  1. Gottfried would be an epic homerun hire for NU
  2. Gotta go with this as well. One more year to give him credit for the major upswing in recruiting (results on the court be damned) and see what happens. No NCAA tourney and it's time to look at someone different because maybe Miles could do it eventually but it wouldn't be consistent. Where is all this talent you speak of? Just because they had some stars and were ranked in the top 150? Look I'm sorry but most teams clearly have better players then we do, it shows in our record. Or team is not young anymore they have played through two full schedules, that excuse is tired. The guys we have are just not that good, we can't even hold on to the ball while dribbling. I've been saying this since all the "most talent ever" comments started popping up about a year ago: If Miles has a losing record with the "most talent ever", what does that say? Agreed!
  3. 14 games behind. That's a full season for Miles. Remember that Sadler had that "folksy" personality and people loved him at first and then turned on him...are we seeing Sadler part II?
  4. The OSU win was odd...becuase the refs called a jump ball when it should of been a foul.
  5. Well...it's not looking great at the half.
  6. Okay...okay... Ugggg...this one is tough. I guarantee that the unders will hit.
  7. Or nah (A song reference that some people don't seem to get...wink)
  8. Now it looks like Coach Groce will be back with the Illini...Hmmmm

      Yeah, this last season run puts the Illini admin and fanbase in a predicament.

      Late season runs can cover a multitude of sins.

      As a big Illini BBall fan I am not super happy. Plus they lose Hill and he is such a stud.

  9. I agree and I agree. I'm waiting for your guarantee and then I'm betting 20 bucks on it. Seriously. Oh boy, no one should take betting advice from me! Okay...Gun to head... Take the unders. Minny can play some nasty defense and the barn is a tough place to play. As far a picking a side. My gut says take NU but I will lock up Minny. They are playing really well and Jordy and Morrow are going to be in for a tough one tonight.
  10. How many of you talk like you post?

      I use less punctuation in real life. But I have a bigger wiener on HB than real life.

      I actually speak exclusively in pig Latin but the spell check feature makes posting with it unbearable.

  11. Just wait until TO dies and they start serving beer!
  12. And this is where the arguments happen. Groce and Miles got both of their teams to the NCAA tournament. Just not recently. So do you keep them around because they have? Or do you let them go because they haven't again? My thoughts on Groce...there is enough "evidence" that says letting him go is an okay move. Here is why 1. His conference record is horrible 2. He went after HUGE recruits and didn't get them and seemed to have no solid backup plan 3. Recruiting Chicago (real Chicago) is so slimy and Groce probably is too good of a guy for that Thoughts on Miles 1. Conference record is horrible 2. Same as Groce he sort of has no record of doing anything great (Groce did make a sweet 16 I think) 3. Miles has started to lose at home pretty often 4. I am not sold on his recruiting. Morrow was always coming to NU. Watson was never offered by Illinois even though his brother was an Illini Legend. I have a feeling that both Miles and Groce will be sticking around though.
  13. Thought this was interesting from an Illini board Independent of the roster at day 1 of the season, a coach should be able to make the tournament in year 5. It is more an indictment that we still hadn't built to a status where pundits thought we could make it to the tournament or the top half of the B1G than an effective excuse. That is the point. Regardless of whether we were expected to be in with this roster or not, by year 5, you should be getting to the tournament. And please note, this is applicable for any P5 program, not just Illinois. 5 years is plenty for a coach to reach the NCAAT at a P5 program.
  14. No-mentum! I love that! Minny is very bouncy this year. I actually think that Minny is how Miles wants NU to look.
  15. I can see NU getting a win here. Minny can't stay this hot.
  16. Seriously...no one ever questioned that they look identical?
  17. Most of those moms are on low doses. "Bars" as kids call them will make you feel very drunk/intoxicated. Yeah, I was just poking fun
  18. Xanax? Who were his clients? A bunch of West O moms that drop off their kids at school, go "workout", hit up a coffee shop, drive around with their "Irish Coffee", come home to "nap" and always let you know how busy they are?
  19. I agree with the part about the feelers. I think you toss out a few feelers to a coach that has some good recruiting connections and then a well known X's and O's guys. Sadly they missed out on Bryce Drew
  20. Good speech last night...

      Wait. You're talking trash about Dems in the seats not clapping during a speech you didn't even watch? HAHAHAHAHAHA

      i am guessing that dewiz did not stand and clap either. :rage:

  21. I LOVE that Lee is a first round talent AND there was chatter of him maybe going pro in this years draft...but now POB might win the job. I guess POB a HOFer and the GOAT
  22. I hope there is an article (or 10) about toxins!
  23. I liked it. I sort of stopped watching it but not for any bad reason. But I think it is a cool show.
