Why did you wait until 2006?

Illinois had their most dominant team in 100 years and Bruce Weber gave a basketball scholarship to a football player from Georgia.

You’ll have a hard time finding much material where I’m objectively wrong about anything to do with Illinois athletics. And nothing even approaching the level of objective wrong contained in your post I quoted.

Again dimwit, at the time, it looked like a strong possibility that Curbelo and Grandison would be the only returning core players.

And again, imagine being a big enough Underwood homer to think that Texas would prefer him to John Calipari. You are a homer wrapped in a thin veil of “realism.”

It was probably closer to spring of 2005. I didn’t write a diary. When did you start criticizing Weber?

I started signaling the alarm bells with more fervor when we lost out on Sherron Collins. You were probably one of the dimwits quoting Longstreet or whatever his name was. “Show me the canceled check.”

As critical as I was of Weber, I was not completely off the Weber train until the Ohio State loss in 2010.

I’d already earned my stripes as a “Weber hater” well before then, though.

So the guy who basically condemns a coach’s career based on limited information—and then uses limited information as an excuse for being wrong—calls me a dimwit.

Cool.

We’ll see how it goes. I’m hopeful, but not optimistic.

Imagine the level of coach fealty it takes to hear a coach compare his own players to a low-quality racehorse and NOT think “yeah, he definitely shouldn’t have said that.”

I’m hopeful that a middling coach can achieve middling results at Illinois. Clear enough?

Well chatting about him in an Underwood thread isn’t typical Tempo. I was surprised you didn’t start another thread. Anyways….

Bielema hasn’t accomplished jack shit?! You might wanna rethink that assessment. 🤔

I’d already earned my stripes as a “Weber hater” well before then, though.

I wanted him fired after he set the school record three seasons after taking Self’s roster to the title game. I completely checked out of the message boards.

Reluctantly bought in when they signed the 2009 class/got Richmond on board early.

The losses to UIC and Indiana when IU was completely devastated after the Sampson debacle totally did me in.

Like most of us, I am at the cesspool because I was a Self apologist and Weber hater. I got run off all the other boards for speaking the truth.

His biggest accomplishment was inheriting a program from Barry Alvarez. The cachet he earned there has long since dissipated. Even Robb referred to him as “an obese unemployed drinker” 6 months ago. He’s a middling coach getting his 3rd and last shot at a desperate program.

And Custard is the one who brought him up.
