Illini sports.........just so effing depressing. Can't figure out how the big 2 can be in such shitty shape. They just can't seem to make the right hires and that affects getting kids there.

If I am not mistaken, the baseball and tennis teams have performed well.

..wearing my Illinois sweatshirt.. I am an Illini Alum many years ago.. I watch with no passion but curiosity.. Illinois draws 3 star talent where others nearby...Wisc, Ohio, Mich and Mich State..others..draw from the top.
Difficult to see where/how the football program could succeed given that and what I hear is second tier facilities..

Same here with my adopted team..after 40 years here in Tucson.. Arizona Wildcats,, Yes I do have a couple sweaters and shirt..gifts but I wear them to games when I go.

Arizona is a "basketball" school..as was Illinois until recently..but both are second tier football programs. Arizona has recently upgraded and is continuing to improve facilities and player development.

What can you do.. Born and raised in Illinois but 40 years here in Tucson..

GIVE ME A GOOD FOOTBALL TEAM DAMMIT..someone..either one..
