And the same could be said for Assembly Hall/SFC. Moving it to a home and home means you risk the atmosphere falling flat. When you bring everyone to STL like we do now, it feels like everyone gets up for it. Why destroy that?

We were just in St. Louis for our anniversary. We went to a Cards game since my husband grew up a fan, and I was amazed by what a great sports city it is. I expected the Cards to be the only draw, but Cards fans were about equal to Battlehawks fans as we were walking to Busch. I've always...

And how his knee holds up. If his knee was really that rough all season, teams are going to be asking questions on that front to make sure they're not getting Lonzo'd.

That's how I read it. Male DNA was present, but the quantity was too low to get a reliable, reproducible profile.

Very true! I know my current distaste for PU is because of these Edey teams, even though I think Painter is a stand up guy.

The visceral reaction I had reading this 😂

I'll be honest, I don't hate Iowa as much. I grew up watching the Bulls religiously, not the Illini. I was a high school senior in '04-'05 and started watching that season; my love grew after I attended the university. I get the distaste for Pearl but I don't HATE Iowa as much as I don't like...

The DNA found on the accuser either doesn't meet the threshold to be used to match TSJ or, where there is enough DNA to meet the threshold, doesn't match. It's not a legal finding he didn't do it, but it pokes a pretty big hole in what seems to be an already flimsy case.

It all depends on where you grew up. If you're closer to the Iowa border, they're likely #1 on your list. If you grew up closer to Wisconsin, switch it. Era matters, too. Iowa was a big rival for those Ayo-led teams, so if that's when you fell in love with Illini basketball, you're more likely...

I hate how busy this time of year is at work, but after skimming what I missed, it might be for the best that I can just keep hitting F5 here daily.

Google is your friend here. Wikipedia lists all of their head coaches. I'm guessing based on age and the fact that he's still active that John Leonard is your best bet, but your milage may vary.

How do you think they got the giant turtle?

Depends on if he wants more playing time or the degree. With him graduating with a business degree, getting a MBA or something from Indiana would make sense if the degree is his ultimate goal. If he wants playing time though, he'd be better off looking at a smaller program. Either way, it has...

She'd have to live in Champaign for that to work. If my memory serves, she lives in Chicago. Hard to keep him out of a recruiting hot bed.
