Some Cool Stuff

Now that my pulse is returning to normal after Saturday night and we begin to look forward to our game against Rick "Louisville Is My Home, I Swear" Pitino and his Cardinals I have a few random thoughts...

This team is getting way too much press to post it all here...so here are a few observations...

I was pleasantly surprised to log on to ESPN's basketball website today and see a photo of our guys...

Gregg Doyel is doing a feature on each of the Final Four teams...today he has a nice article on Bruce Weber...

Speaking of Weber, I'm sick of the national radio folks talking about Pitino, Roy and Izzo and then saying something like, "and then there's second-year Illini coach Bruce Weber"...maybe it's just me but it makes it sounds like he has no experience...after 18 years under Keady and his tourney runs at Southern, we all know better...I mean, I seriously think he's ready for his own recruiting commercials sponsored by American Express...

Even though it's a day old, nice article in the Peoria Journal Star by Bill Liesse on Luther...

The Unversity has a full slate of events, including a sendoff at the baseball field Wednesday night, a watch party at Assembly Hall if Illinois makes the title game and a celebration at Memorial Stadium April 5...

Finally, spring football practice started today...I'm looking forward to seeing what the Zooker is going to do with the program...
