I [expletive] hate Penn St. 2006 was one of the worst nights ever. This almost compares. [expletive] that school. I can't believe there's another [expletive] Battle either.
-
I'm in class but the Gamecast is laughable. Is it as bad as it looks?
-
Haha, do you remember Luther Powell Jr too?
-
We're going to blow this [expletive].

http://community.bigtennetwork.com/bigtengeeks/blog/2011/01/07/great_performance_by_illinois_last_night!._and_they_made_some_shots_too. Please sort out our ball security, as it is our Achilles heel right now. We also held NU to a season low 0.86 point per possession last night. I think its safe to say that defense will not be our undoing going forward, although I do think we are still a bit suspect at stopping dribble penetration. Finally, the more I watch this team, the more important I think it is to get off to good offensive starts. This is especially true with regards to the two Mikes. They seem to loaf when they do not get involved early.

When is the last time a college to pro coaching change worked out? The best I can come up with is Barry Switzer and that was with Jimmy Johnson's team. Here's the names I could recall off of the top of my head: Pete Carroll, Nick Saban, Butch Davis, Bobby Petrino, then Switzer and Jimmy Johnson. Am I missing anyone?

I think he's banking on the 49ers sucking next year and then reuniting with Harbaugh. I think the Niner's have a roster that should have made them legitimate playoff contenders this year. If they get a competent QB and Harbaugh proves to be competent coach they will be much improved next year.

I'd like to give my gameball to Mike Davis. Fantastic effort last night. Please bring that every game.

DMac is toying with these fools. Reminds me of Frankie.
-
Yup. Get them some tick, they need it.
-
they get to thinking they can make any pass and dribble as sloppily as possible Griffey did not look good in his minutes.
-
We need to work on our ball security. This is shameful.
-
Yeah, I'm officially ready to say it. We're pretty freaking good when we want to be.
-
Exactly. [expletive] every stupid Michigan fan who keeps spouting off about the next coach needing to be a Michigan Man. It's the reason why the fan base was divided the moment Rich Rod stepped on campus 3 years ago. Are most of these Michigan Man blowhards townies, or is the alumni caught up in this obsession as well?
-
I can't wait for Pitt to hire RichRod just to see West Virginia lose their [expletive].
-
We're Illinois, the kings of paranoia.
-
Shameful call.
-
Tisdale is going to get killed. I suspect matching up against Minnesota will also provide entertainment value.
-
I like what Fran is doing with your program thus far. I like beating Iowa way more when you are decent, it makes the rivalry more fun. Plus its nice to have a higher tempo coach in the Big Ten, it helps minimize Bucky Ball.

I agree with Sulley. Zook fits well at Illinois because of his recruiting ability. Illinois will never be at the top of any elite recruit's list. The state of Illinois does produce talent, but other midwestern schools will always be able to pick out the top recruits. At our peak, we are a school which can win 7-9 games consistently each year and occasionally compete for a Big Ten title. The key to turning around Illinois, and going to consistent bowl games is scheduling. Now that the Mizzou game is gone we should be able to pick up more wins. Zook's not the best coach and will have unexplainable losses, but I think he is about as good a coach as our program can reasonably be expected to get.

To me it will all depend on who the next hire is. If they have someone specifically in mind (obviously Harbaugh comes to mind) then I am ok with the firing. If they were firing him just because they were fed up with the results, then I am not sure if they gave Rodriguez enough time. I don't want to be [expletive], but I accepted that there would be 2 years to transition into a spread offense. The results of the last 2 years didn't bother me. The fact that our defense was 108th in the nation this year did bother me, and I didn't really consider going 7-6 a success in year 3. But you've knowing punting away 2 years of a program that never punts away years to make the switch to the spread, and the third year doesn't go their way and he's fired? Now what? You hire a coach to run a traditional offense and punt another year going back (I am assuming its easier to go back than to switch to one)? Blah, at least the offseason will be interesting. To me the move only makes sense if they already have Harbaugh in their back pocket. Otherwise it seems that they are taking a tremendous risk which could blow up.

How has Illinois not shown a commitment to winning? They've upgraded both practice and gameday facilities, they pay their coaches well, and it appears things are starting to turn around. I'm not a huge Zook fan, but the program is inching in the right direction.

What type of timetable are you putting on getting Texas back to a BCS level program?
-
Go Rams

We got to the line 22 times compared to Wisconsin's 12. Impressive against Bucky.
