Football

UI schedule could use some pizazz  (Saturday, September 19, 1998)

Louisville's fine for a horse race. Or minor league baseball. Or a boxing match for that matter, what with Muhammad Ali growing up there.

But football?

Redman''s the man for Cardinals  (Saturday, September 19, 1998)

CHAMPAIGN – The go-to guy.

He's easy enough to spot. Look in the media guide for the biggest player section and you'll usually find him. Usually.

Fiesta Bowl next stop for Schudel?  (Saturday, September 19, 1998)

It's Thursday afternoon and Paul Schudel sits in his Virginia football office, chomping on a peanut butter sandwich while getting ready for another win.

He doesn't have many worries, at least not the kind he had as Illinois offensive coordinator.

Q&A - A weekly chat with Bob Asmussen  (Saturday, September 19, 1998)

This week''s guest: CB Asim Pleas

UI practice notes  (Friday, September 18, 1998)

After one of the worst performances of his Illinois career, quarterback Mark Hoekstra had a good week of practices, coach Ron Turner said.

Asmussen: Mackovic keeps busy as analyst  (Friday, September 18, 1998)

If Texas had followed his contract, John Mackovic would be in Manhattan, Kan., on Saturday. Instead, he'll sit in ESPN2's studio at Bristol, Conn.

Fired after last season, Mackovic has three years left on his Texas deal. The school owes Mackovic $600,000 a year, minus the small amount ESPN2 pays him.

Louisville faces its own losing streak  (Friday, September 18, 1998)

   They''re losing as often as the Chicago Bears.

   Fans are grumbling. Players are frustrated. Coaches are in denial.

   Wait a minute. Didn''t Illinois end its losing streak Saturday?

UI practice notes  (Thursday, September 17, 1998)

>Want to see Illinois coach Ron Turner in a bad mood? Check him out after a team returns a kickoff 99 yards against the Illini for a touchdown. It happened Saturday night for Middle Tennessee State, Sulecio Sanford racing past the Illinois coverage team.
