clarkwgriswold Posted Thursday at 09:02 PM Author Report Posted Thursday at 09:02 PM Coit was nothing special at Kansas. As I recall, he was a 15 minute/5 or 6 point a night guy. He's not capable of 40 points at that level and attitude-wise was not a fit for the Zips. His chirping at Groce to come get him while on the floor for another team was proof of that. 1 Quote

I have been to games obviously, but I don’t follow them like I do Akron. Still, I don’t want my loyalties clashing. I will say Redbird arena is pretty sweet and rivalry games against Bradley are always sold out and raucous. Quote
Illini Zip Posted 2 hours ago Report Posted 2 hours ago I do support a MAC vs MVC challenge like we are doing with the Sun Belt. A major difference between the 2 conferences is in the MAC when a coach has success he leaves for greener pastures. In the MVC that successful coach takes his school to greener pastures. Believe it or not, Kansas, Louisville, Missouri, Nebraska, Wichita State, Creighton and more were all members of the MVC at one time ages ago. So for ISU to leave would be par for the course. I just don’t want it. Quote

I just don’t want it. Even with the MAC improving some this year it would be a brutal challenge for the MAC. The MAC has a steep drop-off after the top 3 or 4 teams. The MVC usually only has 1-2 cupcakes the MAC ~6. Quote

MVC might not like it for this reason, but it would improve our strength of schedule as a league. I’m in, even if it was just select match ups. Quote
