Any sign of ThaKid101? I would love to hear about the All-American team that should be undefeated, how they are still the best team in the B1G, yadda yadda yadda. I miss those little sessions of hilarity.
Um. tha kid got banned, so whats the freaken point to continue this? Thats why i said it should be locked. If a poster is no longer here, whats the point of keeping the thread going?
According to the Urban Meyer thread over there.

How did I miss this piece of awesomeness when it was published almost two weeks ago?

http://articles.chicagotribune.com/...ch-beckman-smokeless-tobacco-illinois-ranks/2

Bowsher and two other donors, whose aggregate contributions are estimated to total more than $1 million, told the Tribune they planned to stop contributing beyond current commitments until a change was made at athletic director.

Loss of financial support would come at a bad time for Illinois as it tries to raise funds for its Assembly Hall renovation project. Thomas said he didn't believe many donors had cut ties and hasn't had conversations with any who have.

"My university has been hijacked by a bunch of outsiders. I am absolutely furious," one of the big donors said. "I am absolutely finished. The checkbook is sealed. I am done.

"I don't know anyone who's excited or enamored with this current AD and the direction he is taking this administration. This isn't about Tim Beckman to me. ? I don't fault Tim Beckman for taking the job. It's obviously a terrific opportunity for him."

Bowsher is an Illinois alum who said he has been contributing time and money to the university for more than 20 years. His issues stretch well beyond the athletic department to the university board of trustees and former President Michael Hogan, but his experiences with Thomas have left him questioning his leadership ability.

"I don't think Mike Thomas is capable in any fashion," Bowsher said. "He's extremely weak from a personality standpoint. I don't see anything there that would tell me we would have success with him as athletic director."

:lol:

Don't feel sorry for Mike Thomas, this was only printed in the Chicago Tribune. I doubt anybody even read it.

Stadium&main has blackdream.

Oh well, at least that whole FoxSportsNEXT thing wasn't a complete and total fucking disaster that highlighted how incompetent the entire Scout network is.

illinidarrin? He's another one of the illini schmucks that infiltrated this board and showed his ass a couple of summers ago. I think he and kid were a magnificent tandem of blind stupidity. He defended kid til the end over there.

Mind boggling to believe that some boards have even lower standards than BP ain't it?

Re: What are friends on OSU Scout are saying about UI coaching

Buckeye grammar is fun to laugh at:

"Beckman's is a defense coach. his resume shows as much (and as a DC he was never been dominate)"

From the thread titled:

I actually think Auburn could do a lot worse than to hire Ron Zook. No question the guy can recruit, and it would be hard to do worse as a game-day strategist than Gene Chizik. He might be a good fit at Kentucky, too.
