OFFICIAL: Illinois @Cincinnati

that loser Football Guy just sold out the football program for $350K. 400 free tickets? The return game isn't until 2013? The home team gets to use officials from its conference? And the best part, if the visiting team doesn't sell its allotment of 3000 tickets, the remaining tickets are deducted from the $350K guarantee!!!! How many Illinois fans will want to visit bucolic Cincinnati on the Saturday of Thanksgiving weekend?

Ron, YOU IDIOT! Someone ask Ron Zook for his thoughts.


6 home games again!!!!

Where is that Code of Conduct for Student-Athletes?

Probably lost in the East Central Illinois Triangle...along with a 7th home football game, having UI sports on a real radio station in Chicagoland and having the ladies play basketball at Huff.

What was the Worst Part About Last Night's Hoops Game?

1) Giving up only 38 points and still losing?
2) Bruce Weber refusing to use timeouts in the first half?
3) Not trying a press?
4) The hacks in Orange Krush not making any noise and texting their friends during the game?

Naw, I vote for the empty seats in Section A. Great job, blue hairs!

ALMOST OFFICIAL: Just 6 Home Football Games in 2009-AGAIN!

Is Coach Guenther trying to fool UI fans? Illinois has not yet announced its 12th football game for 2009...but suspicion has lingered that the game will be AT Cincinnati..thus NOT a 7th home game. Well, here is what Cincinnati says.... If True, Coach Guenther should pack his belongings and exit Bielfeldt immediately.

This stupidity is enough to make any true Fighting Illini fan vomit.

Where Is The Rest of the Football Schedule?

Still waiting for that 12th game to be announced...you can hold out hope for a 7th home game but expect the game to be in Detroit, St. Louis, Cincinnati, Fresno, or Mali....anywhere but Memorial Stadium since Coach Guenther is clearly incompetent at scheduling home games.

Good News!

It appears Chris Norwell, former defensive tackle on the 2008 Rose Bowl team, is now cancer-free. You're in our prayers, Chris!

Purdue Student Section Coming to Assembly Hall?

That is the rumor on the internet. Great job selling out the game, DIA & Bruce Weber!

Did the DIA Create a Potential Fire Hazard at Assembly Hall?

Lost in yesterday's win over iowa is that there was snow and ice falling off the roof at Assembly Hall. According to this article, every entrance to Assembly Hall but one was sealed off. Isn't this a fire trap?
