  1. Illinois Hoops Recruiting Thread

    I’m not sure that Brad cooking is the best metaphor. Maybe curing, marinating, or smoking are better choices.
  2. Illinois Hoops Recruiting Thread

    Not that anyone cares, but I grew up down the street from where Derek lived when he went to grade school and high school. I did not know him because he was a few years older than me. When I was in grade school I remember riding in a car past his house and someone telling me, “That’s where Derek...
  3. Weekend of 3/15 Games Thread

    Ref, just because Loyer falls down. It doesn’t mean it’s a foul!
  4. Weekend of 3/15 Games Thread

    Loyer is getting good at that away from the ball screen flop. Didn’t he pull that on us late in the game which really cost us?
  5. TSJ Thread

    I have virtually no experience with the judicial system, however after reading all the posts in these TJS threads I perceive that it is quick and relatively easy to charge someone with a serious felony but the resolution is long, complicated, and laborious. It seems like a better balance would...
  6. TSJ Thread

    Taking the position that TJS stays on scholarship and can use the facilities improving his skills but can’t play basketball with the team seems very arbitrary to me. Since he’s been charged with a serious crime and is “guilty until proven innocent” why not kick him out of school? Although, to...
  7. TSJ Thread

    Occasionally there is a post in these threads that I find educational. In that spirit, other than justice served is the accuser typically awarded any damages if the defendant is found guilty of the felony or the misdemeanor charge?
  8. Conference Realignment

    Who in their right mind signs a 20 year deal? What were they thinking? I suppose the lesser ACC teams probably jumped at it. FSU, Clemson, and UNC have to be kicking themselves.
  9. Conference Realignment

    I imagine that it starts with FOX saying, “ya know, you all could make more $ if you replace x school with y school”. That could’ve been happening throughout all this expansion but it hasn’t so I’m not convinced it will happen. Hopefully we’re at least a couple decades out before it does for...
  10. Bowl/Playoff Selections

    If the committee left out FSU because of their injured quarterback why didn’t they knock them down in rankings before this weekend? I believe they stayed at #4 since the QB was injured 2 weeks ago. So it makes no sense to apply that rationale now.
  11. Game Thread: Illinois vs Kansas (Exhibition)

    Obviously it’s early but this team seems to attack the rim more aggressively than last year’s team.
  12. PG Poll

    I think Brad really liked PSU’s PG bully ball last year and sees Ty as our version. Back smaller guards down into the lane and either shoot over them or kick out to shooters. PSU put on a clinic against us.
  13. Kansas 34, Illinois 23 Postgame

    Sorry folks, ‘not too many ways to spin this one. Offense wasn’t great but defense was a total fail. ‘Can’t give up nearly 550 yards to Kanas and expect to win very many. We’ll soon see how the team responds but expectations took a serious hit tonight.
  14. Kansas 34, Illinois 23 Postgame

    Defensive regression in 1 year is incomprehensible
  15. Game Thread: Illinois at Kansas

    Oof. 300 yards of offense and 4 TDS in the first half from Kansas. Wasn’t our defense pretty good last year?
