rico Posted December 18, 2018 Report Share Posted December 18, 2018 Really kind of mind boggling when you think about it. Makes me think they aren't even following the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5fouls Posted December 18, 2018 Report Share Posted December 18, 2018 What's even more mind-boggling is that these guys have to know that Gary Parrish writes a weekly column for a national web-page based on stupidity when filling out a ballot. Even if I otherwise didn't care, I would take every step necessary to make sure I didn't up being the butt of his joke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not only is Simeon off limits for BU but tons of coaches aren't interested in BU or Illinois at all because of how they handled it. Problem I have is even a blind squirrel is eventually going to find a nut. I mean how many bad hires can a university and athletic department make and we can as opposing fans get away with? Keep BU exactly where he's at. Edit-Just like with any article out of a Chicago newspaper. You have to take with grain of salt. So many agendas...and the Sun Times isn't necessarily known for being fair or even nice with their coverage of U of I. With that said...not a good look at all.

Growing up surrounded by Illini fans I can tell you they think he's a joke when he explodes. And in the world we live in now....it doesn't help recruiting one bit.

Back up the bus......are you telling me that there are Illini fans? If there are, why ain't they rioting? Because I would with the product they have been putting on the floor and on the field.

The others could care less. Some of their allegiances have flipped to Sconny or Northwestern. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Less time than it took for Groce, and especially Weber. The "Angry guy" is burying himself a deep hole among the "Orange Nation".... based on what I have been reading. Ton's of transfers last season. And it's looking like more to come this season as well. I have a friend who is a varsity coach across the river in Kentucky. He attended a coaching clinic at UI earlier this season and got to sit in on one of their practices. He was texting me from the practice with a less than impressive review of both team and coach.
