“We use the word Oskee not just because of the word Oskee or that it’s a battle cry of the University of Illinois. But it also stands for something. That stance that we use that word for is our success equals the knowledge of being — the K, the knowledge, of being a great student-athlete on and off the football field. Understanding how to be supportive. How to understand to be successful in the classroom. The E stands for effort, giving all-out effort in everything you do each and every day. And then the last E stands for energy. Energy, being a positive influence on the people around you. Having that belief and that system as being a teammate, being a brother, the band of brothers."

The evidence in support of the university's decision must be overwhelming and very damning to take such action 1-week before the season starts.  And this on top of allegations that were made against their women's basketball program although those allegations didn't hold up but the combination certainly doesn't put Illinois in a very good light.

The University of Illinois takes its tradition of scandals very seriously and this year they seem determined to smash some All Time Records.

 

I do enjoy the Illinois stories.

 

Keep em comin boyz!

They have a 4 star RB that we recruited very hard and finished 2nd for. He's a stud.


I noticed him. Didn't realize we were so close. I overlooked him because we are so deep on RB but now recall we could use another one.
