Fellow TE fans on here - you know who you are: while technically a "slot" in positional vernacular, the potential of what this dude might be able to do for us schematically in tandem with the conventional stuff has me drooling.
I like the arcs filled in on C, but the state of Illinois, while a cool feature as a stand-alone, is too busy with everything else going on (too bad the CEFCU logos gotta be there for obvious reasons).
Ideally, again with the caveat there's no way in hell from a marketing/identity/brand angle...
Locals I'd like to do, at least alternating, with the occasional "WOW" two-for-one, or even a clutch H-H like the SLU deal:
TIER 1: Marquette /Butler/Purdue/Iowa State/Wisky...
after that, I have a hard time with 2-for-1's - maybe need to spread out more geographically
TIER 3: as they sit...
Who cares the motivation? Isn't the largest cog in this beyond the games and such (the real appetizer for us legit fans), and more what greases the mechanism most in terms of exposure and donor $$$. Anything that brings more people out = a marketing +

Mal goes off. Foster double-doubles.
Barkeep, throw me another shot of that tasty Red Kool-Aid!

I have admittedly done a 180 on my opinions of this staff. Sure, I'll make the excuse, I am turning into an old fart and internally pass myself off as some sage (pun intended) that can see through "coach speak" - but these guys really are "coaching up" these dudes. The evolution and transition...
Cautiously optimistic, but what the hell, this past weekend has me doing keg-stands of Red Kool-Aid.
BU overdoes it on Johnny Cash so Mal steps up with a renewed confidence.
Foster gives them interior fits and Chase finally starts getting some mild respect calls, resulting in Wardle's grumpy...
I like Judson's intensity coming in and out of the timeouts these past few games, his working the refs, etc. Kinda fun.
And this team in general just has this cameradic enthusiasm. Such a 180 from the perceived "vibe" around the team earlier.
I'm gladly eating crow and loving the evolution of...
