Assorted tidbits Hawkize picked up in the Big Ten camps from last week…

CHAMPAIGNE— The list of mess-ups keeps getting longer for Ron Zook.
The fiery Illinois football coach made the blunder of all blunders on Saturday, starting quarterback Juice Williams at left tackle. The move left media representatives, along with Illini fans, scratching their collective heads from the stands.
“As far as I can remember, Juice is one of the best Left Tackles in the Big Ten. He was a five star recruit out of high school,” Zook said of the obvious error. “I have a text message from the shower to prove it.”

BLOOMINGTON— Interim Head Coach Bill Lynch has announced the re-naming of the team’s stadium. Late coach Terry Hoeppner had nick-named the stadium “The Rock.” After Lynch realized it doesn’t look anything like a rock, he nicknamed it ”The Stadium.”

MINNEAPOLIS—Gopher’s head coach Tim Brewster has announced a new partnership with a small internet startup.
“This is a landmark deal for us,” Brewster said. “It really defines what our football program is about, you know, really emulates our players.”
The deal, which is scheduled to take hold in September at the Gophers’ first home game, is a combination of advertising clips in the game program and a few spots on the big screen.
