    Penn State 90, Illinois 89 Postgame

    Ouch...that one stings. Really need better poise by veterans and a plan from coaching staff down the stretch. Sad.

    Pregame: Illinois at Iowa, Saturday, November 18th, 2:30pm CT, FS1

    Wow, this really surprises me if true. Maybe this is a fake-out move for Iowa. Agree with AutoPoster that if true, and it backfires, this decision could really haunt Bielema... Just doesn't make sense to me on multiple levels. A faster release for JP improves the OL efficiency, safer...

    PG Poll

    I think we'll end up seeing a lot of TJ at PG in general, and definitely at end of game.

    Your Illini Football Away Games Experience(s)

    Cal Berkeley (2005) - Seem to recall tailgating in an elevated parking garage which was weird. Both teams were, bad but we managed to lose. Part of stadium was a grassy hillside I think, and overall there was a LOT of empty seats. I can see why B1G passed on Cal this round of expansion....I...

    Illini Basketball 2023-2024

    And my favorite Augustine trait: He got EVERY SINGLE JUMP BALL…it was amazing…and has been my pet peeve ever since that we’ve been comparatively horrible at it!

    Conference Realignment

    There are a ton of Illini engineering grads out here in the bay area; selfishly I'd love for us to play regularly in my neck of the woods if Cal or Stanford joined, but Cal's fan base is indeed niche and mostly uninterested. It would have to be 99% TV market based as their team/fans don't bring...

    Had UCONN winning it!...but no SDSU in the final four :( Sadly will come in 5th at best in my main pool as I wasn't the only one picking them...still not bad out of 300+ entries...but this wasn't horseshoes nor hand grenades.
