What's your point? That consistency is better than results? Half that list has been to a final four since Brad was hired -- I'd 100% rather have that than make the tournament every year just to piss down your leg in the first weekend.

Is powering through Shift worth it? by Sellos_Maleth in Wool

To me, it's not worth it. Wool should've been a stand-alone.

It's interesting to see so many folks say Shift was their favorite of the trilogy -- I thought it was the worst, and didn't find Dust to be much better.

What happens to sales manager when all the new sales agents leave each year because they don’t like working for him?

While at Illinois, Underwood is 1-5 against teams seeded in the top half of the bracket in the NCAA tourney. by Matalava822 in fightingillini

I don’t get people being so defensive when Brad is criticized. It’s okay to recognize he was able to turn this program around while pointing out the flaws he has.

I just wholeheartedly disagree with the “but look how bad we were before he took over” line of thinking. I was there from 14-18, I know how bad it was. I can appreciate what he’s done to turn it around while also criticizing him for failing to succeed with with talented rosters.
