Take yourself back to December 2020. Josh Whitman had just dismissed Lovie Smith. Rod Smith was leading the Illini in their final game of the season. And present in the stadium was the new man in charge, Bret Bielema. It was a symbolic and literal changing of the guard in Champaign. Bielema won the gig […]
LOUISVILLE SHOULD HAVE AN AGGRESSIVE GAME PLAN ON DEFENSE Virginia Tech has one of the more inconsistent offenses in the country.

A Head Scratching Season Continues I must admit that this past bye week was extremely relaxing for this beleaguered Clemson fan.

That caused EA to basically make us lose every game, so I decided not to continue with this weekly series. UNTIL EA WOKE TF UP and […]
