Was at that game, not even a college football fan but I got roped into going with a few relatives. With 10 mins left and up by 6 Iowa ran it like 20 consecutive times. That run defense couldn't stop a nosebleed


Iowa had two replacement linemen in the game as well.

More dropped passes. Beaten by a backup QB. Even with the second half lead of 13-10 I never felt like Illinois would win. I hate that kind of feeling. Looked like a good crowd, at least by disinterested Illinois standards.

In that the Illini offense is teetering at the edge of menopause?

32-0 Sanduskys. Fucking lovely.

As an alum, I refuse to watch or listen to any Illini sports until Mike Thomas is fired. Fucking train wreck, we're going to be like Wyoming or South Dakota pretty soon. Can't we hire the NIU AD and figure out how they manage to cheat and get away with it?

Why do you want to put Beth Mowins out of work?

So how much are they willing to pay Tressel?

Also, Chet's Fur Coat, I wish NIU cheated. I really, really do.
Or if they do, I wish they cheated better.

You don't want NIU's AD - if he'd even take the job. He does not want to be anywhere in the midwest, outside of possibly Madison.

Bill Cubit's future at Illinois is still yet to be determined, but one Wednesday-night report indicated the school could be leaning toward keeping Cubit on a bit more permanently.

The Tribune's Shannon Ryan reported that Illinois is "exploring" a two-year contract for Cubit, which would elevate him from his current interim status.

Cubit took over as the team's interim head coach after Tim Beckman was fired a week before the start of the season. Cubit has led the team to a 5-6 record with one regular-season game left to play Saturday against a Northwestern. A win in that game would send the Illini to a bowl game for the second straight season.

Interim athletics director Paul Kowalczyk said in a radio interview Wednesday that a decision would be made on Cubit's future no later than Sunday.

[MORE BIG TEN: Illini interim AD: Decision on Bill Cubit will come by Sunday]

According to Ryan, however, a decision to keep Cubit on would have more to do with an unorganized search for a new athletics director and a short amount of time in which to make that hire.

From Ryan's report:

According to sources, Cubit's future hinges less on the outcome of Saturday's game and more on the program's pressing time frame to make significant hires.

The search for a permanent coach and athletic director is unorganized, the sources said, with program donors taking it upon themselves to attempt to contact candidates with Illinois ties. Interim Chancellor Barbara Wilson is also taking the lead on vetting candidates, a source said.

Mike Thomas was removed as the team's athletics director on Nov. 9 when more ugly details of Beckman's behavior were made public with the release of a full investigative report on the program.

[SHOP BIG TEN: Get your Fighting Illini gear right here]

Cubit has brought stability, passion and positivity to a program that could have been torn apart by the firing of Beckman, who was found to have behaved horribly as the team's head coach with a disregard for the safety and well-being of student-athletes. Cubit has displayed emotion when talking about his players — who have played with noticeable enthusiasm this season — and been vocal and active in trying to rally the community around the team.

Cubit has prior head-coaching experience from his days at Western Michigan and has voiced a desire to remain Illinois' permanent head coach, at one point saying it will be difficult for Illinois administrators to find someone who loves the school as much as he does.

However, for all the great work Cubit has done under challenging circumstances, the team has not played particularly well this season, failing in most every test against quality competition and displaying complete ineffectiveness on offense, Cubit's area of expertise.

If the Illini lose to Northwestern on Saturday, it will be the third time in the past four seasons they've missed a bowl game.

No offense to Cubit, but if they keep him, and not go after an elite coach, they can't be serious about competing in the Big 10.

would the Illinois fans rather have an established guy like Cubit or a young unproven guy like Fleck?

Maybe he can work as a coach but they better find some recruiting ace assistant or something.

Actual quote

#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."


That will inspire confidence to the coaches, players, and future recruits.

What a fucking joke Illinois athletics has become. Its very sad. Giving Cubit a 2 year deal proves that Illinois isnt ready to get serious about rebuilding their football program. I will be shocked if they dont hire the wrong guy as AD.
