Do I think that Pearl made a humongous mistake? Yes. Should they have fired him? Well, I think the answer is no. Others clearly think differently. We'll see where the program heads now.

Wow. Deja vu, man.

As an Illinois alum, I couldn't be happier. Jimmy Collins and Deon Thomas are smiling today.
