Illinois Doing Poorly in Director's Cup Standings

The Director's Cup is an award given to the most well-rounded intercollegiate sports program. Unsurprisingly, Illinois is doing quite poorly in the standings. This is beacause Illinois doesn't field many sports programs and Illinois has 0.5 Big Ten titles in the past two years. More proof that when the Guenther supports say he's given Illinois a well-rounded sports program, they are full of crap.

Here is how Illinois is doing relative to other Big 10 schools:

1. Michigan 2. Ohio State 3. Penn State 4. Wisconsin 5. Minnesota 6. Purdue 7. Michigan State 8. Illinois 9. Indiana 10. Northwestern 11. iowa

The fact that Illinois is behind Minnesota & Purdue is a joke.

Has Coach Guenther Lost His Marbles on AH Renovation?

Coach Guenther was on WDWS (East Central Illinois Media Elite!) discussing Assembly Hall renovation. As usual, Loren Tate offered up softball questions. But Ron Guenther had the audacity to mention the possibility of playing Illinois games elsewhere while Assembly Hall is renovated.

Great thinking Ron! Give up what has usually been (last year's abortion of a season excepted) a great home-court advantage to play in Carbondale, Normal or Chicago.

Heck, why not play all the home games in St. Louis or Ford Field in Detroit?
