    Week of 1/15 Games Thread

    The announcer who said that about BV got some bad information. I only know this because I know the grandmother of Joshua Strong, a guard for Howard University in DC. He graduated from Minnesota-Duluth in only 2 years and he’s only 21. His brother, Josiah, is a guard for Colorado State who...

    Illinois 82, Kansas 75 (Exhibition) Postgame

    Also, the best thing about this game was this, above all else. It raised over one million bucks for our fellow citizens in Hawaii. Ain’t That America?!

    I’m 67 and don’t hate anyone, and let go of hate many years ago. It’s bad for your heart. I feel for the kid, he could be my grandson, and I hope he has a great life. But based on history, it was a little sweet!

    Cubs 2023 Season

    I’ve been out of action for awhile, plus I’m almost 67, so apologies if this seems like a reply to EB. This site, like many, is a different navigation on my iPhone than on an iMac. Briefly. Sad to see what baseball has become in Oakland. Upcoming promo, Tony Kemp poster night? No disrespect...

    60th Anniversary of the Assembly Hall (Sat. March 4)

    I love seeing all of these memories and I have a couple of my own which I’ll post soon. I do have a question though. A great friend of mine studied engineering there in the 70’s, and he told me that there were professors who refused to enter the Hall, because they thought the design theory was...

    Apologies if I missed this being mentioned in the last few pages, but here’s a great resource for uniforms, helmets etc. It’s my go-to site. https://www.sportslogos.net/logos/list_by_team/706/Illinois_Fighting_Illini/

    Illinois Hoops Recruiting Thread

    The Quad City kids gravitate towards Iowa historically, at least in my lifetime. Two hours closer to Iowa City than CU. Good for him, I hope he has a good career!

    Illinois Hoops Recruiting Thread

    My new strategy for reading the daily recruiting thread. Begin at page one, read the first few posts, then skip to the last page. If the posts are about which cereal is best, then I'm done, and fully informed!

    Houston 68, Illinois 53 Postgame

    When this happened, my daughter, who gamely tries to understand the nuances/rules, etc. of what's going on, said, "But they all do that, don't they?"

    Sorry to hear that, but I wonder if those of you who are blacked out have tried to go to their website to see if that's true as well? I can't test it because I'm in the NW burbs, but I have watched a few live broadcasts while online on my computer here and there, and do subscribe to Xfinity for...
