Please site self-posturing and styling examples. I don't see Kevin Love much so I can't comment, but being in the Midwest having seen Gordon play numerous times, he just plays. If that warrants the crap he got at Illinois in your mind, you have a strange set of values imo

Illini grad?

Did I say it warranted the kind of crap he got at that game? Nope, sure didn't...try reading carefully next time.

Just a question - when he finally got around to actually making up his mind which school he would got to, did his family call the media and make sure they were there when he signed his LOI??? Bet they did...bet they wanted the attention...

Like I said, the examples cited in the article are way off-base and shouldn't be allowed to continue (again, read carefully next time). But I don't have a lot of sympathy when players and their families want and demand all kinds of positive attention and then cry when there is negative attention that comes their way.

Illini grad? That's a stupid question...and in case you can't figure out the answer from that comment, it would be no. Never even been to Illinois. Have been to Indiana, and hope I never have to go back.
