I just can't fathom how this team could go 11-7 in the B10. I think 7-11 would be a stretch. Perhaps I'm being too negative but the past few seasons have given me almost nothing to be optimistic about.

They are picked to be upper division of conference this year. Suggesting 7-11 goes against analysts. I'm not saying it's going to happen, but 2 games into the season isn't the time to make comments about Groce.

First 1-3 start for Illinois since 1965-66. They need to be winning some games or it isn't going to matter what they do in the B1G.

How about 4 games in? 1-3 record. Losses to Chattanooga, Providence and North Florida. That's cool with you?

Why don't you read what I posted after last night's game instead of trying to be a smartass fresh out of the gate this morning? He just isn't a very good in-game coach. Very disappointing.

I read your post but you didn't criticize Groce at all.

Wouldn't it be great if JimJohnson was only able to post in this thread?

It's kind of hard for someone to be a smartass when he is actually a dumbass.

Groce' crazy lineups and substitution patterns aside...JCL is a baller! Well deserved #1 on the Top Ten plays of the day.

Hopefully whoever that would be would be smart enough to start Finke and not have Lewis and Austin out there at the same time.

There are some good coaches that will be available. Let's hope Illinois offers more than 500k and a bag of balls.
