    We are going to be a trendy upset pick…and I might join them. This team has no urgency.

    How do we forget to play defense? It’s insanity to lose a game like that. Just defend. BLOB coach should be forced to walk home. E-M-B-A-R-R-A-S-S-I-N-G.

    I think the right call. Game of inches.

    Game Thread: Illinois at Kansas

    Felt it last week, but first quarter confirms it. Something rotten on defense. Looks a lot like defenses of former failed coaches. Wide open receivers, untouched runners to the 2nd level, stupid penalties. Not throwing in the towel on the season but ooh boy something is going to need changing or...

    Pregame: Illinois vs Chattanooga, Friday, March 18th, 5:50pm CT, TNT

    This. There's almost no way this was bacterial conjunctivitis, likely viral. There's no treatment other than time and lubricating eye drops if that's the case. And it takes 1-2 weeks to clear up fully.

    Illinois #16 in AP Poll

    Am I alone in thinking winning the BTT is the only way we get to a 3 seed (outside shot at 2)? We won't beat anyone of sufficient quality to move the needle until the BTT and at that time the bracket is basically set. I think we need some help with early losses by Purdue or Wisky but then we...

    Feeling a bit better about the team. I do worry a bit about inserting Curbelo back into this offense. Hopefully it doesn’t stagnate when he is in. Go Illini!

    Our offense is hot garbage. Team is broken.

    Loyola Chicago 71, Illinois 58 Postgame

    Several thoughts. 1. Loyola played an absolutely excellent game on offense and defense. 2. There was just not enough adjustment on either end to right the ship 3. Illinois shouldn't have played Loyola at least until the next round. 4. Having no S16 appearance (minimum) for this team is just...

    Meyers Leonard

    Very disappointed as a jew and Illini fan and a big fan of Meyers. I am also forgiving and I believe in 2nd chances. Not sure he deserves one but I'm willing to listen.

    Big Ten Cancels Fall Football (CFB Thread)

    Goalposts get moved and metrics change because it's a new virus. It was never going to be two weeks of lockdown. That was never a realistic option once cases appeared over the whole country. But there's no doubt it was effective at bringing caseload down. The problem is that people in this...

    Big Ten Cancels Fall Football (CFB Thread)

    I think that's only partially true. The likelihood of getting COVID at this point is much higher given it's prevalence throughout the US. As we've seen with baseball, it's hard to prevent an outbreak on a team. All it takes is for a couple players on a team to contract it to everybody and then...
