For fun: Kordell Stewart interested in being the coach at Colorado State. His coaching experience? - osklister November 13, 2025, 16:14:34
- Heh...my niece graduated from South Forsyth this May. It's like 30% Indian-American. - ATL November 13, 2025, 16:45:23

- I’m sure they’ll somehow end up with like a $5M investment to get a top transfer QB this offseason* - OB25 November 13, 2025, 13:38:46
  - By "they" I hope you mean "we"... - uofi1998 November 13, 2025, 13:53:58
    - Already seeing some “the staff loves Ethan Hampton” stuff being floated out there - OB25 November 13, 2025, 14:24:54
      - He’s saying that AND making very clear he’s going to be churning the roster of anyone who can’t help - snipes824 November 13, 2025, 15:01:41
        
        I noticed that too. But I didn’t necessarily extend it to the QB position. - opossum jenkins November 13, 2025, 16:19:33
        
        QB is the most critical, if you like Boyd/Hampton it's a huge cost savings - ijustkrushalot November 13, 2025, 17:05:36
        
        Yeah. Illinois FB isn’t gonna go out and pay Darian Mensah prices. Just not finna happen* - opossum jenkins November 13, 2025, 19:16:05

      - It just CAN'T be him. Right?? - illini21 November 13, 2025, 14:28:36
        
        My uneducated guess is that it will be him unless we can find a proven P4 starter - OB25 November 13, 2025, 14:57:37
        
        I think we'd take a high P4 backup who has a great pedigree and a ton of eligibility. - uofi1998 November 13, 2025, 16:21:55
        
        Depends on how scared off by year 1 of Altmyer they are. - OB25 November 13, 2025, 16:44:19
        
        He was still pretty solid Year 1... and got outplayed by a guy putting up Tecmo Bowl #s... - uofi1998 November 13, 2025, 19:42:42
        
        Really need to snag these two top JUCO O-lineman* - illini21 November 14, 2025, 7:37:27

        does a G5 team have to get in? * - illiniranger November 13, 2025, 13:44:19
