You beat me to it.

[MacabreMob]

Was a great read.

KK has tons more class than Guenther.

[tornado]

which, of course, is megatons more class than Doyel, whose only talent it seems is to rip into whatever he dislikes today.

True, but he does have some great points in this article. What AD would call out the coach and especially the players during a game, in front of everyone?! Unbelievable!

[Braves4Life]

People rip Doyel but he's just doing his job. And, his articles often seem right on the money to me

[bert notorius]

Ugh. Doyle. He rips on IB flamers and then reduces himself to their level. The IB is predominately a student board, hormone and alcohol driven (and who knows what else...). If it were me trying to write a column everday, I'd throw out a fastball every now and then just to keep it interesting. Gunther is biding his time, trying to get football back on the map and then get out of Dodge. When Carter went into turn over mode, beating on a table was the least controversial thing bert did...

The head coach who was trying to play checkers while Seth Greenberg was dabbling in chess.

it burns so good

Doyel defends ripping into the Illini AD because of observed behavior.

As a national writer he believes he has the right to report on any behavior he wants.
Has he ever reported on the language, intimidation, and criminal misdeeds of guys like Bob Knight, Bob Huggins, Dave Bliss?
Nope, most of that behavior, far worse than Gunther's, gets a pass.

I am not defending this Doyle guy and I admit to never really reading his material, but isn't he writing about something he saw first hand?

Maybe if he saw the actions of the guys you listed first hand he would write about that? I don't know and I am merely asking.

apparently the word "discipline" is a foreign word to uiuc...

It must be nice to lead such a perfect life, and still have a lot of extra time left over
to watch others and point out all their flaws, and help them become better people, too.
Perhaps Doyel should wear a black-white striped shirt and carry a whistle,
so we will all know when he is functioning as a behavioral referee for the rest of us.

You're right.

Nobody should be held accountable for their words or actions, especially if they have ANYTHING to do with UIUC.

Doyel's target today for his venomous attack
is Tubby Smith.
Even a little slam on the people at Kentucky and Minnesota.
How does he always know everything?
