Hey all! Update: My son didn't make the men's band as a freshman but did make the women's! Double basketball for me this year!!! So excited!
I must’ve of missed it but when was Andre injured? What happened?
It was...
to witness/participate
He sprained his knee running away from all the hot takes in here
I hate it when the glass is half empty rather than half full, ¡así es la vida.He's out for the season, per reports. So, I suppose, yes... if you consider 52 = "a few"
Because its a requirement to be a member here
Press forward - Go Illini!
He could be back right now (still is doing basketball stuff). Would expect him back in practice in the next week or two.
What was it? Soft tissue? Ankle?

Are we gonna be stuck with the same crap jerseys for the eight year in a row?
Who is asleep at the wheel here?! Football gets so much more attention.
If Illinois basketball is not on the services that I already pay for on DIRECTV, I can easily find other things to watch or to do. I feel the same way about the Cardinals. Although right now they are not worth my time.How many streaming services am I going to need this year?
Hear you….not doing the Big10+ this year.
This is why I grew up a bigger basketball fan than football. October 19th can’t come soon enough!
The silver lining of the football team getting demolished is no more "stop talking basketball when the football team is great"...I hope.

I'm on your side. It is always basketball season. It's always football season too.

We’re a basketball school.
Always will be.
Always will be.
I agree but the engagement stats Dan has shared recently have been eye opening - Just 4 games into the season and a couple of the football threads have already been among the most active threads ever on this site.
It could indicate that our fans are more passionate about football but have just been deprived of a good football team. Of course, football has always been a bigger draw in terms of fan attendance. So, maybe this isn't that surprising.

If people are thinking like me, they thought this time was different regarding football. I honestly thought we were finally past the "one season mirage followed by years of suck", but last night put a pretty substantial hole in that idea.
I hope I'm wrong and last night was just one of those nights like how even teams who win 100 games in a baseball season get beat 13-2 a couple of times a season. But history isn't on our side.

Taste of success however short lived will do that.
Football is more of a draw for casual fans.
Looking at the schedule, we should sweep the home and home games. That’s 8 wins and if we can win the others home games that will be 14 wins. Steal a couple of road wins that are not from the home and home games and we can get a nice seed inn the Tourney. The B1G will be tough as UCLA, Purdue and both Michigans will be tough. Throw in an always solid Wisconsin team along with Washington and this will be the deepest B1G ever.
