[NU Sports] Philips proposes Cats to play Illinois at Wrigley

[johnadeg at comcast.net]

What makes us think that we would draw any better at Wrigley when we play Illinois than in Evanston.  Do we sell out Dyche aka Ryan when we play Illinois?.  I agree that at least Phillips is thinking about doing something different which is refreshing to say the least.Let us also hope that Phillips is looking through  his Rolodex file for a new basketball coach.
