If you watched UI vs. UI on BTN last Sat…you’ll understand why I’m betting on the Boat-Rowers. UI-Champaign no longer seems ready to make reservations for Indy. Why not? Too many injuries. Last week, 10-1 seemed possible. This week…it’s 9-3 or 8-4, for Bert’s Bunch.

Bert loves the Illini Marching Band: That’s cool!

Bert is an 80s guy: His use of “Awesome!” is proof.

Bummer! 4 or 5 guys will be out, for Minny:

Is this Bert’s replacement, at Illinois?

If so...where's Bert headed, next?

Bonus: I'm hearing Drexel Hill, PA's Dan Mullen is a candidate for a B1G gig. Where?
