Papa Dels takes 2 hours or longer on a good day. Honestly I would never expect to even get food in an hour after sitting down it's so slow. Very risky going there if you are on any kind of time schedule.
Pregame: Illinois vs Purdue, Friday, March 7th, 7:00pm CT, FOX

if you want to see the senior night festivities at 6:30 you probably wont make it unless you order your pizza before you arrive. i love dels but its never fast

Pro-tip: Order it ahead as a takeout. About half way (or more) through the wait period, show up and sit at the bar. Have a drink while you wait. Once pizza is ready, grab it from the counter and return to the bar. Ask for plates and silverware and enjoy!
We went for the Michigan state game that started at 7:00, and we got there at 4:30. We waited for almost an hour before sitting g down. Fortunately we got to order the pizza while we were waiting so it was ready about 30 minutes after we sat down.
Calling ahead at Del's has always worked for me. I'd recommend that. I'm running out of things when I go back to C-U that remind me of my days on campus but Del's thankfully is still one.
Papa Del's, Orange Krush, and love the one you're with. Roll, Fighting Illini.
Illini by 14 on the last night of the regular season.

As of the last year of so, they no longer allow you to eat at the bar on Friday or Saturday nights.
My son said his feet were bothering him his sophomore year in high school during basketball season. We couldn't see anything wrong, no swelling or bruising. Figured it was nothing serious but went on long enough we took him to doctor. As it turned out he had stress fractures in both feet. Doctor said they were already healing and that he couldn't do any more damage if he didn't mind the pain. He wanted to finish off season and then rest a couple of weeks before starting track. Felt bad about not getting him to doctor sooner.
OMG, it happens to multiple college, high school teams every year. Until they come up with a way to see who is gonna get sick every year and see weeks into the future it's just gonna be part of life.
Hopefully. they will be available in the fall of 2025.

Singing praises of JW and the administrations support.
My perpecticd: Way too much here in STL… … disproportionate coverage.

whens the last time we beat a team with a stud pg?
I also believe that an overabundance of caution is advisable. That being said, the flu is contagious before symptoms appear, so no one "let" a communicable disease have free reign over our locker room.
boy was curbelo good that year
We beat Tamin Lipsey in the sweet 16 last year. Also Boo Buie.
This year we've beat Bruce Thornton, Ace Baldwin(left with an injury in game), and Jackson Sheldstad. Also some guy named Skyy Clark that I remember a bunch of people being excited about him as a point guard.
Anybody know who is participating in senior day?
I feel like we're the better team, but we haven't had success against Purdue the last 3 years, so we definitely need an A game. Brad should be fired up for this one to get this monkey off his back. I do think Kylan can make life tough on Smith, I think Kasparas will be on Cox, who's not much of a threat which should keep him out of foul trouble. Tomi will be on Furst, the question I have is who guards TKR and Loyer - my first instinct is Will on Loyer and Tre on TKR, but then Tre is giving up a lot of height, so that may have to get flipped - either way, I don't think we have someone that is a good defensive matchup on TKR - Morez would have been the right guy, this is where his absence will hurt us. Not that Ben can stop TKR any better than Will but that match up will be one to watch.
On the flip side, if TKR is guarding Will, he should be taking him to the bucket and getting him in foul trouble early and often. That's a bad matchup for Purdue as well

I know it's easier said than done but pressure him on the perimeter and make him take shots at the rim.
Don't help off Loyer.
