Meltdown Mode Alert--Illinois fires Football Coach

Growing up in central Illinois, It really sucks seeing the university athletic department falling. It needs a huge overhaul. I know it's not a typical dominate sports program but it's definitely in the toilet. Would not be suprised to see the men's basketball coach Groce be fired next.

I became a Razorback fan during the downfall of the Petrino scandal. As all of you lifetime fans be very thankful for the support of the fans, donors and historical success that you've had. I wish the University of Illinois had the fire and drive that Arkansas and the SEC has going.

It's truly a very disgusting state that the State of Illinois is in as well. From debt, politics and agenda of public school and higher education are in. I'm getting out of the military soon and the only reason why I am moving back is for the educational benefits that the Illinois VA offers. If not I would be moving to NWA and attend the U of A.

Marine Corps Recruiter in Harrison for 3 years. Recruited, Boone, Carroll, Madison, Marrion, Newton and Searcy Counties. Was there from 2011-1014.

Haha for always being on the road, sports talk with bo kept it interesting. And I got suckered in by the fan support. I've been all over the country and I'll say there are no better true fans than Razorback fans!

I think I spent more time following football recruiting than I did my own recruiting. But there are some damn fine young men that I enlisted in that area. Last month I went golfing with a few of them that are stationed out at Lejeune. Even crazier I had a kid I enlisted out of Kingston that checked into my unit.

Illinois is one of those programs you just have to shake your head at. They should be a legitimate sports powerhouse across the board but they aren't.

Also, to our Marine recruiter, where did you grow up? I have a friend from around Beardstown (if I spelled that right).

Well thank you. I know Im not an Alumni but I am a true fan! Hoping to get my degree and move to NWA in the future.

You'll get to watch (maybe) an electrifying RB there named Korliss Marshall if he can get his shite together and stay out of trouble. Too bad CBB had to run him off. Burner. Sure he will return KO's as well.

Yeah it's the Panthers. Romo and Garoppilo are EIU Quarterbacks. One of my high school coaches was Romo's backup at Eastern.
