what grade do you give Lovie SMith so far?
« on: June 11, 2020, 08:46:34 AM »
I go

C-

I was not a fan of the hire

It seemed like most people were just excited because he got the Bears to the super bowl never mind the fact he missed the playoffs 7 of his last 8 years

The on field product is BETTER, but at times it also looks bad

The loss to Eastern Michigan was not good, and frankly Illinois should have beat Nebraska but we also got luck against Mich St

I did hate the fact he basically sat everyone against Northwestern, you don't do that in college football, and we didn't even bother showing up for the bowl game. A 8-5 finish would have looked awful good instead of 6-7

The recruiting has been ok. The transfers have really helped, I expected more out of the recruiting from Lovie though

I feel like this is  ahuge year for Lovie and company. A bowl game 2 years in a row builds momentum, a non bowl eligible season is a disappointment

We should go 3-0 non conference, and i can see us going 4-5 or 3-6 in conference

so we should be 6-6 or 7-5

winning 3 of our first 4 big ten games would be huge, that would put us at 6-1 and I could see us going a solid 7-5 maybe a 8-4 with a upset and that wpuld put us at 5-3 in conference

but alas since it's illinois we will end up 3-9

Nice finishing line. lol.
I hoped the hire, along with Hardy Nickerson, would bring some much needed talent to the team. Like the Zooker said, 'It's not the x's  and the o's,  it's the Jimmys and the Joes.
I just looked at the schedule. 3-9 is not out of the question.
Year 1 was a late start, but this is year 5.

I think Lovie has restored a little dignity to the program and improved the roster and continuity from the flaming dumpster fire of scandal it was when he arrived. My heart says this year builds upon the modest success of last year’s team but my brain says 4-8.

You’re really good at ankle biting. Twitter, Parkins, patience.

Between the rapid fire shit going on with you and Spark and taking phone calls that my cousins mother was killed in a car accident, I’m having a hard time keeping up. And my texting sucks if I’m hurried.

Sorry to hear about your cousin's mother. Maybe get the fuck off the boards if you're dealing with family shit, you knucklehead.

There is nothing for me to do. I’ve seen her once in 45 years she lives in Mississippi.

There is a long, long, long gap between you, who are EASILY the worst here about this, and literally anyone else.

No one confidently and incorrectly ascribes an opinion to others here that they didn’t say more often than you, and it is not remotely close

I’ve said 30 times now that your position is justifiable and can be reasoned I have not heard the same
