Yeah, I was lucky to be there for both the flying Illini and Jeff George citrus bowl year. Some good times at both assembly hall and memorial stadium.

We stress the academics to a higher degree because we excel at them, and therefore attract those type people to come here. We are #35 in US news while Mizzou is #124.. We're more like the Ivys and near Ivys, and they don't stress sports. Mizzou will have an easier time being known for athletics...

Collectively, this group should be able to run our playbook against our pending opponents and tell Bret and team what works and what doesn't. We'll be unstoppable with the unleashed power of Loyalty behind this team.

Yes, modern science is amazing.

Soupy, you need a pre-portal tracker to indicate who MIGHT be entering the portal. I’m sure that addition would help calm nervous minds.

It's taking a while. Is this a game of NIL chicken with the wings?

Can I ask about Hooganna Komittous?
