Pretty cool shot of me talking to Tom Izzo from Big Ten Media Day on Comcast Sports Net’s Sportsnite. Hope some of you saw it.

actually, you’re right. no one gives a crap about my parking and traffic issues, and I need to cut down word count…so it’s all hoops.

Look for some video interviews I took with my flip camera of all the Illini players soon. Trust me you’ll get all the Illini you can handle. even though we probably wont be that good this year. Face it, 4th place at best, 6th at worst

It was 1,300 words long just after this…imagine if I did include everybody. Yes, they should inconveince all the out of town journalists, just for me. Becuase it’s all about me. all the time. always has been, and always will be. I’ll be the first to admit that I whine too much about my job, given how cool it really is.

btw, the lack of Illini attnetion is because that’s who he talk about 905 of the time here. I went to their own separate media day, the only team I did that for

The was an awful lot of whining for the start of a sure-fire blockbuster Big Ten basketball season. Perhaps you would have preferred that they inconvenience all the out-of-town journalists that flew into O’Hare and had the thing set-up just for you. So you talked to two coaches out of 11?

Given the strength of the league, I believe it will be very difficult for Shurna and Co. to produce a winning conference record to make the dance for the first time.

Illini, on the other hand, came in 2nd last year and have upgraded their talent. Some alum you are, barely a mention.
