This is a blog dedicated to informing folks about University of Illinois Athletic Director Ron Guenther and how he has screwed up Fighting Illini athletics. This is especially true regarding football during his tenure. If you live in East Central Illinois and you blindly believe Ron Guenther is the greatest thing to happen to Fighting Illini athletics, don't read this blog! If you care about the Fighting Illini and want to see a winning athletics program, welcome!

I am not from East Central Illinois, so I am a realist and not a brownnoser of the DIA. I am tired of bad Illinois football and I demand change. Change starts at the top. Ron Guenther must go.

First of all, with all due respect to Jim Turpin and Jim Sheppard, neither did a good job, and while I can't speak to Sheppard's replacement (a position that doesn't impact anyting), Turpin's replacement was a significant upgrade regardless of age.
As for Lou, I loved him and would like to see a building named after him, but from a fan's perspective, it was time for him to go and it had nothing to do with age. His replacement was an upgrade on every level related to coaching.
As for Guenther, his bosses have chosen to extend his tenure, again I assume regardless of age.
Unbelievable. Get those Depends at Schnuck's!
Aaaahhh ... reminiscing of your old ball boy ... er, manager days?
So whose jockstrap were you responsible for carrying - Lowell's, Marcus's, Nick's? Please don't tell us it was Andy Kaufman's!!!
He hires a football coach who WOULDN'T recruit, and gives him a long-term extension. He doesn't lock-in the basketball coach and hires a replacement who CAN'T recruit. He sells out Memorial Stadium by closing 20,000 seats. Give him a lifetime contract!
So the basketball coach who can't recruit now has 3 top-100 guys for th 2009 class. He certainly had a setback for the 07/08 classes, but it happens, but lets awknowledge that he is picking up the pace.
