Illini spank PU at home and my son finally starts walking @ 15 months. A great evening!
Great age. Mine walked for about a day, then ran. Get your track shoes ready.

Realize that in general we are a manic depressive board. Extremes on both sides, unfortunately. We will continue to have highs and lows....but if we execute like this I expect to be competitive ( which is all I aim for given our challenges).It's this kind of post that just inflames this board. Prob what you were going for. Great win for sure, but it's only 1 win. Let's hope they can keep us this kind of intensity.
Great point!Feels fitting that our real downward spiral came in the 2nd half of the Purdue game last year, and that our first real statement game started in the 2nd half of the Purdue game this year.
Maintain low expectations and you may be surprised...and you shouldn't be disappointed.This was the first big ten game under Groce that Illinois has shot over 50 percent! Other than Purdue's two 7 footers, I don't see much talent difference between Illinois and Purdue (even with our injuries). It may be biased to say that after a home win where we played our best game all year, but I think we still have a team that is talented enough to make the tournament. Unfortunately, we have put ourselves in terrible position to make the tournament with our poor record. At least we have a high SOS, maybe that will give us a chance.
Yeah, he's been plenty mobile for a while, just hasn't wanted/needed to do it on his own.Congrats on the walking. Now that he is mobile the real fun begins.
I think that's gonna happen here too, lol.Great age. Mine walked for about a day, then ran. Get your track shoes ready.
Can you believe that the Illini actually shot 28 free throws in a game. I love the aggressive attitude on both sides of the court.
I really thought this team turned the corner with the tOSU game despite the loss. The MSU game had me scratching my head. ... Hopefully, this is in the past and the team we saw tonight is the team we have moving forward.
I got a 30 year old rag of an Illini sweatshirt I broke out to lay around the house today! :thumb:
I'm eating Mav crow in particular.And to think I got attacked on this board just for saying we had a chance. Enjoy your delicious crow people. :thumb:
