I'm just glad to hear that at 60 years old I'm a middle-aged stranger.
Practice squad. Wasn’t drafted but your implication that a gamer can’t make a team makes you the mean old man now.Let me guess, he did not make the team.
Eh, disagree. There's been a pretty well-documented but casually tracked trend of relatively higher activity amongst Illinois fans than other programs, particularly compared to programs of similar stature (i.e. bad). And when all those active engagers with recruits get upset when some recruit spurns the Illini, it isn't surprising that we have a relatively higher incidence of poor-taste tweets. I think the two points are definitely connected. More users + lots of recruiting letdowns = tons of opportunities for tweets that reflect poorly on Illinois.
Now, I don't have stats on this of course, because that would be a next-level waste of time. But anecdotally, our twitter activity does seem to be higher than say a Wisconsin, Minnesota, etc.
But I've become GREAT buds with Khalil Tate by tweeting at him the past 48 hours. He even liked one of my posts! DIA should comp me season tix after he commits. #littyvILLe #illgang19 #creepyfan #wewillwin #sarcasm

The fact that these are the straws people are clutching at as fans now shows what a sad state the program is in.
I actually think it’s the losing all the games and missing all the recruits that shows that.
