    New Tailgating Rules: Too Strict or About Time?

    I really don't agree with this at all, its stupid to put up check points on Melrose. All they are going to accomplish is driving people away from attending the games. If they want to do a checkpoint, set up shop right south west of kinnick and nail all the people who drive out after the games...

    Another perfect game?

    That pitcher needs to be shown all over the TV and on video's to little kids. The way he handled that situation was the best display of sportsmanship I have ever seen! Everyone else on his team was going nuts, the coaches were going nuts. He just smiled and walked back to the mound. That...

    Hotels in Evanston, Minneapolis, and Bloomington

    Hey guys gonna make all 3 road trips this year and I was just wondering if anyone had any suggestions for hotels? I am pretty sure we can find one around chicago (been there several times.) But Bloomington and Minneapolis scare me. I have never been to either place and just kind of wondering...

    Would you pay $1500 ...

    I would pay it, but I know the U of I would have to give me some prime time seats, prime time parking and also start selling beer at the stadium! OSU does that because of their tradition and they are also a LARGER university. But I still can't believe they have people pay that much. No wonder...

    Who will be the biggest Impact player not getting HYPE now in 2010 FB Season?

    I am gonna go with Herman. He is a great ball player and I think he will step into that TE position and play it well. Him and Reisner will dominate the big ten, Stanzi likes throwing to his TE's alot! Plus with our size and speed at receiver this year, the TE's are gonna get more looks! I think...

    Officials/Umpires w/ agendas (egos)

    I am just guessing if he is working the conference Finals, he must of been pretty good through out the year. Most of those officials are voted on by the coaches and the league assigns the best officials for the playoffs. The guy must be doing something right if was voted by the coaches as one...

    Officials/Umpires w/ agendas (egos)

    I am not sticking up for Ed hightower. he is one of the worst in the game. IDK what he has on the NCAA, but there are SEVERAL officials who hate to work with him. He is will take a call from 30ft away, when there is an official right there. I was actually at a game that he officiated and fans...

    Officials/Umpires w/ agendas (egos)

    Yes TCHawk you are so wise. These officials love being in the spotlight, this is their whole dream is to be recognized on national tv. Do you realize all these guys have other professions. They don't just officiate, they have other jobs that they do. The strictly do this because it is something...

    Officials/Umpires w/ agendas (egos)

    got a few white sox fans in the crowd today. All I am saying is these guys constantly argue calls and they are more worried about their contracts than actually winning a game. I am not an old man I am in my upper 30's. I have officiated at college and pro levels and it isn't easy. The players...

    Officials/Umpires w/ agendas (egos)

    So if a player walks up to you and calls you an f*cking idiot and constantly is riding your @ss about a call you made. the official should just let it go? You get your butt out there and try it, it isn't easy having players down your neck the entire 60min of game. Sometimes these players need...

    Officials/Umpires w/ agendas (egos)

    So none of those guys said anything to the umpries/officials? They just stood there and got ejected/T'd up for just looking at the official? I highly doubt that, the said something or possibly said something earlier in the game to the official that could of caught the officials attention. I am...

    who's your starting 5?

    My guess is: 1. Payne- with Marble spelling him at times 2. Gatens- He will not come off the floor 3. May- he is another who will not see many bench minutes 4. Basabe- He and Archie will rotate a lot 5. Cole- he and cougs will rotate a lot. Also watch for fran to go possibly to a 4 guard set...

    Any one else worried about the football team this year?

    I am concerned hell we could lose to arizona, ISU, PSU, OSU, @ Michigan, @ NW. I could see Iowa going 11-1 and I can also see us going 6-6. I personally do not know what to expect, we return a lot of Talent from last years squad. BUT we also got all the lucky bounces, and all the breaks last...

    WTB :: Any available football tickets for 2010

    I am current season ticket holder, wondering if we got our two add-ons. I wonder how they are going to handle that whole situation? I know they stated in the paper that, "she is gonna revise them and pick the most $$$ donors selections." So i doubt we get ours, but i was wondering why they keep...

    Football Season Ticke Requests Nearly DOUBLE Supply

    If you want to know where all those extra season tickets are at, go look on ebay, stubhub. There are people out there who will donate the top dollar and they will get the U of I attention by saying we can sell these tickets for so much and give the left over $$ back to university. Its a scam by...

    Well i doubt I get my extra 2 i put in for. Glad to still have 4 so the family can attend every weekend! I can't believe that the new customers were that high. WOW trying to scalp a ticket at kinnick next year could be costly!

    Any Season Ticket Updates?

    They are charging me for 6 which I ordered. We have our usual 4 I know for sure, I am just waiting to hear back about the other two. You would think there would be a better way to do this, instead of having people pay for the tix, and then issue them a refund. I did hear last year, a buddy of...

    Roster as of 5/03/10

    I was impressed the way Culley played against Michigan in the Big Ten tournament. If he can have a game like that once in a while, we will be fine! I do agree thought, Fran needs to find someone to spell him a bit. If has to play 40 min a game each night, he is gonna be dawg tired by December!
