    Illinois at Michigan State, Saturday, October 10th, 2:30pm CT, FS1

    OK; I'll be pedantic here: I'd really rather have heard Barry say "that was really one of the poorest performance I've been a part of.." rather than "one of the poor performances..." The latter implies that he's been part of a lot of poor offensive performances during his tenure. Freudian slip...

    Illini Basketball 2026-2027

    What about the fact of grade inflation in every facet of our culture surprises you, my astute friend?! All must have (prospective) prizes. :ROFLMAO:

    Just an aesthetic note: am absolutely delighted that for our media the default unis are the orange scripts 🔥🔥🔥

    Splendid for the program and its fans. Now stay healthy and grind.

    Purdue 24, Illinois 17 Postgame

    I dunno. Seems precisely analogous. In @The Galloping Ghost ’s GIF there remains part of the dwelling and foundation. It’s just that the home is fairly uninhabitable and will require massive backfilling, reinforcement, and reconstruction. That’s exactly where the program seems to be this evening.

    Game Thread: Illinois vs Purdue

    Thoughts and prayers. This is an abdication of coaching leadership.

    Game Thread: Illinois vs Purdue

    Inexplicable. Take the FG and it’s a one-possession game

    Game Thread: Illinois vs Purdue

    Someone who understands secondary coaching: please explain how our guys can be so poorly out of position so consistently. We’re making these Boilerclowns look like a Top 20 team.

    A colleague/close friend played hoops for the Terps in the mid-'60s (he's pushing 80 and refuses to retire!) We talk sports regularly. He has accepted the BT but still mourns the loss of the UVa/UNC/Duke and other ACC rivalries, which were rich ones. I feel badly for him.

    Amen, brother. Let's hope they can't scrape together the ~$10 million buyout until November at the earliest. I want to enjoy a blindingly orange Halloween onslaught in See-Through Stadium.

    DC Bobby Hauck out at Illinois

    A welcome rememinder that: (1) Our long Illini nightmare is over; (2) The stich can always be much worse than it actually is. That guy was a walking, bumbling parody.

    Man, among Maryland, Michigan and Penn State, I'm shotgunning schadenfreude this evening.

    Week 4 Games

    lol Wisconsin may actually beat PSU on road 24-20 after trailing 17-0. If they don't absolutely collapse here.

    Regulation is first and foremost about industry incumbents having substantial market share seeking to impose barriers to entry on prospective competitors. Regulatory capture is the aim.
