Unless he’s on the JCL plan.He has played four years, this is his 5th (covid) year, and his last.

What if that buzzer beater is against us, to deny us a championship? I, for one, would not be applauding. And if he missed that shot, I'm guessing he would not return an 'ILL'On the final day of the B1G conference season, Goode will drain a buzzer beater 3 to beat whatever team is competing for the regular season championship with us (maybe USC?), clinching the title for the Illinois. The prophecy has spoken.
It's done.
Red GoldHeinz is the best Ketchup...hands down. Don't even get me started on "Catsup"...
San Diego - traded for templetonOzzie started with someone else.
Lou as in Brock? Didn't the Cubs trade him to the Cardinals for right handed pitcher Ernie Broglio? I am thinking they saw Lou Brock as an error prone center fielder? The red birds moved him to left field? Something like that.Goode to Indiana is, to a much lesser degree, like Albert Pujols going to the Angels. Years later, all will be forgotten and only the fondness will remain. But, Puljols surrendered his “Stan Musial” status and will not occupy the same rarified air as The Man, Gibby, Lou, Red and Ozzie. Likewise, we’ll remember Luke fondly, but he won’t reach Ayo, Kofi, Trent, DaMonte or Coleman status.
Is this any worse than Steve Stricker showing up at a Wisky/Illini bball game in Madison wearing Badger gear? Cheering for a team that wouldn't offer him a schollie coming out of high school (and by his future father-in-law, no less)!Look it makes sense. But, Indiana sucks. Figure it out, Bub. Lol
Read the threadAside from those previous posts, I’m hearing some Dj Wagner murmurs. Can anyone confirm what I’m hearing?
I typically get annoyed by that comment when there is a player comparison. But this might be appropriate in this case.does he have a step back fade away mid-range game? Passing? Talk trash? Have we truly landed the ever illusive less athletic Larry Bird.
I quietly disagree with a vast majority of things Gritty writes. It’s not personal. We are just on two ends of the spectrum in terms of the transfer portal and college athletics and that’s ok.Players shouldn't play for both sides of a college sports rivalry.
The norm should be players using their entire eligibility at one school, as is the (also dissipating) norm for students. That connection, that parallel, is unique to college sports and is what makes a laughably inferior minor league competition a beloved (and lucrative) cultural touchstone.
This sport will collapse if this is where it’s going. And that's bad for everybody.

Does anybody else catch up on threads by reading it backwards (newest to oldest)?This should be pinned at the top of every page of every thread. Do the work, the rest of us do.
Can't be U of I....he said Illinois University...wherever that is?I came across this today. I’m surprised no one’s written a book on crazy recruiting stories.

So what’s the news on Storr???This should be pinned at the top of every page of every thread. Do the work, the rest of us do.
I say all that but none of it is hate towards Luke. He’s doing what’s best for him and I love that for him. As a person. Wish him nothing but the best at Indiana and in life.I quietly disagree with a vast majority of things Gritty writes. It’s not personal. We are just on two ends of the spectrum in terms of the transfer portal and college athletics and that’s ok.
On this point, I agree mostly. I don’t care if you use all your eligibility at a single school. I don’t even actually care if you want to transfer to a rival. But you lose the right to call yourself a ____ for life when you transfer to a rival. You can’t be an Illini for Life and transfer to Indiana or Iowa or Missouri.
That’s not me being selfish. That’s reality. I have a bachelors from Tennessee and a MBA from Illinois. I never considered getting my MBA from Alabama, Florida, Georgia or Kentucky. It wouldn’t have mattered how good their MBA programs were. I DETEST all of those schools on a molecular level.
