Sounds good to me. I wonder if Shaw will be first off the bench to sub in the post and not TG? I would never have guessed that before this game but given Shaw's forth coming PT it makes me wonder.

cali illini · Jan 17, 2013, 06:20 PM

We NEED to WIN this game..Here we go

RecLeagueHero · Jan 17, 2013, 06:20 PM

Jim Burr = Barney Rubble.

Anybody else find that 5 hour energy commercial to be like fingernails on the chalkboard? Man, it's awful.

dutchf · Jan 17, 2013, 06:21 PM

i wouldn't expect to see Shaw before TG

geneseo · Jan 17, 2013, 06:21 PM

78-52 Illini

PEORIAFLA · Jan 17, 2013, 06:22 PM
