    Illinois Football Recruiting Thread

    Some of the Walton (Walmart) family have connections to Columbia. Stan Kroenke and Ann Walton even have one of their many homes there. That is why there isn't a Costco within a hundred miles of Columbia lol. Lot of money there just like here.

    UConn 77, Illinois 52 Postgame

    I agree with that sentiment, the first time I saw him during a postgame press conference I thought he was an obnoxious jerk. He continues to reinforce that impression. He has a great team, just a horrible person. Proud of our team and their season, one bad game won't change that.

    Hoping for a great game tonight and an Illini victory. This has been a really fun team to watch and an easy team to root for this year. I am looking forward to three more games!

    I was up until after midnight and got up at a quarter to six for 35 years. I was a zombie on Sundays the last few years though lol.

    Game Thread: Illinois vs Duquesne

    Well, Rayrich was right, I am very impressed by this team. They would probably have punked Purdue too.

    Coaching Carousel (Basketball)

    If I had Elon Musk money I would just ask our coaches how much NIL they need and we would just buy the best players. (Just like the SEC and the blue bloods do now.)

    Not among Big 10 officials, somebody has to be at the bottom of that bell curve.

    I'm on Medicare and a lot louder than younger fans around me, but then I am Loyalty guy so..... There a reasonable chance that meet my end from a stroke or heart attack at a basketball or football game.
