When Do NIT Tickets Go On Sale?

What a pathetic effort! At home, no less! Our mid-major coach rocks!

Coach Guenther Doesn't Want A Big 10 Title Game In Football


Coach Guenther, the self-proclaimed Football Guy, doesn't think that if the Big 10 expands, fans will travel for a conference title game, and then attend a bowl game. Don't worry Ron! Under your leadership, Illinois hardly ever plays in bowl games anyhow! 81-126-2! 5 bowl games in 19 years! Imagine a championship game at Soldier Field in Chicago. The game would sell out every year regardless of who played, just based on the number of alumni from Big 10 schools who live in Chicagoland. Once again, Saint Guenther proves he's incredibly short-sighted!

Illinois 10th in Big 10 in Revenue For Sports

In yet another example of how badly the DIA is managed, Illinois is just 10th in the Big 10 (barely ahead of Northwestern!) in producing revenue from its athletic department. Yet Coach Guenther is the highest paid athletic director in the Big 10! 81-126-2 baby!

Does the DIA have a Compliance Officer?

The Ron Guenther Fan Club always talks about how Coach Guenther runs a tight ship and always observes NCAA rules. Let's blow up that myth right here and now!

First, Illinois got slapped with a major violation in its football program several years back (Ron Turner era represent!) when a booster gave impermissible aid to Marcus Mason. Never mind that Mason was a bad player for Illinois....

Now, Illinois screwed up with the t-shirts worn by the men's basketball team when ESPN Game Day was at Assembly Hall. Ron, YOU IDIOT!

Our Mid-Major Coach Rocks!

It's bad enough to lose, but getting blown out at home on national television really says it all about our mid-major men's basketball head coach. The team looked like it never saw a zone before. Weber waited until Illinois was down 20 in the first half to finally call a time out!

This game felt like your typical home football game under Coach Guenther: a blowout. Thankfully, I switched channels and ended up watching Temple Gradin on HBO. I am sure that closet Buckeyes fan in Hudson, Ohio must be happy!

It's a Miracle! 8 Home Games for Football in 2011!


So after 19 years on the job, the Football Guy has finally figured out that "scheduling for success" can help build a downtrodden football program! After scheduling games against MAC teams in Detroit, giving away home games for a phat paycheck and an annual opening game beating from Missouri, and scheduling a home and home with Fresno State, Coach Guenther has 8 home games lined up for 2011!


Hopefully Guenther won't be around in 2011 to schedule 5 home games for 2012!

Today is Football Signing Day!

Zook was supposed to be a great recruiter...with the program now in the crapper AGAIN, we are getting two star recruits! It's like Ron Turner's last class, fighting Elon for players!

Great job Football Guy! 81-126-2! 5 bowl games in 19 seasons on the job!
