University of Illinois

I miss (and love) Monical’s Pizza.

Bring back a Craig Virgin!!!

New coaches take time to build a rapport with athletes. Illinois has a lot of talent, willing to put in the work. Probably went over board this summer. Sometimes coaches need to hold their athletes back. However the athletes need to respect the coach enough to listen to them.

TRANsLATION - young got shot coach thinks he will be the next Bill Bowerman and pounds kids into the ground with their “energy”. And since coach thinks he was the most important ingredient, it must now be the kids fault they’re not awesome.

Or, you’re overcoaching and having kids race 3 (hopefully 4) races for a total cross country season.

This sport and coaches have changed tons.

Not coaching well or recruiting well. Some of the best HS runners leave state.

Heard Haveman couldn't even make a mid major school successful so letting her taking the reins at a big 10 school seems like a big mistake.

I believe Davis is taking a scheduled redshirt season. I'm too lazy to look for it now, but it was announced before the season on something official from the school.

Woah I didn't realize Stewart left. So haveman is both the men's and women's coach? She was the women's coach at Purdue a couple years ago but can't believe she is head at IL for both gender's.

The answer is that Stewart left. He was doing a great job with in-state recruiting, getting the real studs for the first time in a long time, and he seemed to be getting pretty solid results from them.

Ok, so that’s what I was thinking. But then, I just looked at the roster, and it’s only a 14-man squad these days. The two studs in Davis and Reiser haven’t raced for some reason. That’s a killer. Zack Smith, a veteran and 3rd-5th man scorer in years past, also hasn’t raced. So it looks like it’s pretty much all newbies and second-stringers in there right now, and the team’s about as bad as you’d expect.

I could have told them that hiring Haveman was a big mistake, but we were happy to get rid of her at Dayton.

Zach Dale is no better than high school.

Whatever happened to Garcia’s pizza? Drugs do the brothers in?

Transferring couldn’t be easier. Enter your name into database and see what schools have full rides available. Davis could go to Oregon!

I'm pretty sure this a joke but wouldn't it be neat if there was a database where someone kept track of scholarships available at a school?

Leaving a school is easier but entering another school is still confusing and difficult.

Illinois has a good many HS coaches that are better than the Illini's coach.

Whatever happened to Village Inn Pizza on University Avenue bear Round Barn?

Keep looking up at us, FIBs! Tell us how our @ss tastes.

When and why did he go to Gonzaga?? Will Reiser bolt to Wisco?
