PU has lost their last 19 Big10 games.

We had a team effort.

On the heels of that other FAILED AD (Mike Thomas, former U of Cincinnati AD)), who made 2 disastrous "nepo (Ohio)" hires -- Tim Beckman (football, fired for player abuse in Aug/2015) & John Groce (basketball, later fired by Josh Whitman), who got FIRED..

Josh Whitman got hired & promptly FIRED FB coach Bill Cubit (mutli-million $$ payout). Who promptly hired that other LOSER Lovie Smith (couldn't win a Super Bowl with Bears), just to put butts-in-seat at Memorial Stadim

"We WILL win"

Who was FIRED by Whitman for just AWFUL tenure..

Whitman now doing a REPEAT of Mike Thomas -- Mr SUCK, he hired ANOTHER loser Brett Bielema ("re-tread", fired at U of Arkansas). Of course, you get a repeat performance

Naturally, Whitman recently got an extension plus raise. As did Bielema.

How has poker helped you in your job as president of CityCenter?

Poker is not a game of cards; it’s a game of people, just like business. People who think a poker game is a game of cards — we call them losers because they usually lose. You have to understand the people. You have to understand the players. Business is mostly about personnel and understanding the players, which are your employees and customers. Understanding people is everything, whether in a card game or a business.

How long did it take you to figure that out?

I’m still working on it. It’s a lifelong job to understand people. But I figured out early on that poker’s a game of people and not cards, and I’ve known that for a very long time. In a card game, everybody more or less gets the same amount of good hands and bad hands because they’re randomly dealt and randomly generated. But if you’re in an eight-handed card game, each of the eight players responds to the hands differently, even though we all more or less get the same cards. They have hands they don’t know what to do with. They don’t know whether to fold, bet and so on. About two-thirds of the hands nobody can play because they’re just junk hands. But the third of the hands that they’re likely to play, they all play very differently. Each one of them plays the same hands differently. There is a correct way to play a hand, and not many people know how to do that. Most people learn, not through books or computer programs, but through experience. You’ve been in this situation so many times, you’re tired of losing in this situation, so you change your strategy with that particular hand in that particular circumstance — just like business. We’re in this for a profit and the benefit of our stakeholders. And if we’re doing things that we’re losing at, and we can’t justify it, we have to stop it or change it or improve it. And that’s what you do when you’re trying to manage your card game.

^^^ BTW, Bobby Baldwin (from Oklahoma) was the youngest Vegas Poker Champion. He was given an honorary degree from Oklahoma State.

Yes, the SAME OK State where Josh Whitman poached away Brad Underwood..

Ron Guenther & Josh Whitman (aka Guenther Jr) are former U of I players, who became AD -- they're part of the U of I "inbred culture". Josh Whitman is just playing

"checkbook sports (football &  basketball)"

throwing $$ at the problem. People are correct, in wanting Whitman booted..
