Then he doesn't communicate very well because that isn't the first time his teams have failed to foul when he supposedly told them to do so at the end of a game.

Congrats to Indiana. Calipari sucks at the end of games. A coach with even an inch of intelligence fouls on purpose and IU would have had no chance to win that game. Two fouls to give with 5 seconds left they should have fouled as soon as IU caught it in the backcourt.

QUOTE (zenryan @ Dec 9, 2011 -> 12:46 AM) Looks like he did well at Toledo. 14-2 within the conference shows that he can produce results within an equal playing field. It's not a real 'sexy' hire but the hype isnt there this year for the next MAC coach who is destined to be great. But he has midwest ties so that will help recruiting wise. Who else is out there really? Not an exciting hire but I don't think it is a bad one either. The key is building a strong coaching staff around him which they should be able to do based on the money they were willing to pay for a head coach. Keep Koenning and bring in a good offensive coordinator and you have a solid foundation.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Dec 8, 2011 -> 07:08 PM) This is f***ing bulls***. Wasn't the owners locking out the players supposed to prevent this crap? Now we're going to have Lakers/Heat finals for the 3 years. I said when I was young I'd cut my lips off before I became a hockey fan. Hmmmmmmmmm... What the f*** was the point to the lockout? NBA owners should never have agreed to a deal where it was still the case here you could lose a franchise player do easily. The smaller market owners are completely f***ed unless they get lucky and basically land two young stars at the same time like Oklahoma City.

Paul can get to the rim whenever he wants. I hope he realizes that at some point in his career and stops taking stupid jump shots.

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Dec 7, 2011 -> 10:38 PM) How is this Webers fault? How is this not his fault? This is his program and we have had way too many games like this the last 5 years.

The next coach for Illinois will be set up for huge success next year with the talent that will be at his disposal.

Butler is f***ing terrible.

Rumors out there that Illinois may land Kevin Sumlin as its next head coach. If Thomas is able to hire Sumlin and somehow keep Koenning on the staff as DC I will be elated.

Go away Roy Williams. Just go away.

Wow, sucks to see the Big 10 title decided on that call.

QUOTE (WilliamTell @ Dec 3, 2011 -> 06:31 PM) I'm going to go the other way on that. This is the 4th Gonzaga game I've watched and this game was the worst they've looked by far in my opinion.....and could've still easily won it. Only December though, a lot can happen for both teams. How could they have easily won it? Illinois was in control the entire 2nd half even with every one of their big men being in foul trouble.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Dec 2, 2011 -> 02:20 PM) If they do, that's a pretty clear indication that a good portion of the bowls need to be abolished. Illinois will be playing in a bowl. There are 70 bowl spots and there will be at most 75 bowl eligible teams. Illinois is a better and more desirable team than a lot of those available to the lower tier bowls. And btw, I agree that there are too many bowls. It is ridiculous that well over half the FBS teams play in bowl games.

When are people going to start giving the Broncos defense some credit? They have played incredible football lately.

QUOTE (Palehosefan @ Nov 27, 2011 -> 01:56 PM) Locksley wouldn't be a legit candidate would he? I would feel terrible for you guys if he was hired. He was an absolute joke at UNM, with the inmates running the poorly run asylum. LOL, not a chance in f***ing hell.

QUOTE (farmteam @ Nov 26, 2011 -> 11:45 PM) Take solace in the fact that my school was the only FBS team to not beat another FBS team. All Illinois fans should also take solace with the fact that the collapse allows us to get rid of a terrible football coach.

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Nov 26, 2011 -> 12:07 AM) You lose at home and you don't deserve to play the same team again for the National Championship, the end. You lose to Iowa St. you don't deserve to play for the national championship, the end. You lose by 20 at home and don't run the table in the garbage ACC you don't deserve to play for the national championship, the end. You aren't even remotely competitive and get house by Oregon at home you don't deserve to play for the national championship, the end.

The gap between LSU and Alabama and the rest of the country is just massive this year. No one else is capable of playing with those two teams.

LSU is an incredible football team.

LOL at Oklahoma. Don't call timeouts when the other team is willing to go into OT.

Matt Barkley is really f***ing good.

Are Nebraska's special teams coached by Zook?

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Nov 19, 2011 -> 02:29 PM) So if you could change an aspect of their team they might win 9 games? This Illinois team isnt a 10 win team. They had a chance to go to a very good bowl with their schedule, defense and the state of the conference, but it didnt work out. The biggest aspect of the team that needs to be changed is the head coach. He is awful. If we can find a solid head coach while also keeping Koenning that would be ideal.

Here is the Illinois football I grew to love over the last month. Special teams gaffes and turnovers all over the place giving the opposing teams short fields at all times.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Nov 19, 2011 -> 02:04 PM) You really dont believe that do you? That would make them one of 4 teams in Illinois history to win 10 games. Do you think they are that good? The defense is that good and the talent and schedule was there to do it.
