A linguistics major would describe Kirk Ferentz as monotone. The 10-year head coach places emphasis on a word about as often as legendary Hawkeye announcer Bob Brooks misses an Iowa football game.
But in the basement of the Hayden Fry football complex after his Nov. 18 press conference, Ferentz morphed into Herm Edwards when he talked about Shonn Greene.
"If you look at the numbers, those are so impressive," said Ferentz, doing his best Scott van Pelt impersonation.

Dear Male Students,
It has come to my attention that you need help with dating. Whoever said chivalry is dead when it comes to treating women sure was right. I have some guidelines that might help you.
No. 1, hold doors open for ladies, and I don't just mean on dates.

It's time that someone comes forward and reveals the truth about restaurants and the perverse and disgusting game that is played within.
We have all been to a restaurant at one time or another to eat our vittles, but do we know what goes on around the food that we eat? Probably not.

You wouldn't borrow your little sister's Jonas Brothers CD, but you may want to grab Taylor Swift's "Fearless" and take a listen.
While its first single, "Love Story," features romantic Romeo and Juliet song lyrics that have snuck their way onto every Facebook page of any 15- to 20-year-old who is in a relationship or whose crush is currently being nice to her, "Fearless" is packed with break-up songs and mature songwriting.

In a post-election experiment my roommate and I displayed an Obama/Biden poster outside our dorm room to see how long our sign would last in Landen Hall.
This political speech lasted only two school days until it was defaced-someone cut president-elect Barack Obama's head out of the poster.

When prospective students travel north on Highway 51, one of the first beacons of SIUC they see is the 84-year-old, broken-down McAndrew Stadium. But future students will not be met with busted bleachers and chipped concrete, as university administrators have tagged the west-side bleachers to be the destination for the $25 million student services building.

A young child waits for his favorite athlete outside the playing field. He is in awe of what he has just witnessed on the football field. He is nervous, yet anxious; and his shy demeanor is evident from his stature. In his hand, he holds a wrinkled Western Illinois football game ticket.

From this summer's Bonnaroo set that started two hours late and was greeted by jeering fans throwing trash to his recent arrest in England, it has been a rough few months for Kanye West.
West's album, "808's & Heartbreak," which will be released Dec. 16, is predicted to be a bittersweet (with emphasis on "bitter") chronicle of a consuming, tumultuous breakup.

It's one of those things all coaches invariably say during the course of the season. Usually toward the end of the year, they talk about how much they've enjoyed coaching their players and how they'll remember this year for the rest of their lives.
Kirk Ferentz morphed into that stereotype at his weekly press conference on Tuesday. But, in this case, there's a distinct difference between Ferentz and others who have expressed the sentiment: This isn't the first time the 10-year head coach has praised his players without being asked by the media.

On Nov. 15, after the Illinois-Ohio State game, 9,000 Illini alumni and current students gathered in Assembly Hall to watch what many refer to as a ceremony of "honor" or "respect" for the University of Illinois and the Illinois Confederation; however, "Chief Illiniwek" is nothing more than a dishonorable and disrespectful display of condescension.
