I think he'll be servicable for D, rebounding, etc., but he'll still be young, inexperienced. if Painter believes he has a NC shot next year, I think he has to get an experienced 5 and 1-2 other guys from the portal.

A 5, a guy who can play the 2 or 3 and a 1 who can handle it. Both guys that aren’t the 5 should be able to go get their own bucket.

I am quite pleased at the results Odom is getting. He is definitely a recruiter. Signing kids to a team that went 1-11 in the midwest cant be an easy task.

Not easy at all.

Not getting top guys but getting guys who have played and can absolutely contribute for us.

Yes for sure. Not debating that!

So far, looking like Illinois is better built this year (I hate admitting it 😂)

They definitely know who they are. Not a great defense but that offense is crazy good.

My wife's baby brother is 60. He's a contractor working in the aviation industry abd has lived in Taiwan for ten years. He married a girl in her mid-30s. While battling cancer he became a father for the first time. He is in remission and his son just turned one. He owns a house in Pensacola and one at Tecumseh Bend. The intent is to be living back her by summer.

I'm 72. Hate to see it but my old classmates are fading. My mother was the oldest of a large family. Her youngest sister is 86 and still as sharp as a tack. As long as she keeps going, it gives me an incentive.

My best man and three of my 5 groomsmen are passed. .... oh hell, I didn't need to think about that

He played the whole season with a torn all and was second team all big ten. Don’t pretend like he was handicapped in their game.

Handicapped? No. Miraculous? Even more so. Just another crazy part of a historical season.

my only complaints. 1) this is a small complaint but there are too many teams. Football is not like basketball. 8 teams would be fine. 2) going to 8 eliminates the bye which i also dont like 3) seeding is my biggest complaint. You can give auto entries without locking teams into seeds. Also, the committee has too much power. Theyve already got a ranking system based on computer models like bball...use those. 4) nobody should have a home game.

Could you imagine actually making this Ohio State team sit at home because you for some reason believe 8 teams is enough for a division of football(CBS) with over 130 teams. Have you ever wondered why talent never spread out? That's because for the longest time, only 5-6 teams really had any shot because of the BCS. It didn't change but with the 4 team. But 12? Now you have Indiana, SMU, Arizona State and Boise State in the playoffs? That's great for the long run. I could see getting rid of home games. But I'd go to 16 and section of 4 chunks of the 1st and 2nd round into different cities like the NCAA tourney does. Indy, St. Louis, New York, LA, Vegas, Dallas can all host games in the 1st round. You could make the 2nd round be the Big 4 Bowls(Rose, Fiesta etc). Final 4 and championship game would be its own thing.

Looking like a real suck down here in southern IL. Up to an inch of freezing rain/ice. Just hope the power holds out.

I did a small homestead for a few years. My best man was an AGR... became a veterinarian ... died of a brain tumor after having 4 daughters before he was 40 (and died) .... If you're N of C'ville, it doesn't look too bad now.
