Sound familiar? I think it would be a good idea for us to look at 1 or 2 6-5, 6-6 260+ pound HS lineman every 4 years, maybe someone would rather play basketball in college Read it -

Now granted I am not an Illinois fan nor do I follow Illinois very closely, so I could definitely be wrong on this.

If memory serves me right....wasn't Bradford part of one or two of the worst Illinois teams in 30+ years??? Seems to be a case of the pot calling the kettle black.

It would be like Marcus Fizer saying that he is embarassed by the Bulls' poor performance this season.

Bradford's teams at Illinois were all pretty good.....except his very first season, and since he was the top scorer on that team, I'd hardly blame him...

2 seasons under Lon Kruger..
14-18, and 22-10

and two under Bruce Weber...
27-8, and 26-9
Here are the stats of the players who were on that 14-18 team in 1998-99

Good call T, I think I tend to remember that first season because Bradford was the face of that team whereas his other teams he wasn't typically the best player.

[Disturbed]

I don't think Cory played for Bruce Weber. I think that guy's name was Bill Self.

Exactly what I was gonna say... haha

I'd blame Clank McClain.
