" What none of you seem to understand is that only ISU football can take ISU basketball where it needs to be. Or is it the other way around? I forget... but I really mean it! "

" I believe the point on the statement regarding the number of scholarships was that Illinois might play teams like Penn State versus WIU, but they also have more scholarships than a team like ISU and should be playing comparable competition, like a Penn State. Not saying ISU should remain where they are, just saying that you seem to have missed the point on the reason that statement was made. Clear what your position is though. "

" ISU chooses to offer less scholarships. Somehow NIU, Ball St., Kansas St., Bowling Green, Washington St, Middle Tenn St., etc have been able to fund the scholarships. It gets a little old hearing the scholarship situation as an excuse, ISU chooses mediocrity (IAA) in football. How long can they keep defending mediocrity? "

" No hostile ISU vs. ILLINOIS here...say what you want but Western Illinois is not Penn State...but the birds are looking really good. Much more fun to go to a Bird game than the Illini now. But the level of competition is a little skewed. "
