expect UT to call his bluff.
Doesn't seem like he will make 1/2 of what he would've made there next year..
Luke Williams just entered the portal…
Look at his numbers against sec teams
Will we pursue him?
EDIT: I feel like if he can't get any time at Purdue, he can't play here

I'm trying to remember with accuracy, but I'm pretty certain when Lovie was hired here, Urlacher was quoted as saying really nice things about Lovie and said when his kids get recruited, they will go play for Lovie or someone like him; not sure if it hurts us that Lovie was fired here.
On the flip side, I'm guessing Olin Kruetz has great things to say about our program and I'm guessing they talk!
Side note: no idea if the Urlacher kid is any good, but assuming he's decent, since he went to ND.
