Indeed. It's hard to fault the kid though. His game fits the Badger system, and Wisconsin is a far better situation to step into. I guess the next best player in Iowa would be Oglesby? Who Iowa has yet to offer despite his all but begging for one. Yeah a lot of fans are puzzled by that one. I like him a lot more than Uthoff but I think the coaches might be concerned he doesn't really add anything new to the roster. Whereas at Illinois he can really come in and have a defined role and be a good compliement to what they have. Iowa's #1 target for next year is a kid Devin Coleman from Philly whom Fran has been all over for like 3 years going back to his Siena days. He has offers from A-10 schools, Rutgers, etc. but apparently Cincy, Virginia and others are close. Iowa is on top right now but I'm worried he gets the Big East offer he wants, Oglesby commits somewhere else and then they're on plan c. Is Iowa going hard after Jok yet?

I'm hoping we can grab Shaw, and a shooter to finish out the class. I'm almost positive Randle will end up at Purdue, although it's more of a gut feeling than anything else. Illinois is also the leader for a 2011 PF out of California named Kevin Johnson. Do you know anything about him Raisin?
-
Jarrod Uthoff is headed to Wisconsin. Meh.
-
Between last start and the start of this game the true Carlos Silva is finally making an appearance.
-
I hope we don't end up with him. I know he's from Iowa, but how can any kid consider joining that program? That's a horrible situation right now. Illinois needs to focus on Shaw.

This will only fuel the Hill boner. Also why didnt Geo ditch the mask?
-
NOOOOOOOOOO
-
It used to be Randy Johnson, but I think Hamels safely owns that title now.
-
I think he usually takes a week off to watch his son play ball.
-
I agree. He's brutal.
-
That was incredibly filthy

I'd like to see it at Lambeau or Soldier Field. The game should be outdoors, as no team in the Big Ten plays dome football. Additionally both venues are historically rich. I think Lambeau would offer an excellent tailgating scene compared to Chicago, but there are practicalities such as a small airport, and limited hotel rooms within reasonable driving distance. Green Bay has Chicago beat on capacity as well. My gut tells me it will end up in Indy though, which does not excite me at all.

I don't understand why people hate the Cubs so much. They are the most historically futile team in all of sport. It just doesn't add up for me and I dont think its anything I will ever fully grasp. With that said Votto is acting completely unprofessional.

Royce White will be suiting up at Iowa State next year. http://www.google.com/hostednews/ap/article/ALeqM5jAafsGA_SBm-njPyIY2YbWbBW00QD9GTMPK00

So we get to see a legit number 12 seed (who would have previously missed the tournament) against what would be a number 16 in this scenario? If I am understanding this correctly it seems like the little guy is getting screwed here again, while the major conferences will benefit. Apparently ESPN had it wrong at first, and it's even weirder: two of the games will be the four AQs, and two games will be the last four at-larges. I like this idea much better. The at large games should be really exciting. We may have seen Illinois vs. Minnesota or Illinois vs Florida last year.

Just today some dude is suing LeBron for like 5 million saying he is his dad. I'm not sure what the grounds for suing is, I only skimmed the article but I guess he claims Lebron and his mom sabotaged the paternity test... but how is that worth 5 million or anything? http://legaltimes.typepad.com/files/stovell-complaint.pdf Here's the link to the complaint. http://www.facebook.com/leicester.stovell Here's a picture of him for comparison

Then you saw that he won't qualify at Mizzou anyway That's just mean spirited, I don't want to have to make comments about how we don't need Mitchell to beat you again. And a pre-emptive "Calm down illiniguy, I know you guys are good." 1 out of 10. Mizzou's really swinging the big dick in the rivalry now.

We suck, but winning is nice.
-
This has been one epic pissing match.
-
He must have the goods on Lou and Cubs management. It's all about the grit and being a throwback ballplayer. :roll:
-
OSU/Michigan potentially play in two consecutive weeks year after year? Seems to diminish the rivalry.
-
Then I guess I'll just say that claiming I declared them dead is idiotic. Seems to me that you were implying it.
-
no, i'm telling you what i think will happen. you disagree. i follow college football plenty and i'm well aware that michigan has not been good the past two years. Michigan has sucked the past two years. When good teams struggle, they generally lose maybe 4 games. what point are you making here? That saying they haven't been good is an hilarious understatement. Good teams struggle from time to time, but it's usually brief, and not all that drastic. Back to back disastrous seasons, that came on the heals of an already disappointing season, rarely indicate just a hiccup. Alabama and USC sucked for years. Then they won the National Titles. Powerhouse giants can come back quickly. Michigan will be back, it's one of the four national brands in the Big Ten, so they are able to recruit nationally. I think you are also overlooking the fact Rodriguez had to overhaul his entire roster to play his brand of football. Whether it works or not is a different question, but to declare Michigan football dead because of a few bad seasons is moronic and bordering on insane.

I've been reading up on the Big 10 and how it plans to distribute the schools throughout divisions. It seems the major concern is the balance of power between the divisions, as the Big Ten is looking to avoid a Big 12 South Redux with PSU, OSU, and Michigan in the same division. I think the Michigan-OSU rivalry must be preserved and played on the last Saturday of the regular season. It's the marquee game in the league, and should occur every year. This means Penn State will probably end up getting screwed, and have to go west. I don't think Penn State will go quietly. If the conference were to ensure that PSU would play OSU every year then I think the option becomes more palatable. PSU would then play OSU and Nebraska every year. OSU would play Michigan and PSU each year, and Michigan would preserve it's rivalries with MSU and OSU. I think the divisions should look like this: East (Or whatever it ends up being called): OSU, Michigan, MSU, Purdue, IU, Wisconsin West: Illinois, NU, Iowa, Penn State, Nebraska, Minnesota I don't know how pissed PSU will be about this but they don't have much leverage. This could all change quickly depending upon future expansion as well.
