Same here. It’s a long way for us, even with a couple of baseball games we could have picked up in person. We’ll be back in Illinois in August. .

I think what happened is that season ticket holders were banned from reselling their tickets as long as regular season ticket holders wanted to use their own tickets to go to the game. It was it specifically banning Illini fans from the game but it effectively did. And the actual reason for...

They would gladly play our game there, like Penn State played us in Rec Hall for their home game against the Illini. Just limit the seating to season ticket holders and students and tell everyone else to kiss off. It worked for Penn State.

Yeah, I was wondering about the trees that I could see from photographs and the satellite view. It doesn’t look like there’s much room on the “land side” of the field either…especially to come up with 15,000 seats.

Saturday after Thanksgiving, Fighting Illini football will play a game on a soccer/lacrosse field. Northwestern University has announced that most NU homes games will be on the field used for those two sports. NU says seating will be significantly increased for the next two seasons while the...

Were the games he played conference? Or just non-conference?

Not that anyone's counting or anything.

But you doesn't need to call him Johnson.

What, wait, I spin my office chair around about six times and we're up to 1,200 posts on this topic?

Look, driving at Clingan was not a good idea. Clingan doesn’t foul. We saw proof of that in the game. UConn was very clean overall, especially against a team with probably the best player in the country at drawing fouls. C’mon, that’s where Clingan shines, best if the best.

It would be great if this were live-streamed. If not, an extended production that can be put up on YouTube forever. Or both. By the way, Saturday afternoon Illini baseball hosted Oenn State at home, and was down 6-0 at the end of the fifth. A singleton homer changed changed that to 6-1. But...

Ty was upset because that was the last game he would ever play with that team. There’s all kinds of emotions the guys are going through, but I don’t see anyone going into the portal.

Those who are calling for Shannon to be "sat" are ignoring one thing. Brad can't do that. If he did, he'd be in contempt of a federal court's order, and I don't think the judge would take that very kindly. Judges are kind of picky about that sort of thing.

How did this guy get 11,100 followers on Youtube? Seriously, I'd like to know. It's obviously not because he's particularly perspicacious.

What are you putting on top of the icing? Sprinkles? One of those photos? Orange icing roses? A RING!?
