Preparing for road trips is more than X's and O's
1:12 AM 11/4/2007 — Kickoff is slated for 7:07 p.m. Saturday night inside the Metrodome, but before the Illini can battle the Gophers they first have to get there. And that is a lengthy, difficult process in itself.

Column: Forget the treats, Illini all about tricks
11:34 PM 11/1/2007 — Halloween is over, I know, but in light of the passed "holiday" I thought that I would share some tales from the football team's repertoire in celebration of the "trick" aspect of Halloween. It might not be as creative as Jim Halpert putting Andy Bernard's calculator in Jell-O, but jokes are a small way that the players can unwind some from the season and keep each other in better spirits.

Conspiracy theory lives in city that never sleeps
11:31 PM 11/1/2007 — Maybe I'm just paranoid, maybe I'm just suspicious or maybe it's because I just watched Oliver Stone's "JFK," but I have a feeling there is something more to what's been happening with Alex Rodriguez, Joe Torre and the Los Angeles Dodgers. Something doesn't add up to me.
