Illinois football head coach, Bret Bielema, appeared on Jim Rome’s syndicated radio show.
Bielema earned his first win as the Illini head coach on August 28. A 30-22 victory against Nebraska put Illinois back in a fresh start and new phase. Bielema went on a bit of a media tour to promote the win and newfound success, as he appeared on the Jim Rome Show on August 30.
