Light At The End of The Tunnel????

Apparently, the best AD in the country has agreed to stay at UI through the end of the school year, which would be May 2011. Concern: will Lord Guenther and his ego demand that he be allowed to chosen his successor? We hope not!

It's An Election Year! The People Have Spoken!

Only 28% of those who voted in the Champaign News-Gazette poll say Lord Guenther deserves a contract extension! Ron Guenther, please go away!

Crime Wave

This poor guy got robbed of his orange Illini shirt...times are really tough for the Fighting Illini!

Historical Perspective on the FAIL of Ron Guenther

The current 18 years of the Ron Guenther Error have a record of 81-126-2 in football. This is the worst 18 years of Fighting Illini football since 1954-1972, when the program was 64-101-5 for a .391 winning percentage. All at a $600K annual salary! BOGGLE!

Further, look at the 18 years prior to Lord Guenther: a record of 99-98-8, .503 winning percentage. 7 bowl games and two seasons where the team would have gone to a bowl game if there were as many bowl games then as there are now. Only a dope from Hudson, Ohio would think that Ron Guenther outperformed his predecessors!

Once Again, Ron Guenther is Too Lazy to Hire a Coach

the women's gymnastics coach suddenly resigned, citing personal reasons. Lord Guenther, who is too busy giving away home football games to conduct a search for a replacement, names an assistant the interim head coach. Sounds just like men's track.

Looking Back: The Hiring of Ron Guenther

This article is all sorts of funny foreshadowing of the ineptitude of Ron Guenther.

"What's hurt Illinois is that it can't build continuity into the program."

Well Ron, when you're giving away home games, scheduling games in St. Louis and Detroit, that is why we've been to only 5 bowl games in the 18 seasons since you took the job!

"This is a guy who's going to stay here for a long time."

At any other school, 81-126-2, combined with NCAA probation and WARRENYOUIDIOT gets you fired. Not at Illinois! Heck, it gets you a $600,000 annual salary.

Loren Tate Nervous About Guenther's Future?

Sure sounds like it! Loren Tate, who always carries the water for his hero Lord Guenther in the East Central Illinois media, continues to drum support for a contract extension for The Football Guy. Best line in this article: "aside from a few football scars" Um, WHAT????

81-126-2. 5 bowl games in 18 seasons. WARREN YOU IDIOT! A major NCAA violation in the football program.

An Athletic Director Who Understands Football Scheduing

"Going into the season having two BCS non-conference opponents is problematic when you're trying to rebuild a team."

For Ron Guenther and his ego, he refuses to acknowledge that Illinois football is rebuiding yet again. Why he is shocked about this, I don't know. 81-126-2 and 5 bowl games in 18 seasons should be enough. Anyhow, hopefully we've seen the last of games vs. MAC teams in Detroit!

Ticket Sales for Missouri Game in St. Louis=FAIL

Only Lord Guenther would think it's a great idea to give up a home game for four straight years to have the football team get abused by Missouri in St. Louis over Labor Day weekend.

Ticket sales must really be bad..the Cardinals are offering free tickets to the game if you spend $50 for a ticket to one of the baseball games that same weekend.

Yes, It Was That Long Ago

that Illinois last won a bowl game. Thanks Ron Guenther!

Hope! Will President Hogan Sack Ron Guenther?

"As for football, we've had ups and downs." "Frankly, I have yet to meet Ron Guenther."

Wow, that is being generous!

Football Fan Appreciation Day is August 28!

Will the DIA screw it up, just like the DIA did last season? On the other hand, maybe keeping fans away is a good thing, so Zook & Guenther won't face angry fans!

Another Guenther Failure-No Ice Hockey Team

Lord Guenther must be too busy counting all the money the DIA saved when he whacked men's swimming and the fencing team. Meantime, other schools are close to adding hockey teams.

Comparing Salaries

The Alabama AD, Mal Moore, gets a raise on his salary to $550K per year. Alabama just won the national title in football.

The best AD in the country, Illinois' Ron Guenther, makes $600K per year. The football team is 81-126-2 in his tenure. 5 bowl games in 18 seasons.

BOGGLE!

Ron Zook Kissing the Papal Ring of St. Guenther

Bad enough Zook blamed the fans for last season's turd, now he is trying to win them back! Making dumb comments like this won't help: "There's the best AD in the country."

Zook, YOU IDIOT!
