Did you see new locker rooms? I hear they are crazy nice....

Didn't go in there. Tim L gave me the tour of the house. His office is great too. Saw all the art for future plans ect.

Where the plans for new Natatorium on display?

I was just up in all the offices today.They look great! No one could leave an office like that .

Considering what he spent on his office (while preaching poverty and asking us for more money), it had better be nice.

They deserve quality. THEIR AT SMU

U of I, my worst fears growing up (in Chicago) was my dad threatening us that if our grades weren't up to par in high school he would send us there. In those days they were forced to admit any high school student with a "B" average, then flunked out half the class in the first semester.

Unfortunately, U of I not only sits in a cold windy flatland, but Obama and his buddies have bankrupted the state, worse than California--no more money for the school's athletic projects or competitive salaries.

THEIR AT SMU

As a Chicagoan, don't underestimate U. of Illinois. Great conference, tough academics (if you aren't Top 5-10% of your HS class, you won't get in Champaign.) Very competitive in BB.

I know it is a terrrific school my brother finished there and went on to law school there. But, they haven't played football since Butkus left.

U of I is very hard to get into, but they defn don't have a lot of cash....I would doubt they could pay more than we pay....

[gostangs]

they are not all that hard to get into - not that it matters.

[NickSMU17]

U of I instate is harder than SMU...

U of I instate is harder than SMU...

Absolutely. Desparate applicants apply to Agricultural School and transfer out after a year. With the cost of educating climbing rapidly, in-state U. of I tuition is highly desired, including those on the North Shore.

Is a poor recent history in football an argument that can be applied as a reason why Steve-O wouldn't take a job? I hate to mention this, but we didn't win a lot of games over the past couple of decades before Eric Dickerson handed Coach Jones to him. Maybe he'd see the Brinks truck that comes with an Illinois offer and think a prominent UI alum will hand him a savior coach there, too, thinking if "he" did it at SMU, "he" could do it up there, too. Personally, I still think it all would come down to the size of a contract offer.

That said, we have no idea that anyone at Illinois wants to consider Steve-O — just that some hack at that newspaper thinks he might emerge as a candidate. There's a long way between those two dots.

Politics? Companies are relocating to Wisconsin, the state is broke, the Governor was caught selling a certain US Senate seat, and the party in power that handled and passed the excessive spending bills while the President was a state senator is just fact.
