But I thought Americans hated the blacks especially in Chicago? I saw it on MSNBC

Reminiscent of TW's reception.

That's about as good a hire they could have conceivably had.

Nebraska fans just gave those players a standing ovation.

For real. That program is a dumpster fire. Lovie is probably an idiot, but he can at least convince decent talent to go to Illinois.

And the fact Illinois fired their Gilby to make this move... Whether it works out or not, it was a winner's move.

We should have done that or what Ohio St did with Luke Fickel. Name him interim, then have the next coach keep him on board. Gilby was tremendously successful as an assistant and coordinator.

We (yes we) literally due to the laziest, worthless thing every time. Seeing it again with Cohen now. Only lucked out with Petersen because he basically chose to come here.

This poast shows why we need to add a Nebraska Classy button right before the Chincredible button.

Any guy who has the balls to go through life named Lovie gets my ovation any day.
