[QUOTE="Obelix, post: 1182450, member: 7292"] Not sure about that. I think your response has been greatly influenced by the decline of our program in the last 10 years. You would not have conceded OSU and UM being better 30 years from now if you were asked the same question in 1999-2005, or even earlier. Since the mid-80s it looked like Illinois had a bright future and an external factor (probation) got us down. The late 90s and early 2000s were just validation that once we had recovered from the effects of probation, we were destined for a bright future again. In the last 10 years, we have shot ourselves (and the program) in the foot. Clear mismanagement of administration/coaching, endogenous factors that have returned our program to pre-80s state.
