Hopefan I was wrong to call you out and talk down on you.  My apologiies, you are a one of a kind I suppose, not many that actually travel to different schools and watch basketball game.  I applaud you on your "Love of the Game."  But the SLIAC is POOPOO, I also applaud your loyalty to the conference. But anyways of course I am speaking the truth duh......My name says it all, I recieved from an inside source, I am like Woody PAige for those of you that watch me on  Around the HOrn on ESPN everyday.  If anyone wants to debate I am up for it, I have mass amounts of knowledge and ideas.  The idea of MAC closing the door on sports is a great idea until they can handle athletic events, athletic teams, and have great facilities.  Yes they have new weight room, training room, and cardio room.  The weight room is a damp cold mess, there is no trainer, so why not shut it down and start fromm scratch.  The basketball teams went from charters on the road in conference to 15 passenger vans all year.  What is that??  Treat these student athlete with some respect and give them the best you can give them, it is insane the amounts they pay to attend this school and they have the worst facilities.  My advice is for the same money or probably less take your money down the street to the cozy spatious college.  They are hurting too, dont get me wrong, but at least they have state of the art facilities.  Thats all for now to my great audience I will have some bombshells coming in the next few weeks.  Something is in the works. I cannot reveal the info just yet.  I hear Billy Donovan is thinking about a move to MAC he feels the 28 million MAC has to offer is tempting, he is flying into Springfield sometime next week and will be wined and dined by MAC upper echelon.  I feel he is a great coach and will improve MACS chances in upcoming seasons...........NOT!!!!!!!!
Im out like the Cardinals will be in JUly.

Oh yeah Im out and will be back soon.......INSIDE_INFORMATION signing off.

PS cant wait to hear from you guys!!!

Reporting from Whoknowswhere, Illinois MAcMurray College has not only been hurt by the departure of Coach Hettinga, but also 3 of 5 starters will not be returning to the team next year.  Obviously Whalum, is graduated, one player ineligible (Ask MAC PT. 2) with possible hopes of returning second semester, and one not registering for classes.  As far as MacMurray Athletics the hire of the female AD is what it is.  The hire is a money thing, so there it is I said it.  Hopefan give your facts but the fact of the matter is the female is gonna do what she has to do, and she is probably more knowledgeable than you is my guess.  I also guess she will be around 2-4 years and take a D-1 job for whatever reason, like Haslem.  MAC hires good people, but lets face it they cant keep them, case in point HETTINGA!!!!!!  The average tenure for MacMurray employees is 1.5 years, but HETTINGA lowered it by .2 to 1.3.  They haven't kept a mens or women's coach in the last 4 years consecutively, they have had 4 VB coaches in 5 years, 5 Softball coaches in 4 years, football and baseball is down.  This is D-3 realize these kids are not going pro.  They need to turn athletics into club sports until they can get the school back in the money.  They treat athletics as a joke there lets be honest.  So why take away from these kids college experience and let them explore other options by closing athletics all together, they did the favor to the wrestlers hopefully other sporrts will follow suit.  Hopefan you are a simpleton following the worst D-3 conference in America, MacAttack part DEUX lets be real here, MAc hasnt made a spectacular hire in 25 years and when they have the individual was smart enough to get out of DOdge and prosper elsewhwere.  The mens team will not win 10 games next year without Hettinga, he is the one that won games for that team, regardless of what his players did.  Ask Denieve.  PantherPride is a donkey if you ever saw him act after or during a game you would know what I am talking about.
