You see a photo of Izzo and staff eating chicken and drinking blizzards at a local Edwardsville Dairy Queen and immediately go into a tirade against what Dana Fife did in 1998?Dane Fife screwed us with Cory Magette back in 1998. Duke wanted Fife over Magette and when Fife apparently changed his mind from Duke to Indiana very late in the game it set off a domino effect. Magette who all the experts had as an Illini surprised everybody with Duke. Krueger landed a very good lands with F Williams, Krupalija, Archibald, and Lucas. But he narrowly missed out on Magette and Bobby Simmons. Simmons was the bigger lost because he would of been a starter at the SF for 3 years especially during our on time as a top 5-10 team.
This board has absolutely no sense of the absurd. I love that photo. The glamour of big time college recruiting in all its glory.
