Signing Day with the Zooker!

Yes, I stole this picture from Deadspin, but it's so incredible I just needed it to be at the top of this post. Aside from some barefoot water skiing prowess, the Zooker can recruit. And so with signing day just a week away, the Department of Intercollegiate Athletics announced that CoachRonZook.com will host a live blog of the day's events. Yes, I'm completely serious.

Here are the event plans:

7 a.m. -- "War Room" Blog (all day, leading up to press conference)
10 a.m. -- Live online chat with Illini Recruiting Coordinator Reggie Mitchell
11 a.m. -- Live video interviews with assistant coaches
Noon -- Live online chat with Illinois Head Coach Ron Zook
1 p.m. -- Live video interviews with assistant coaches
2 p.m. -- Live online chat with quarterback Juice Williams
3:00 p.m. -- Live radio show with assistant coaches and current players
3:30 p.m. -- Press Conference with Ron Zook (live audio and video available); biographies, photos and video highlights of Class of 2007

Some suggested questions include:

10 a.m. - Are you guys actually going to remember to cover on passing downs or is the defensive strategy still going to be "please God let them run the ball"?

Noon - How do I go about being a non-uptight white guy?

2 p.m. - Is Rex Grossman your hero and do you plan on being the next Sex Cannon?
