Illinois Fighting Illini (you'll see)

Zook is bringing the SEC to the Big Ten. He's so slimy.

Illinois knew it was getting a strong recruiter, if not a top football strategist and disciplinarian, when it hired Zook.

Sorry, I just enjoyed reading that one. I am a little surprised that assistants from opposing Big 10 schools would allow themselves to be quoted, you don't see that too much. Those preseason Big 10 meetings might not be as cordial as they once were.

After doing the catering for Florida's national championship season, Ron Zook brought out some tantalizing appetizers for Illinois' famished football fans Wednesday when he announced his recruiting class.

Just watching Regis and Kelly. Regis being the Golden Domer Homer that he is, was discussing ND's class (ie Paulson). He then went on about Illinois' class. Saying things like "The perennial Big Ten doormat, the team that won two games last year, all of a sudden has one of the top recruiting classes. Hmmmm....."

Kelly: "You make it sound so sinister"

Regis: I wonder if something sinister is going on. They won two games last year and then get a class like that? Something's going on.


To me, that's Regis telling the NCAA to head to Champaign. He all but accused Zook of cheating.

He's so slimy.

And what are you basing that on?

I'm sorry you find it difficult to look at a hot blond before 10am. My condolences.

Zook is slimy. Coach Tressel is slick. Llloyd is still pissed. The Big Ten meetings could be very slippery this year.

Everyon knows the Zookster is a work out freak. I'd love to see him lose his temper at the meetings and just flat knock Carr out.

I guess I don't get all of the Zook bashing/accusations.

He can sell playing time in a great conference at a major school.

I mean he was a great recruiter at Florida so why not at Illinois?

I really don't think anyone is arguing his ability to recruit. Coaching on the other hand...

People calling him "slimy" and the such.
