[QUOTE="KRSAS, post: 1326174, member: 159665"] Yea I saw an undisciplined football team in 2016, taking bad angles and committing stupid personal fouls. That's on the coaching staff to fix. As for BU, he hasn't even proved himself yet. For all we know he could be a [B]BUst[/B] in Champaign. When Shaka Smart allegedly turned Illinois down to stay at VCU, I don't know if people realized how much trouble we were really in. Although now, he's not doing too hot at Texas so we probably dodged a bullet there. I'm just saying, I want Illinois to succeed more than anyone else. But at the end of the day, it comes down to wins and losses. I've seen too much of a downward trend at Illinois to be too optimistic. Illinois just doesn't seem to be a lucrative place for athletes to play. So its going to rely much more on the coaches to actually coach and bring out the potential in their athletes. I just don't know if Lovie and BU can bring Illinois back to prominence in the BIG TEN; However, I hope that this year we can be competitive in both big ticket sports. [/QUOTE]
