Disqualified. Otto the orange already exists and this is not an orange hailstone with legs.

I imagine this will produce something similar (in both uniqueness and heinousness) to the Stanford tree... and I don't hate it.

Can't find it in the store. Bummer. Did they take it down already?
Not gonna lie… should we ever have to change the Illini name, “The Orange Hail” wouldn’t be a bad option.

It seems they did. My favorite part of the statement they released was that they wanted to celebrate the "diversity and international community" on campus but apparently couldn't be bothered to find someone who spoke any of the languages to ask them to translate.

Orange-sized hail is no joke.

The best thing about that tweet is the follow-on discussion regarding the height of Epps and Clark based on a photo. Can we please start that up again here? It's magical and would get us through at least several slow days.

This blows my mind because I would assume they would have used google translate here which would clearly show their translation as Orange Hail. Google recommends "saludo a la naranja" which I have no clue if it's right, but it can't be any worse.
For fun Google translate for the ones I can spell:
Polish: Hail Oranges
Italian: hello to orange
German: hail the orange
French: hello orange
Swahili: hail for oranges

That sounds like a toast to oranges.

It's still not correct. I believe the correct translation would be something like "saludo al anaranjado," but I am not 100% on the verb tense/mood here because it's been a long time since I formally took a Spanish class. Either way, it is so easy to verify the difference between naranja (fruit) and anaranjado (color).

I realize I encountered some (ahem) mild pushback from my Ty/Nick Anderson comp. (IT WAS ONLY SIZE RELATED CHILL!)......but if you squint just a smidge...Sincere = Kendall Gill. (LOOKS LIKE HIM....NOT A PLAYER COMP DON'T @ ME BRO!)
Chances are better if you just Google translate.
You can see the shot clock above the basket showing about 20 seconds as hes running to his 9th station FWIW
Can someone please take a picture of them standing next to Omar?
