Wow Illinois is terrible

[PlutoDroid]

I know Ohio State is proficient at beating the little sisters of the poor but geesh. How does a program in a state with so many good players suck so bad, so much?

They call the Zook years the zenith of Illini football.

Nobody wants to go to school in Champaign.

They all went North(western).

Is Champaign a bad area or is the school itself not that highly thought of to football players?

Under Mike White they were good in the 80's. 40 - 26 in the conference and had some really good QB's.

Down 38 to nill, maybe Lovie can ask Urlacher if he and Lance Briggs have any availability.

I think Gary Barta Jr is their AD.

Maybe they should move to the Big Twelve where defense is optional
Although their offense is pretty bad too. Living in the shadow of Northwestern must be cold.
