OrangeKrush117 at IlliniHQ forums, denies this is him (purplekrush117). Knowing him pretty well, this would be something he would readily admit to. Ok, based on his posting history, someone of his ilk spoofed his name, perhaps one of many sycophants at Scout or one a the few others at IlliniHQ or perhaps Jay Price himself. There are only so many ways that you can spin a program getting driven straight into the ground as some form of success. I suspect you just inherited about 50 or 100 of these fans in the last 24 hours. They're probably sporting purple thongs today and probably out shopping for purple ties for their oscar Weber blow up dolls.
Not that I wish it on an already suffering fan base, but it would be nice to think your gain of these Weber-fans would be our loss. No, It doesn't work that way with these losers. They'll also be hanging around Illini Nation openly rooting for John Groce to fail in order to prop up their hero, "oscar the Excuse". Maybe Weber learned from his many failures here, but after 9 years of Weberball, good luck on that one. I can hear the excuses being prepared as I type, fan negativity, KSU being hard to recruit to, players not buying in, etc, etc, etc. oscar Weber will be a victim there, nothing's his fault.
Anyway, best of luck moving forward. The more Weber opens his trap, the more you'll want to claw your eyes out. Wasn't Doc Sadler available at least? If your going after a retread, at least get a likeable one with some possible upside.
