Chief Wahoo is the Cleveland Indians' mascot, a
grotesque caricature grinning idiotically through enormous bucked teeth. He's
a reminder of the days when whites regarded native Americans as savages on the warpath, with scalps dangling from their belts. And it's time for him to go.
Brent Musburger and Steve Lavin's call of the
Illinois-Wisconsin game last night, but it was definitely one
for the ages. Not only did Musburger rant about Tony Romo and Jessica Simpson (ending it with "Ya gotta abstain, buddy") AND ask Steve Lavin if he wants to get a beer after the game.....but he mentioned Erin Andrews going to the Playboy Mansion.
Illinois junior running back Rashard Mendenhall will enter
the NFL draft, a source close to him said
Saturday. Mendenhall, the Big Ten Player of the Year, made his final case as a pro prospect in the Rose Bowl, where he gained 155 yards rushing and added 59 receiving yards in the Fighting Illini's loss to Southern California.

At 4:30 EST on Sunday, the biggest college
basketball game of this young season will take place.
It has the most bad blood and probably the best story behind it of any game this year. Indiana University versus the University of Illinois isn't a ...
Through some investigative reporting, I've gotten my hands
on a couple of entries. From an Illinois student:
Traitor, Eric Gordon / You are a disgrace / You chose another school / So I'll throw bricks at your face / I'm mad because we suck / But my anger is not misplaced / I'm going to cut off your head / Because we need something to fill our trophy case
The Cotton Bowl seems to be the the
consolation prize for being ranked #1 in the nation
and losing your conference championship game to a very good opponent.
SpartyMSU has its votes tallied for the Weekly
Big Ten Basketball rankings…..Frankly.... Whos Gunna Step up and
Challenge The Spartans and Hoosiers ???? Sparty ON...!!!
Gary Williams has been juggling the minutes of
6 freshmen, so much so that many people haven't
seen them all play. An individual breakdown of each Terp freshman, how he's been playing and a general outlook on their abilities.
For most of America, last night's BCS "National
Championship Game" had all the importance of the GMAC
Bowl from the night before. And half of the excitement. Crow all you want LSU fans, very few people outside of Louisiana think you won a legit national title. Sure you got your crystal ball by beating a vastly overrated Ohio State team (they lost to Illinois at home for Christ's sake) 38-24
Okay. There is a lot going on in
this video. To recap, Brent tosses it to Erin,
Erin starts report while Wisconsin fans start an “Er-in An-drews!” chant in the background. Erin smiles and tosses it back. Which was cool. And funny. ...
Tonight is the inevitable day that Eric Gordon
wished would never come. On November 2005, the North
Central High School superstar gave a verbal commitment to Bruce Weber and the Illini. After two years of struggling basketball, Illinois looked locked, loaded and ready to return to its prowess atop the Big Ten. Then the walls came crumbling down. Enter Kelvin Sampson..
When March Madness comes around and Illinois is
sitting at home eating popcorn while watching Eric Gordon
on the national stage, they can look back on February 7th, 2008. The night they almost shocked the world against the Indiana Hoosiers.
Micheal Jordan's son is choosing to become a
walk on rather then take a binding deal with
someone else.
Illinois vs USC... Zook’s Crooks… Whats the old
Saying.. Some times its better to be lucky than
good… Well Zookers has got lucky to make it to the Rose Bowl… But his luck is about to run out…. We just don’t think the Illini are that good…. Lucky....yes.. but Good …questionable….Lets Crack open another beer and some stats… RPI: Zook: 82.10, Pete Carol’s Crew 88.29, Vegas has USC favored by
In what is my childhood favorite bowl game,
the Rose Bowl, I find one of the teams
I like the least in college sports, USC (10-2) and a team that has turned it around under their head coach Ron Zook, Illinois (9-3).
Remember Alex Legion? The former University of Kentucky
player who transfered in December, months after his mother
said she had no clue UK was a powerhouse , but claimed she was a prophet and God steered Legion to Lexington? Well, guess what: ...
So last night I was telling Thermocaster “Don’t
worry: There are no tournament games on the Big
Ten Network”. And then I look at the schedule and … Oh no. From the morons who blocked out half your conference season: ...
Ron Zook's to-do list is shorter than the
ones he had heading into his first three training
camps as Illinois' football coach. But three weeks of work under the central Illinois sun must yield some answers before the nationally televised opener Aug. 30 against Missouri in St. Louis.
Penn State linebacker LaVar Arrington dives over the
Illinois offensive line on 4th and 1.
