Rumors are starting to swirl around Billy Donovan, not having a great year with the Bulls.

Wondering if this also has to do with NIL in a way and the players having more power than ever. The coaches have always had the freedom to move jobs and now the players do to and can get paid. Harder to build things for coaches, might as well leave jobs even if the seat is only lukewarm and keep...

That was a fun ending!

Wasn’t the Big Ten season only 18 games during Clem’s tenure? Ben has then had 6 more chances at those 15 victories. I’d also guess the conference was deeper to to bottom with probably just Northwestern & Penn St. Didn’t Norwood fire Tubby after winning an NCAA tourney game?

Kinda like our current coach!

Allstate Arena would be better logistics wise for hotels & restaurants & closer to O’Hare, but it’s not as nice an arena as the UC.

Went to a game in Gentile when it had pullout bleachers a long time ago and then saw it a couple years ago and it was soooo much better!

DePaul has been wandering in the desert for nearly 40 years. Their arena situation is so bad. They went from playing games at Allstate arena in the suburbs near O’Hare airport to playing in Wintrust Arena on the near south side, either place is bad for students and Wintrust is terrible to get to...

That was nuts. Some bad decisions by Illini down the stretch

Fun fact, Wicks & Dennis Gates were on the same staff for a couple years at Northern Illinois under Ricardo Patton.

I remember Norwood saying at one his talks to donors that even if schools like Iowa & Wisconsin had the same capacity as The Bank, the U would still be $3-4 million less in revenue to the athletic department than those two schools.

I went to google earth and measured Williams, Hinkle, & Welsh-Ryan for width. Williams is the widest at 244 feet. I’m no architect but I did stay in a Holiday Inn Express last week, so in my expert opinion, it’s doable and would make site lines better and more space available under the stands...

Coach Norman Dale had the boys from Hickory measure the court in Hoosiers and it was the same size as their little gym in the little hometown :-)

As ive stated in previous posts about the barn, the court needs to be turned 90 degrees, similar to Hinkle and Welsh-Ryan at Northwestern. It would create so much more room under the grandstands and put more seats between the baselines. The suites could go between lower & upper deck instead of...

No more room on their lakefront, the indoor football practice facility is on the lakefront and it’s amazing.

I like the thought but not a chance Leipold leaves KU for this mess. I’m sure he’s on a few SEC schools radar.

They might look at their starter or 2nd stringer, both of whom might be out of a job

Texas Tech-KState game on FS1. Freshman QB for Tech just took them 99 yards for a TD. Starter out with an injury and this kid looks pretty good.

See Tang at Kansas State!
