[QUOTE="TampaToo, post: 1949064, member: 749375"] This is kinda where I am at and I suspect a lot of fans are too. I have been a fan since the mid 70's and the 1980's was the brightest stretch since I've been alive. I, like many of us, are willing to pay for and devote the time to support the program if they can actually compete in most games. Most reasonable Illini fans would be content, and very supportive, if they could get to a point of playing like Minnesota, Iowa, Wisconsin, MSU, etc. every year. We've all been lured down this scenic road too many times just to see the skies turn grey and dark while the leaves suddenly drop realizing this was only a mirage. I still have some faith in Bielema, but recruiting and/or coaching has to get better quickly as "winters coming" (UCLA, USC, Washington and Oregon). PS - sorry your dad, like so many other Cub fans, did not get to see them in the WS. I wonder if it will be another 100 years? [/QUOTE]
