Your posts in this thread have been incredibly vacuous.





I love it.

Besides recruiting , it looks like Zook can coach 'em up.

At least until they go on NCAA probation anyways.

Zook is clean... (well, as clean as any college coach)

Are you implying college coaches arent clean? Of course some of them aren't, but you would be suprised how many who are know exactly which ones aren't. And they deal with that in their own way...

There is clean, there is semi-clean (bend but dont break the rules), there is clean(ish) (bend the rules, minor infractions) and then there is never-clean (institutionalized rule breaking.) The latter is prevelent in many universities, and the coach, when hired, understands that.

Zook is as clean as any college coach...and yes, there are many that are not...In fairness to coaches, with the NCAA rulebook the way it is, it is almost impossible to NOT have some type of violation, even if you are trying to be clean.

Great article.

The article also reinforces why Notre Dame is the scum of College Football...

Nobody at Illinois will come right out and say it -- at least, not publicly -- but their negative recruiting leader in the clubhouse is none other than Notre Dame, which thought it had a commitment from Benn, but then didn't.

This overstatement makes Touchdown Jesus cry.

Maybe Zook committed the sin of recruiting in Chicago, which has been the property of Notre Dame forever.

You mean I give up Jesus??

Yup

For too long, Notre Dame has taken many of the best players in Illinois.

Illinois is still underrated. They are exciting and are helping to shake up a usually boring Big 11. Only Tressel and Ohio State seem impervious to rebuilding. The Buckeyes truly just reload.

As far as the Notre Dame bashing, eh, some ole same ole. Heard it all before. Will hear it all again.

I still do like Illinois. Zook got screwed by Florida.

You know the score for Illinois - either you love ND, or hate them. No middle ground

And we are glad to have the Zooker!!
