It's hard to overstate the damage Thomas did in a very short tenure.
He did a lot of damage, but Illinois was pretty low since Lou Tepper got the HC gig. Thomas biggest issue, besides having a bad personality that people didn't want to work for, was the idea that he needed to hire someone who was a head coach. That's how you get a Tim Beckman hired over the brains of the operation (Matt Campbell).

Lovie has to be fired end of season right? Is there any chance JW keeps him?

Tbf, I am heading to the bar for Purdue/Iowa in a few minutes.
I'm assuming that you at some point stopped drinking last night and got some sleep though.

Yes, I got 7.5 hours of sleep. Also, I am going to the bar with neighbors and not drinking at home alone.
I'm also assuming you aren't drinking out of disdain for a sporting event meant to entertain you...

I will be if the Hawkeyes start losing big. Oh shit, do I have a problem?
Maybe you have an issue with managing your emotions, but I would only say you have an alcohol problem if you are just using the developments of a sporting event as an excuse for heavy drinking, like @Urblock does....

Okay, good. I am not drinking heavily. Just having a couple cold ones with the boys and munching on some delicious chicken wings.

Yeah, you are probably just fine. Good to hear you take food with your beers. I have never once seen @Urblock post about eating in any of his posts about drinking beers and tequila. Not even a single post about guacamole. Not even a tortilla chip. You?

Not even any Indian fry bread?

This is Lovie's biggest win since beating Seattle in the NFC Divisional Round in 2010
