BERT ain't won jack in a loooooong time. Hasn't won jack at Illinois and really he sh*t the bed vs two really bad Indiana and Sparty teams otherwise he would've had 10 wins and been playing in the conference championship. That've been something to sunshine pump about at Illinois. Sunshine pumping over an 8 win season is pathetic.

Bert needs time. He'll win at Illinois. It was year two. Took booger until year 7.

I was talking about Big Ten titles.

Yeah, I don't buy that. He's not winning anything in the B1G at Illinois, especially with USC/UCLA coming in '24 and with Wisconsin and Nebraska upgrading coaches. Not saying either will be sure things, nothing is. But on paper at least these are upgrades. Fickell was arguably the hottest coaching candidate out there and Rhule can't be worse than the disaster that was Scott Frost. 

BERT was in year two and he won 8 games. Booger was inches away from a B1G title in 2016- his 2nd year. They get that 4th down call vs OSU- they probably go on to win the B1G that year. Booger has been stuck in the much tougher East and having to deal with that juggernaut that is Ohio St. BERT has gotten to play in the cupcake West and couldn't close the deal on it this year. This was his year to win the West and play for the conference and he blew it. That division is getting better and Illinois is losing a lot of key players to the NFL- and well they aren't a program that can reload. His ceiling at Illinois ain't what it was at Wisconsin- where he could actually win the conference. He's not winning the conference at Illinois.

I guess we'll see. Illinois isn't paying $6 Mil to not win.

4* QB from Oregon, who flipped from WSU to MSU, signed today.  Some were nervous that the trickle down effect of Dante Moore going to UCLA would be Oregon trying to poach this in state kid from MSU
4* TE from Dexter, MI (teammate of Cole Cabana) was apparently a heavy UM flip target.  Their On3 writer predicted last night that he would in fact flip to UM, but he signed as well.

Thus far, zero drama for MSU.  Nobody signed elsewhere, no surprise additions.  Got a commitment from the #1 rated JUCO OL, but that was somewhat expected
