All is well...... .

A friend of mine and really big StL fan has Comcast which just lost Bally Sports because of the failure to come to a contract agreement. He is really beside himself missing the games. I told him the way they are playing it's for the best. There is no way the StL offense should be as anemic as...

Wishing the best for TSJ.

Couldn't agree more, two of the best weekends in March then the NCAA. Really a special time, watch parties with friends, snacks, chili, beer, ball boards and basketball non-stop.

Where it belongs. Expose the best players in the state to SFC and what the future will look like when they commit to the Illini.

Getting measured for the circus clown pants. That alone would be enough for me to never visit Indiana were I skilled enough to play Div I basketball. Luke, listen to me, do you really want to do that to yourself? Common......

I wondered about that too. I resolved it with either BU thought Coleman was definitely going pro, or he just wants to keep waves of guys coming at you who are rested when the other team is sucking wind. Also, both are reasonably affordable and do not break the NIL budget.

Coleman Hawkins come on back, we need you. There's some NCAA Tournament unfinished business to tend to. Get your knee in shape, have fun your last year in college, make some serious NIL money, get a good financial advisor, raise your NBA draft position and cement your legacy at the U of I...

I was just thinking the same thing. I'd bet he retires soon. I don't see him adapting well to the NIL bidding, unless he gets lots of advice and assistance.

I'm ok with Storr to Kansas. Between asking for the moon, momma and coming in from another Big-10 school it was bad karma. I don't know the young man and won't opine on his attitude, work ethic or sense of team. There's more in the portal and if Domask gets his waiver, it's all gravy from...

Fun fact. Skyy Clark is also with RocNation

Maybe it's just me but these young men are really overreaching. Asking $1M - $1.2M, getting crazy.

With AJ Storr's girlfriend going to KU, maybe they decided to take the economy route on their alleged take it or leave it offer. Throw a little extra cash at his girlfriend, reel him in and stay within their NIL parameters. Diabolically evil.

Maybe try a Porsche like Ty Ty Washington's 2021 NIL deal with the Porsche Dealership in Lexington, KY.

Lou retired/left as the Illini HC in 1997, at age 65. I was at the game when he announced he was retiring. In hindsight, he probably did not want to leave but did it for recruiting and the program. He immediately went back to New Mexico State as their HC and coached there from 1997 - 2005...
