    Illinois #6 in final AP Poll

    As you know, the sad part about this list is that we were so egregiously cheated on a bad call late in the Kentucky game in 1984 that the NCAA had to make a rules change to prevent it from happening again. We should have been in the final four that year. We have a bad habit of receiving blown...

    Hope you installed an extra server and storage today Dan. This place is going to be busy tonight!

    Pregame: Illinois vs Iowa State, 9:09pm CT, TBS

    I like to see an aggressive defense by my opponent and double teams out high. I always told my players to not panic when they see that, but to celebrate that instead because that means there's only three defenders left for the rest of the court. Quick passing can burn that.

    Illinois 85, Morehead State 69 Postgame

    This Illinois team reminds me of the Bulls with Michael Jordan - in a way. The Bulls would play around with their opponents and fall behind until it got critical, and then they'd hit the Boost button and blow by the other team for the win. We have the potential to do more but we don't seem to...

    I'm impressed with our RB stable of Anderson, Feagin, Laughery and McCray. I'm especially anxious to see Anderson healthy. He's a load to bring down.

    Penn State 90, Illinois 89 Postgame

    We didn't play with fire in the belly tonight. An indication that we think too highly of ourselves. * No excuse for the Jr High level of clock management * We needed Ty's ball handling in there late. Better to have had a few less turnovers and have him eventually foul out than to have him...

    He deserves a look, just not an invite. No shame in that. There's a lot of QB's who achieved throughout the whole year and the league already had a tough time narrowing that list down. Let's see who's sharp enough to give JP a serious workout.

    Love how Heckel reads the field and picks his lanes with the ball in his hands. Looks like the kind of guy that just makes stuff happen.

    With sharp cuts like that, Sydney could have made a great running back. ;)

    When Anderson played in the state championship game for JCA against the second best team in the state, nobody could bring him down (306 yds). Imagine Feagin but with some experience catching the ball too. Feagin and Anderson will be a double-barrelled assault weapon.

    Not surprised by Love leaving but hate to see him go. With the portal, the most likely guys to leave are those that are in second place on the depth chart, especially those that were starters at one point but see the handwriting on the wall for next year. They want to move somewhere they are...

    Wow, that's better than anything the marketing department could come up with. Powerful testimony!

    I love Brown's quickness. He doesn't mess around with grappling with OL. He just dances sideways and they can't move quick enough to stay in front of him. He'll be fun to watch.
