A quick search of GoDaddy shows that BlueHenAttack.com is available. So maybe not yet?


Follow Ohio Football recruiting on the BobcatAttack.com football recruiting database.

There was no press conference. There was no plane. None of this actually happened. You were dreaming.

I'm totally confused at this point. I figured Groce is in Illinois and they were bringing him back. If he is in Illinois, there are two reasons for cancelling the flight: (1) they still need to talk about it, have Groce talk to the unhappy trustee/booster, etc.; or (2) the deal's off and they're telling him to find his own way back to Ohio.

Edit: Also, I think I may have just crossed over into the "dear lord, is the money really worth it to deal with this kind of mess on a daily basis?" camp.

Tough decision coming up...pick a guy with ties to OHIO and hope for a long and successful stay OR another bright assistant who fails or succeeds and is gone in 5 or less.  I sure would like to get the former...someitmes it's like we are the hampster going round and round!

My guess is done deal, details being worked on and presser tonight.

Start the search...

Not sure exactly what the lack of a plane means...But I like the word 'Cancel."

I'm also starting to fear for what we may be into through the rest of the off-season if we're able to escape this time!

Interesting background on the recent, deeper issues in Champaign.

If I am Groce, knowing what I have coming back, I'd pass. But then I am not Groce.

Don't one of you high ranking Bobcat Club members have Groce or Shaus' cell number?  Can you call them and ask them what is going on? 

Thanks,

I'm sure he is probably getting 2.5 million reasons over 5 years to take the gig.  What is there to decide?
