I wish I could understand why I hate a team so much that I use to half ass like when I was little, and we don't even play Illinois and I hate them with a passion, well, I don't hate Illinois, I just dislike Zook.

I don't get it, we will probably never play them either and I get pissed whenever a kid picks them over anyone else.

Weird.

More from Pocic

Pocic expands on committment (http://story.scout.com/a.z?s=162&p=2&c=653961)

Highlights, if you will.


“Some of my finalists were very negative about the other schools I was looking at and only pointing out what was bad about the other schools to me,” Pocic explained. “That really turned me off quickly because the Illinois staff always told me that all of the schools I had offers from brought something great to the table. They just told me what was good about their school and stuck to the positive side of things which really helped.”

All I can say to that is yeah, right!! I wonder if he would have still tried to say that if Notre Dame had offered him.

Then there is this beaut of a quote.


"They care about your life away from football too and that shows what they are all about.”

Love that one- Coach Zook what color car did you say I was getting?

The Zookster Travesty continues.

Never really cared for this kid after he tried to give the ND staff a deadline for an offer. Illinois is probably a good place for him. I would not be surprised if he is another one of the kids who tried to verbal to Urbie and was turned down, and had to settle for his next choice.

I used to want him to get an offer...but watch Cwynars film on one play lined up against Pocic...utter domination. Throw Pocic back, proceed to sack Nagel= Beast.

I agree I hate Illinois, too. The only time I hope they win is when they play OSU or UM. I hate Zook about as much as I hate Pete. Also, I hate Benn now.
