He could be in the nursing home out my back window, I guess
IlliniwekKDR
- Colorado Springs, CO
I just stopped in to check on Bryce Hopkins Watch 2023, but I have a strange uncontrollable urge to seek out a burger for some reason.....
We've heard...You shouldn’t … I have no sources …
Moonglow are the largest for sure!
Is this bad news possibly? Certainly hope not. But not worried if it is because I know this staff always comes through.
I worked with 0440's dad. I know exactly who he is although I never met him in person. His dad was a very good man and very proud of his son.
You can't go wrong with either. I just don't like their sauce. Bitter Pops on Lincoln/Belmont is probably 2nd and their beer menu isLove Red Hot Ranch but Fatso's Last Stand is
...much like you can't go wrong between Tyger, Boswell & RayJ
I just left Robinson today at 4pm. Was there helping my aged dad get his house safer and try to help my bff get his house in order after the tornado last week (it leveled his home). I'll look you up next time!
*methinks the town is actually called Moonshine...but is near Martinsville.
MIke W ? Or am I mistaken?
Why did his dad give him a social security number for a name? Did you ever ask him that?
0440 is Mike Woodson?
Do they still do the tenderloin sandwiches? For my part...that's what they're famous for.
no it's code, its not W it's double U. He's clearly Mike Uly Ugodala, who is of course a word famous nose flutist and Illinois basketball aficionado.
The mystery of 0440 continues, mistaken identity on my part, " or is it"?, still not sure.
Let’s get really crazy. Your name is stevej65. Let’s connect the dots.
A while back I posted back that I’m a Champaign central alum, 0440 mentioned he was too. So he’s from Champaign. When I was in high school I interned at WDWS when Stevie J was station manager (don’t know if he still is or not).
Loren Tate works with WDWS and his son has been in the Illini hoops loop for ages. I’d almost say 0440 was Tate’s son but he went to centennial. So my theory is blown up
, but… is stevej65 really Stevie J of WDWS?!?The mystery continues….
Hahahah. I love it. And I do know Stevie J as wellLet’s get really crazy. Your name is stevej65. Let’s connect the dots.

I've been mistaken of that Stevie J a lot, however he is the owner of 93.5 radio station now plus who knows what else and I am just a Sales Rep in the Material Handling Business.Let’s get really crazy. Your name is stevej65. Let’s connect the dots.

You could go into the nursing home and look for "Grandpa" and probably get a bus load, but I wouldn't be one of them. I'm work way too hard to have time for a home.
It's going to be a very interesting year next year from a roster construction standpoint, as thus far based on the transfers being added and the recruits coming in, it's almost like we may be going to more of a "line change" style substitution situation next year where you'll have your starting 5 and then you'll have your "checking/energy" line. In adding Domask, Harmon, and likely Guerrier, to Goode and Sencire, you're looking at a bunch of 4th-5th starter/6th-7th man guys on the roster all likely looking for a bare minimum 10-15 minutes a game (and likely higher) so managing that will be very interesting to say the least.
If TSJ and CoHawk are to come back we're basically looking at something like
Starter:
TBD PG
TSJ
CoHawk
Dainja
Rodgers/Goode
With an Energy line of:
TBD PG/Harmon
Domask
Guerrier
Harris
Rodgers/Goode
With about 5-10min for Amani filling in for Dain or the energy line and spot minutes for DGL and Moretti?
I think it could work so long as the players have good team chemistry and everyone is able to put aside their egos but it'll be a different way to go about it for sure as I have a hard time believing that this roster will only go the typical 7 or 8 deep in the 2nd half of the season as Harmon/Domask/Guerrier didn't come here to sit. A rolling 9 or 10 deep lineup seems most likely, but that's a rarity for a P5 team. I'm intrigued to see how Brad will handle it.
The smash burger. They serve them down the road at The Blue Canoe also.
