    Week 10 Games

    CFP If by that you mean both are in regardless of the outcome, I wouldn't be so certain. The CFP rankings have ND in the 11th spot, and a loss to Miami means they will have beaten absolutely no one all season. If that rates better than a 3 loss SEC team, you'll hear the screams from SEC country...

    Illinois 120, Fairleigh Dickinson 45 Postgame

    I can't thumb this...I just can't. But I agree. Looks like the young guys will be getting a fair amount of tick while the team is dealing with injuries for many weeks to come. Really hope it's not too long for Jake but his reaction looked serious. Other than that, there was a lot to like in...

    Game Thread: Illinois vs Fairleigh Dickinson

    Don't know much about dislocations, but I think it's important to get it back in place before the swelling gets bad. Goes without saying but having Mirk and JD out will be rough. Two really important players.

    Said it (accidentally) in the other games thread, but AS feeds on weaker defenses.

    Game Thread: Illinois vs Fairleigh Dickinson

    I try not to compare teams too much. Humrichhous was great, but if I were worried about replacing someone from last year, I think there's another player I'd be worried about.

    Looking forward to seeing the newcomers get their feet wet in what should be an easy game

    Illini Basketball Uniforms

    Orange uniforms remind me of the heady days of HRF and Lon Krueger. Was it more consistent then to wear orange? Love it when they have the orange out.

    Illinois vs Nebraska, Friday, November 6th, 7:00pm CT, FOX

    Looks like the dept is doing a great job of promoting the team and figuring out how to get butts in the seats. BB turned out to be a steal. Make that MEGA-steal. Really hard to get my brain around the scale of turn-around Josh and BB have done.

    Wondering if tOSU makes the CFP? They have not looked good without Sayin and although their 2 losses are to quality teams, they still have 4 games against decent competition.

    Gotcha, and in that sense I agree. The NBA market will have to decide whether they want to compete with the college market when the CBA is up, but that's not for several years.

    Seems like a great comparison since it shows what a player's actual, real choice is (and how broken the NBA rookie scale is). Of course there are differences, but guys will figure out overall how much they value those. I think you've taken this in a very different direction from the way I...
