Welcome to the all Illini edition of The Sports Bank podcast. In the wake of the Illini re-brand, re-design from Nike I’m joined by the Illini All-Star team of guests. Yes, it is the headliners of Illini Nation. Breaking it all down with me is Herb Lawrence of WSCR 670 The Score.
Listen to him tonight on The Score, from around 6 (or about when the White Sox game ends) till 10, with Jay Zawaski. Follow Lawrence on Twitter @ecnerwal23
We also have exclusive conversations with
-Illini football Coach Tim Beckman
-Illini basketball Coach John Groce
-University of Illinois Athletic Director Mike Thomas.
I embedded all four of the interviews here in this post below. Like I said it’s the Illini podcast of all Illini podcasts.
Illinois is a program on the upswing; certainly in basketball. This year was a blip, next year things will be much improved. And football, well they can’t get worse in that department. Things can only go up there.
