After the Tennessee State game in which Weber was clearly outcoached by the Tennessee State coach, Cy Alexander, the quotes are interesting to read. It's also interesting that the guy in charge has no responsibility for the loss, even when its an upset against an inferior team. Quotes are below and a link to the full article.
“We have to come with a whole new attitude and a new focus. We’re humble right now,” Meacham said.
Illinois head coach Bruce Weber admitted the Tigers’ zone defense gave the Illini trouble.
“We didn’t come ready to play at the beginning with the emotion and the intensity,” Weber said. “We let our offense or lack of offense affect our defense.”
Weber also questioned the team’s maturity level and its inability to mentally prepare for a game, even if wasn’t a Big Ten opponent.
“It’s just very disappointing, it’s very tough to swallow,” Weber said. “We have to keep learning lessons, and this is about as tough a lesson. If they can’t figure something out after this, we’re in trouble.”

It will get worse! This year and next. No Help until 2009, so either get used to it or have plenty to complain about.

Note to Bruce:
If you want the Illini fans to calm down (or stop complaining), don't seem so dazed and confused when the players don't play well. You are the coach, so figure it out.
