I read it as he bet Illinois getting the points vs Nebraska, and on the money line vs Nebraska, and then parlayed Illinois against both Nebraska and UTSA. So he won the first two bets, and needs Illinois to win by more than 6.5 against UTSA to win the parlay.

I didn't see it, so apologies if this has already been discussed/posted, but Kofi (and Ayo) are on the list of potential combine participants. It could be cut down from 105 to 70 later on, but it is based on votes from NBA teams, so might have something to do with why Kofi is back in NY for...

They are playing against Vashon (MO) on Saturday night. Don't want to speak for him, but I think TownieMatt was just picking out a few interesting matchups he had some color to add on, but didn't cite whole schedule for the weekend...

Would you mind sharing who your friend was who took that dunk from Maggette? I was texting with a friend after your post, and we can't remember who it was that was on the wrong end of that dunk. I can probably figure it out from initials if you don't want to put his name out there.

From interviews I have read with him, it seems the Kentucky experience humbled him a bit, and it's pretty clear the work he has been putting in. Looked great yesterday. Don't recall if Illinois tried to get involved when he was transferring, but he's going to be solid for Michigan the next...

When was the last time someone had their offer pulled the day of their announcement? It tends to make the new decision a little unclear.

I was factoring in the extra commute from Chicago to UIUC.

I was in Europe for three weeks this summer, and it was Obama that I heard from most people when I told them I lived in Chicago. But got some Jordan as well. I'm not sure a familiarity with Chicago will have an impact one way or the other. The only thing as far as geography that might help...

It seems like we will "know" where we stand tomorrow when he goes to two. If he puts Georgia and Va Tech in final two, obviously we are out. But if he changes his bracket to keep Georgia and us as final two, it seems we would be getting him, no? Otherwise, why not just keep the bracket as...
