IlliniKrush Posted April 16, 2003 Share Posted April 16, 2003 Today, er yesterday was self appreciation day down here, and it was pretty intense and exciting, i hope it had some sort of effect on him There were a lot of banners and signs hung up at the practice facility, with a constant influx of people in and out of there and just hanging around between classes. Then at 4:30 there were a few hundred people at the holiday inn for the annual bball banquet, outside decked out in orange and holding signs and making a lot of noise, and greeted self in fashion. Ton of students, but an impressive amount of the community were there too. And as we speak there is a campout outside of the athletic offices all night to show self how much we love him down here. I just hope some of this effects him and he stays here. We'll know soon enough, as he leaves for a vacation in Florida soon...i wouldn't think he'd want to deal with this while on vacation. We'll see what happens. My gut feel says it's a 60% chance he stays, that's just me. And villanueva coming is basically linked to whether or not Self stays. All we can do now is go to sleep and hope for the best tomorrow.... ILL INI Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southsider2k5 Posted April 16, 2003 Share Posted April 16, 2003 Not to start trouble, but I think I am going to with this question. Why do people hold NCAA coaches to completely different standards than in any other job market? Are the people who are crucifying Roy Williams telling me that if the biggest, best company in their field came along and offered them way more money, they wouldn't take it? Why is coaching different? I know when you go into an interview everyone tells the employer that they want that job, even if it isn't their first choice. You are trying to get that job after all. Anyone want to shed some light on this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
