    Illinois Hoops Recruiting Thread (May-June 2018)

    Every University is different. A bigger problem at schools, or specific majors, with smaller populations, is that certain courses are only offered in one section per academic year. And they are offered at the same time every year. And they may not be offered in the summer. These rarely...

    Illinois Hoops Recruiting Thread (April 2018)

    I think it's mostly a matter of perspective. The guys of that time played immediately after a great run of success for our program. If we were to see similar production today, we would be ecstatic.

    2018 White Sox

    There is a reason Boston included him in the package. Yes, they got Sale. But the Red Sox were not going to include Benintendi or Devers in any package. That doesn't mean they didn't think Moncada was great and a significant piece to give up. But they no longer viewed him as sure fire...

    Was that way all tournament. Villanova was the best team and would have won regardless. But, in every game I watched they got favorable officiating. And the fact that I have turned to a Nova hater after interacting with their fans a bit has nothing to do with my opinion.

    I'm pulling for anyone but Nova. I went to the East Regional and think their fans are more obnoxious and entitled than Ohio State and Notre Dame football fans. I went to the regional thinking I'd cheer for Nova, and left disgusted that I have to watch them this weekend. Sadly, I think we get...

    2018 White Sox

    I still wear my road 35 from HS. Thankfully, I was smart and bought it a little bit big. If your friend buys a Moncada, and he has a similar career to Beckham, I think you need to stop calling him a friend. I'm a bit more intrigued this season compared to last season. I want to see Moncada...

    Maybe. But not sure. Starting to seem a bit hopeful.

    Is football in a better spot than basketball? That this is a legit question is disgusting.

    Terrible. Watched 3 games this year. Not worth my time.

    Game Thread: Illinois vs Penn State

    I’m more worried about the future. I don’t see a future here. We are beyond belief bad.

    Almost wish I had 0 for football and basketball to cheer for. Where would 2 combined wins rank historically?

    True. Weak coaching and poor talent for several years now. No reason to expect better any time soon.

    Chicago Bears 2017-2018

    I hope Reid took it back during the second half on Saturday. Great running back barely touched the ball with an 18 point lead.

    Illinois Football Recruiting Thread

    I don't follow recruiting. And quite frankly, I was only able to watch a few games this season. But, I've read repeatedly here, that the all-freshman awards are evidence of Lovie's and his staff's ability to identify talent. I've also read repeatedly, that we could not be expected to compete...
