Illinois Fighting Illini (you'll see)

I'll put authentic Chicago South Side rib tips in the Pepsi Challenge against any BBQ and certainly dried out, over-cumin'd, over-peppered Texas brisket.

I've never heard of any Texan putting cumin on their brisket. Just salt and a heavy coating of black pepper to make a crust is the accepted standard. And you can't over pepper. I guess you're not a fan of steak au poivre.

I remember when Urban made the players take off their headphones during the walk to and from Skull Session saying the fans are there for them and they should be present for their outpouring of support. (I can't recall his exact words.) He said he knew of one Big Ten coach who would pretend that he was on a phone call to avoid interacting with fans when they went on a team walk. I'll bet anything that coach was Bielema.

I like it. It will probably fail because it's Illinois, but a coach that's familiar with and had success in the Big Ten, what the hell does this program have to lose?

9 or 10 games a year?

$4.2 million. He inked a six-year contract with the Fighting Illini, with an annual salary of $4.2 million, the school announced as a press release. He will not be serving as head coach on Saturday when Illinois takes on Penn State in State College, but he will be at the game, the school says.

And up to $25.2M over 6 years (especially if he gets fired after only a couple years).

How do I keep forgetting that Bert is at Illinois now?
Back in the Conference he trashed.
In the same division as the school he completely f*cked over.
That school is the perennial power in that division.
This is gonna be fun!

I look forward to Wisky curb stomping them year after year, and the glorious boos that will reign down on Bert when he returns to Camp Randall
