I can speak from experience. When you have two kids in college at the same time, spending time with mom and pop is somewhat down their list of things to do.

More excitement. . . . . . Just keeps building with each hire. It reminds me of the excitement we had with each big name free agent Lovie bought in his first year with the Buccaneers. I sure hope the outcome is much much better, as what came over the next two years was extremely disappointing. I'm just saying. I know Lovie and Hardy in particular, are great people, I just hope they can be successful at recruiting and coaching today's student-athlete.

Is it possible that this was done on purpose? It shows that Lovie is bringing in NFL caliber assistants.
Get that sound logic out of here! Don't you know this is IllinoisLoyalty?! :thumb:
Yup, and the pictures in the stories themselves are of Nickerson and Hayes-Stoker coaching Lavonte David and Mike Evans, respectively. A couple of rich, famous NFL superstars. Not a coincidence.
Exactly. It would be a different story if they were wearing logos for another college team.
You'll note McGee's photo shows him in generic apparel.

I guess that's feasible. Guarantee if was a coach at an NCAA school they'd not do it.
EDIT: Ahh smacko, I hadn't gotten to your post yet.
Isn't it great when things concerning Illini Football can be made sense of???

I have been impatiently waiting for this to be official. Looking forward to what Hardy can do. You would think this can only help us with DeCalon Brooks
DeCalon Brooks and much more. Have we ever had a more accomplished person on the coaching staff? His bio is incredible.

Welcome to Tampa Bay fighting Bucillini!
He was a BAAAAD man in his day. Still looks like he could suit up and do some damage.

Well that's a good recruiting video. He walks in and pops the VHS in the VCR. Yes a VHS and yes a VCR. He may need to bring his own. Love it.

TV in my bedroom has one built in, got it for Christmas in 2000. There's an N64 currently hooked up to it with All-Star Baseball 99 in it.
As a steelers fan, I approve. Let's just hope our D looks halfway like a steelers team!
