I'm posting this because of the comments by readers at the end of the article on why Illinois lost Froling to SMU. You have to answer a couple of stupid questions for access but its worth it.

Some of these are pretty good, lol.

"That's how they try to impress recruits--take them out in the cornfields to Market Place Mall? No wonder Coach Grimace can't close the deal on elite talent."

"Perhaps a trip to Moonpie's home to see his Star Wars and Star Trek figurine collection would be more enticing for future recruits."

ALL CAPS COMMENTS GUY IS VERY SERIOUS ABOUT IT

They seem---upset to lose a player to SMU

Its obvious that Groce is Moonpie, but I'm not sure if he's Grimmace as well or if its their athletic director.

Oops, I missed the part where he called him Coach Grimmace.

Groce recruited Nic pretty hard.
