An Idea for Saturday's Spring Football Game

Why not allow the first few hundred fans to sit in the suites? It'd be a great advertisement for the suites and Fighting Illini football and you might get a few sales out of it.

Of course, this type of "outside the box" thinking cannot be tolerated by Lord Guenther's DIA!!!

And why are fans only being allowed to sit in the East stands? Is Lord Guenther afraid of the peasants dirtying the West stands?

Baseball Team is 12-19

and according to Loren Tate, "going nowhere." Wow, if ECIMEZ Loren Tate is criticizing a Fighting Illini sports program, Coach Guenther better do something about it! The team is so bad, it has lost to Easten Illinois, Southern Illinois and....BENEDICTINE. BOGGLE!

Seats Being Removed from Horseshoe in Memorial Stadium

Other than a boys reformatory school in Hudson, Ohio, how many sports teams renovate their stadium and then reduce capacity?

GUENTHER'S FOLLY CONTINUES! KALAMAZOO BABY!

Sadly, this is not an April Fools' Joke. Lord Guenther has scheduled Illinois football to play AT Western Michigan in 2016!!!!

1) Why the hell should any Big 10 team play a road game at a MAC school?

2) Did Lord Guenther learn anything from the first Guenther's Folly at Ford Field in 2008?

3) So Illinois football is playing 3 games vs. Western Michigan (Detroit 2008, Champaign 2011 and Kalamazoo 2016) and only 1 is at home?

4) Oh, did I mention that as part of the deal, Illinois hoops had to play AT Western Michigan last season? BOGGLE

5) Hey UI marketing "guru" Chris Hanna: As a WMU alum, did you play any role in this?

6) Do we get to use Big 10 officials instead of MAC officials this time?

7) Illinois is to get paid $400K for the game. UI is paying WMU $400K to play in Champaign next year. But when you include inflation, UI is LOSING MONEY on the deal! RON YOU IDIOT!

A Comparison in How to Market Your Teams in Chicago

This is an interesting article about how Northwestern has tried to market its sports teams in Chicago. The whole "Chicago's Big 10 team" slogan, while annoying, has helped raise its profile. Meantime, the University of East Central Illinois does little, if any, advertising in Chicago. The teams are on a weak-signal radio station in Chicago. UI continues to refuse to advertise itself in the state's biggest market. And UI is supposed to be the state's flagship school when it won't even advertise in Chicago? On the bright side, Lord Guenther is taking down the temporary bleachers that are in the horseshoe in Memorial Stadium!

Illinois Baseball=GRAB SOME BENCH

Illinois baseball lost today to a 9-16 NAIA team. Other than the dope from Hudson, Ohio does anyone think this is evidence of a solid program?

Texas A&M Has Won 6 NCAA Titles in the past 2 Years

with last night's women's basketball victory. Hey Kelly Bond is an assistant coach for the Aggies! She played at Illinois but Lord Guenther didn't hire her to replace Czarina Theresa Grentz! Jolette Law really earning that $310,000 annual salary! Heck I wish Illinois could win 6 Big 10 titles in the past 2 years!

Jereme Richmond Declares for NBA Draft: CBI Next Season!

Man oh man, does UI have any decent big men left? Coach em up, Bubble Bruce!

Bruce Weber Cancels Appearance on WMVP Sports Radio

Bubbles was supposed to be on WMVP radio in Chicago today....Bubbles cancelled. Perhaps he realized Chicago is north of I-80 and that he would be grilled unlike the softballs he gets from the dopes at WDWS radio in Champaign? Bruce, take the Miami job....PLEASE!
