    Makes no sense to me either. We need to win our non-conference games and getting to a bowl every year until we can win 7, 8, or 9 games every year.

    What a lamebrain coach. I wouldn't even say it if I believed it. Coaches like that never go very far unless they cheat(ala Pearl) And I don't have much respect for coaches that say those things. I'll be there Saturday and I hope it's the start of a respectable year. 5 minimum 7 tops wins.

    As soon as Lunt took 1 step, it was an automatic incompletion. He absolutely could not throw on the run. Peters can, big difference.

    Illinois Hoops Recruiting Thread (May 2019)

    While I agree to make the bar high, however the top 65 teams are not the best 65 teams. If we were not in a power 5 conference we would make the tourney every year with the talent we have because the level of competition is lower. What do you think our conference record would be in the MAC...

    I'm going to stay positive. How much have we gotten from a transfer lately? He didn't even play last year. My hope is it will give guys on the team playing time. TJ and SK will need to step up. We will need some minutes at the 4. Maybe this will get Kouma to sign.

    Illini Basketball 2019-2020

    I read most of the comments on next years improvement. Here's my 2 cents. All those coming back will have a positive impact on improving, however, we need to get bigger and the new guys or transfers will need to do that. You need big guys to compete in the big ten and I watch the tournament...

    Illinois Hoops Recruiting Thread (February 2019)

    I agree with "Are you nuts". Do you realize that we have been outrebounded by almost every B1G team and all the other good non-conference teams we have lost to. We outrebounded three teams, ND, NW and IND by 1 rebound. Minn. we outrebounded by 16 in win, but outrebounded by 6 in loss. Even...

    Illinois 79, Michigan State 74 POSTGAME

    I think many of you are misinterpreting what Dakich said. IMO he was only talking about the possession not the outcome of the game.

    You make good points also. Next year we'll see the "Kofi effect".

    My observance of the basketball team and the significance of Kofi. Regardless of what you think Underwood's positionless basketball can overcome, we are too small to succeed in defeating most the teams we play. We foul more because we're smaller, like Kipper, who is expected to play power...

    Illini Football 2018

    You are talking like this year is already played out. We have good enough players to win 4 or 5 games. The key has been our quarterback play or lack thereof. I agree with Lovie that a dual threat quatrterback is the best for college. We have always had a passer or runner, but not a combo...

    Illini Basketball 2017-2018

    I think things are kind of going as expected so far. DJ left because he felt he was going to be behind Kipper and JCL left because he thought he was going to be behind MA. DJ I'm sure felt he was in line to start and JCL started at the end of last year. I don't blame either one. I wish them the...

    2017 Basketball Transfer Thread

    My source said he is being told he signed with an agent, but doesn't think he did, so there is some question about what he did sign.
