We certainly have against OSU and Wisconsin over the years. Perhaps v. Nebraska, too.I honestly never pay attention to jerseys, do we normally wear orange against teams with red in their color scheme?
Lou produced much more on the court for Illinois than Lon did. It's not close, and I loved Lon as a coach and wish he had stayed longer.Lou was a good coach, but no chance he goes ahead of Self and Kruger.
Yeah, that’s one of the best things about Lou…loyalty. That’s almost unheard of now days.Nothing personal but I really don’t like this take, Lou built a program from the ground up through hard work and preaching fundamentals. Kruger and Selfish used what Lou built as a stepping stone to “better” jobs. Lou>Self>Kruger is my take.
Without Lou’s wife, we wouldn’t have gotten Lou!Without Lou, there may have been no Kruger or self.
Fully endorsed if it's the shocking reveal of the blue Flyin' Illini throwbacks!So we're gonna wear blue jerseys today right?

Good observation. His style was probably the exact opposite of Underwood with respect to sideline demeanor. I knew one of the managers during that period of time who claimed he never heard Coach Henson utter a single curse word in practice or during a game. May be an apocryphal story, but the parallels on "great recruiter but can't win the big one" are spot on.I love Henson, but my dad always talks about how people never really appreciated him until he was gone. There was AT LEAST as much of a "he can't win the big games" narrative about him as some have about Underwood all throughout the 1980s ... let's remember 1989 came near the end of our heyday. And who knows what Self does if he stays at Illinois or what Underwood does if he's at Kansas all this time? It's just hard to say.

Lou was 1-7 against IU during my years on campus. mehI love Henson, but my dad always talks about how people never really appreciated him until he was gone.

Yep, big shout out to Mary!Without Lou’s wife, we wouldn’t have gotten Lou!
The language was different but their sideline demeanor was very similar, imo.Good observation. His style was probably the exact opposite of Underwood with respect to sideline demeanor. I knew one of the managers during that period of time who claimed he never heard Coach Henson utter a single curse word in practice or during a game. May be an apocryphal story, but the parallels on "great recruiter but can't win the big one" are spot on.
I believe it's Buzzard Billy's.Where’s the Illini bar gathering before the game in Des Moines? Can’t find the post on twitter.
