Underwood to Illinois

Plus, Champaign-Urbana > Stillwater

Any large campus town/city in America > Stillwater

I always feel outgunned when I hear about these college towns. Storrs had a DP Dough, a Sgt Peps and 2 and a half bars and one was usually closed due to underage drinking. At least we had Spring Weekend, but not really anymore.

Where the hell is T Boone Pickens? Does he only care about football?

The Big 12 teams not named Kansas, Oklahoma, and Texas should expect more of this. They told the world last year that they were not interested in being a conference over the long term. Coaches and agents are not idiots.

Sorry I meant where he went to school and grew up. Yeah I knew Austin but did not know about Weber. Weber could be the tie on then?

Looks like he spent 10 years at Western Illinois and thought highly of the Illinois job from being there

Pretty much everyone who coached at a successful B-10 hoops school has said that Illinois is the best situation in the conference. The theory is that doing a good job of recruiting Chicago (doesn't even need to be great) is enough to be ranked every year.

Yeah, they have been saying that for a long, long time. Never seems to really happen, at least not for long.

Plus, Champaign-Urbana > Stillwater

That's like saying Roseanne Barr > Rosie O'Donnell.

Surprised Illinois is willing to pay that much.

Illini fans THINK they have one of the 5 best jobs in America. Seriously. They do think they just spun faster than IU on this ground ... and if IU knew Underwood was available, they might have more to offer.
