    Tennessee's Ziegler sues for 5th year of eligibility

    Keyword there is MOST. And citing the opinions of 1 poster still doesn't change that. If we all had to lay down a $100 bill on the outcome, I'm pretty sure which side that $$$, MOST vs LEAST, would have been on.

    Illinois Football Uniforms

    Yeah, let's not promote MO at all.... lol, those games played in MO will work for promoting MO. But using that image to promote a game in Champaign? I think NOT! Though I do love the Arch and it's historical (Mechanical/Engineering and historical/Westward U.S. Expansion) significance, I do...

    Illini Football 2025

    While he's been great for us, he's listed as only 4th best in the B1G in that article . No idea where that puts him Nationally, but 1st rounder is perhaps a stretch unless he has a monster season and leads the B1G in a couple of categories. A year over year progression including this upcoming...

    Illinois Football Recruiting Thread

    I'm thinking shark here buddy, lol! I guess to follow up on my post from a few minutes ago, I need to learn a little patience. I'm guessing in todays world, these players all want their announcements to not overlap, have their moment, and the DIA will schedule releases/announcements in an...

    Wow, I thought we were expected to get a few commitment announcements this weekend. Nothing has materialized yet. Or was the expectation that we'd get Silent Verbals, and announcements later?!?!?

    College Athletics Enters Revenue Sharing Era

    Doesn't mean we have to like it, forewarned or not. As Social Media shows us on a daily basis, some of us will react in a 'Yeah, whatever' way, others will get hysterical, scream and shout, and proclaim that both we and the sport are doomed. I'm really curious, how many of us are under or over...

    College Athletics Enters Revenue Sharing Era

    Here we go.... beginning of the end? Or will the fans hang on despite the professionalization of NCAA men's Football/Basketball these next 5-10 years before a decline? I think we can all honestly admit, not 1 single sport outside of those even matter. Do we, as fans, figure how to develop and...

    Illini @ Duke Sat Sept. 6 - Road Trip Thread

    Were you playing in the APA? If not I'd strongly suggest it. Playing in my 23rd consecutive year currently. Love the team format and it's been a great way to spend time with, and make new friends.

    Illinois Hoops Recruiting Thread

    That era of Celtic teams were my absolute favorites. Once the likes of Bird, McHale, Parrish, DJ, etc... were gone, my withdrawal from NBA fandom had started to commence.... The Stockton/Malone Jazz, the Mavs with Nowitzki, Spurs with Duncan/Robinson, even the Suns with Nash kept pulling me...

    Charles Lee Isbell Jr. named University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign chancellor

    Or at the very least stays uninvolved. Even though JW has people above him, I feel like he's got to have earned a very very long leash with how our sports programs are currently being run. Perhaps we'll get really lucky and Isbell will be a huge sports fan and offer any and all support to JW...

    Tennessee's Ziegler sues for 5th year of eligibility

    I have 0 problem with this. Someone, somewhere, NCAA, College teams, .gov, has to put their foot down and start drawing lines, setting concrete barriers and guidelines on this exploding situation (NIL, Years of Eligibility, Student/Employee/mercenary). We have to start somewhere, right?
