Looks fair to me. I'll sign up to a 15-5 B10 record. Beat Indiana early and we will control the conference.
Let's start the trip early in Pasadena on Jan. 1st. Make it real west coast tour!I don't know but tempted to hit the Pacific northwest for the games vs Oregon and Washington. What's winter like at the time and any nearby skiing worth visiting.
May stay out on west coast instead of flying back after 1/2 and coming back 1/6...it would make more sense
Planning to be there Jan 5th
Agreed. There was so much turnover in our conference we don't know who is going to be good or bad. I do know a lot of teams didn't make the turnover in talent as good as we did during the offseason.The conference schedule is completely manageable, probably middle of the road. Biggest thing is that every game will be against a team that finishes below the Illini in the conference standings.
I'd love to check out Eugene and Seattle a few days apart. Don't know if I'll be able to swing it, though. I live near sacramento, so there will definitely be more opportunities to see my Illini in person with the new teams.I might. I think the kids will be out of town though on 1/2.
can anybody illuminate me? what happened with Tim Anderson????
No sour grapes with TJ and the rest of the program…correct?There’s a lot to it … Lot I won’t share here …
The one thing that’s kind of leaked out that is true is that TA wanted to be compensated on an Antigua type of level … He was on the last year of his deal following an elite 8 run and he felt he deserved an extension and raise to 900k - 1 million per year …
Instead of giving him that … We gave that to Antigua …
That didn’t go over very well …
There’s other things as well but that’s what I’ll share publicly …
Memphis is very much back on the table for TA is what I’ve been told …
Kwa will fill in for now … Brad has his target for the spring when he will fill the position … it’s a name I’ve mentioned here already … They’ve already talked numbers but it was bad timing with season starting, kids just started school, wife didn’t want to uproot her life or the kids life at this time so we wait until spring … Course long time between then and now so things could change but as of now … Brad is locked in on that coach

Sean miller was brought up as a potential head coaching candidate if underwood were to jump ship. Sean miller is not coming to Illinois to be an assistant.
