Tuesday truths: Illinois is driving one alum crazy

I don't remember which episode of "The Simpsons" it was, exactly, or what plot twists ensued from the fact that Krusty had bet against the Harlem Globetrotters ("I thought the Generals were due!"), but I do remember him offering suggestions for his team's defense thusly: "He's spinning the ball on his finger! Just take it, for God's sake!" That's kind of how I feel watching Illinois on offense this season.
