It absolutely impacts your vision. I had it several year ago - not fun. Incredibly itchy, eyes water alot. Usually passes in a day or two. Should be over in plenty of time, just hope it is contained.

I was surprised that BU didn't coach the last several minutes. It was almost as if he was saying - "Okay kid if you go win it then go win it. But if you don't we are going to have a whole lot of "Teachable moments" that we will go over and over and over between now and the next game." I've...

Not sure that is so - Lincoln is awfully hot in the summer. I have played golf there three times in August - each time it was over 100 degrees so I think the NE boys may be just as used to the heat as the UTSA boys.

That was the day I got married. A couple of buddies left the reception early to go to the game. They got lost on the way over and by the time they found I-57 it was 28-0, and they just kept on driving north. I really enjoy when the Illini beat Nebby! BTW she is still with me!!

Been an Illini Fan since mid-70s. Desperately want this to work with Lovie, just losing hope that it ever will. I was cautuously optimistic that the D would take a step forward. Still waiting...not sure that this can be fixed.

I am a Cardinals fan, but Blues were just getting started when I became a hockey fan, and I was a youngster living in suburban Chicago, so I am a Hawks Fan. However, I couldn't be happier for the Blues, for St. Louis, and for hockey. It is good to see a team do something that while not...

My daughter was in MI during the Becks Era, and I didn't miss a home game. I have been firmly in the Lovie Camp since day one. I wanted so much, and believed that he would move the needle forward. I can no longer say that I have any hope or belief that he can do it. I really never believed...

I have the Illini at 18-13. NCAA BB is all about guard play, and I believe that ours will be very good.

I took a look at history, and offer a few comments regarding what history tells us, and look forward to hearing what others think. I have lost all confidence and belief that this staff can right the ship, BTW. Here are are few numbers to consider. Since John Mackovic left town (after the 1991...

I have been in Lovies corner since day one. I believed that there would be an uptick in recruiting, and we would see steady growth and improvement on the field. Sadly I now believe that we will never see that with this staff. My daughter was in MI during the Becks years, and I really don't...

I am really sick of watching a team that everyone knew from spring training was not good enough. If they really want to make '19 different than '18 they will go out and get a right fielder (Mr Harper, your table is ready),and a third baseman (Can you say Rendon?). They they can line up with...

Everyone needs to remember that this is really Lovie's second season. He was hired in the spring of 2016, and the 2016 season was really nothing more than getting a staff together and getting a team on the field. My daughter was in Marching Illini for three years under the Becks regime. Those...

The good news, I don't feel any need to invest any more this year. Will really free up some meaningful time! I really am having a hard time imagining that we can get results this bad. But, you are what your record says you are.

Do we have a shot with Finke?
