Just a few pics from my weekend trip, since it's very slow right now. Always good to be back in town.

Lemonis shouldn't be the head coach? Based on what? He's been here 3 years: NCAA at large, no tournament but winning record, and NCAA at large. He is literally responsible for a third of our all time NCAA appearances. That's not good enough for our "elite" program? He recruits well too. He was Louisville's top assistant. Sometimes I really wonder how much our fans even watch the games. (By the way, Tracy Smith just missed the tournament with ASU, their first losing season in like 50 years...with a ton of talent.) Soccer won a national title in 2012, makes the NCAA tournament every year, and is pretty much always in the top 10. Their offense was maddening last year, but they are fine. You don't seem to understand what this ranking is. New football/basketball coaches are irrelevant. It's based on the AD's performance from previous years in the Learfield standings. Basketball didn't help last year, but what really kills us is the women's sports. I like the new softball hire. I don't know what your issue is with the baseball and soccer programs though. They aren't hurting us at all.

Based on how he treats players/people in general? Nothing in that article surprises me. The guy is a great basketball mind, but also a raging hypocrite with a horrific temper. Oh, and he also once told a female reporter that if rape is inevitable, you should lay back and enjoy it.

Would help if I could, man. Don't really have much to offer.

Illinois is postponing their stadium renovation, and is instead going to build a separate football facility nearby. They're cutting about $70 million off of the original project budget: https://www.thechampaignroom.com/2017/6/20/15840520/illinois-football-memorial-stadium-renovations-update-postponed-practice-facility

I've been on the lookout for any information or plans for our locker room/player lounge expansion and renovation. I haven't seen anything yet, but I imagine that's due to the fact that that can't be done until the south end zone is closer to completion.

Sweet!

Clif is going to love all his new toys at Cook Hall... ...and at Memorial Stadium...
