It's strange how opinions can change situationally. I find myself rooting for Purdue here because I'm tired of the lack of respect for the B1G. I don't think they can beat UConn any more than anyone else, but I think they have the best chance of anyone left, and I would enjoy seeing Edey and...

I've heard/seen it said many times, in various ways and by various people, that defense is largely about effort, focus, intensity, etc. In that regard, I think it's more possible to "turn it up" on D than it is on offense. In other words, I don't think that it's as possible to "effort" your way...

TSJ is such a special player. Obviously there are elements of the story which are yet to be settled, but you could write a very compelling book detailing the saga of him coming to and playing for Illinois. I don't think we, as fans, can fairly claim that the basketball gods still look down on...

Feel like the Illini must be the aggressors and come ready to set the tone early. Playing from behind is not the move, despite our recent success with it. The NCAA Tournament is a different beast, in that regard, I feel. Morehead State just has the look of a team that could give us problems. We...

Shannon's monster effort squandered...my God do I hate losing to PSU, but this is just on another level entirely.

Well, well, well...I certainly wasn't expecting tOSU to be the team to provide some needed help and keep us in the race. You love to see it :cool:

It's that special and, these days, quite rare occurrence where a gifted player remains patient and committed to developing and improving under a single staff and system. The results, as we are finally seeing in CoHawk, can be a beautiful thing to behold.

This statement from the UI spokesperson is not surprising to me, whatsoever. I would expect nothing less than this, as far as an official, public response to an active legal action. If, as has been suggested, this is all being done with some degree of awareness (encouragement?) from certain...

I believe that is correct. And I'm wondering if that was done, at least in part, due to the status of her license being on somewhat shaky ground at the moment 🤷‍♂️

If that incident report is indicative of anything with regard to the broader integrity of this entire case...sheesh :cautious:

That... That felt good 😎

Well, I'm impressed by just how much the knife could be twisted only to end up with the same outcome. Is there no limit to our suffering? This is Illinois football.

All you can do is laugh at that, lol

Oh. My. God.

Lucky break that they couldn't keep the punt out of the endzone
