Week 3 Games
That Colorado score makes me think it's time to start the coaching carousel thread.
I think George will set his sights higher than Walters but no doubt that job will open.

Kansas hammering Houston. Leipold would be better staying there for the new Big 12 than going to Nebraska

Kansas still going
KU --- Are they still going 1-8 in conference, or is there really something there??

Will Rick George even be the AD making that call? Wondering if his seat is hot.

Of course we put Kansas on the schedule when they are the worst team in college football and when we finally play them they are going to be an 8 or 9 win team. OF COURSE this is our luck…
KU at 3-0. Last time they started 3-0 they went to the Orange Bowl.
Washington kind of running roughshod over MSU so far.
Spartans finally show some spark.
And Huskies respond.

This post (not meant to be rip on you) illustrates beautifully how the football and basketball programs are in different places. Basketball, we’re excited about the tough noncon tests. Football, it’s bad luck that future opponent might not be as bad we thought. Can’t wait until more basketball thinking pervades football thinking at Illinois.

Part of that is based on the basketball teams skill.
Part of that is the way each sport is set up.
Basketball plays more games, so one loss to a top tier team doesn’t hurt much.
On the other hand, because of NCAA tournament seeding, a win against a top tier team can help a lot.
Football is different. You only play 12 games, so a non-con loss can hurt you, even if it’s to a good team. And a win over a good team isn’t all that different when it comes to bowl games than a win over a bad team, until you start talking top tier bowls.
So it’ll be a minute until we have the same “we’ll plan anyone anywhere” as a football fan base.

Spartans looking weak. I like it!
I would think there’s a lot of word play with a name like that.Would it also surprise you that it's a religious school?
And I wonder what Donny Navarro is thinking right now.
Yes, but we’ll be better as well. Kansas is thinking the same thing, dang, Illinois was bad when we scheduled them…
Yeah. could be turning the ship around. Good for him. Seems like he’s getting it done at another stop. Illinois was interested.
