    Are you guys worried that if Cubit does well enough he'll keep the job? Would you be ok if that were the case? They look so much better.

    Not worried because I think he's an ok coach. I'd prefer they find someone else though

    kind of conflicted on this...as much as I love an offseason coaching search, this team already looks 10x better under Cubit than they did last year...I'd be fine with it I think

    What a cursed year.

    Injuries to our best and second best football players. (Dudek and Ferg) And Teko Powell

    Injuries to our 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 6th best basketball players (Nunn, Black, JCL, and Abrams)

    And of course, Darius Paul's foolishness got him kicked off the basketball team

    I could be wrong but Black is supposed to be back by the first game of the season right? Dudek is expected back this season too at some point isn't he? I'd probably just keep the redshirt on him all year.

    Black could be back soon, yes. Sounds like Dudek will be redshirted.

    Probably depends on if the AD gets fired. If he does, I'm sure the next AD will want to bring in his own guy.

    Look for shad Khan to be more involved. Hear he has a candidate he is pushing for AD. Expect a Chancellor first, and soon, then an AD and a new FB coach.


    Would be huge to get Khan back in the fold

    So...is there any hope for the football game tomorrow? I'm going with no

    Any thoughts on basketball? Watched the first game and was very surprised with the freshman. JCL is going to be a star

    hey guys

    good luck tomorrow. With this tOSU team, you never know if it'll be a game or not. I kinda feel like this is the game where OSU takes it up a notch, but that may just be me being hopeful. Also depends on the weather

    With Tate out the youngins will get plenty of time to figure it out. After last night it better be quick or this season could get away quickly.

    Think we stick around for a bit then ultimately get rolled. They are saying 10 to 20 mph winds with a high in the low 60s, its not terrible here in CU right now. Good luck to you guys, after today of course

    Two year deal is crazy. It needs to be 3 or fire him. Hopefully they get an AD in there first and make a more lucid decision.

    Reportedly Khan went and met personally with George in Colorado yesterday.

    Also sounds like Babers isn't an option.

    @JWernerScout: #illini AD Paul Kowalczyk on 2-year deal: "It's not ideal but for now, I don't think it'll put a dagger in the heart of the program."
