Davis is the only one officially listed as a forward. Stoj, Morillo, and Vaaks are an inch taller but still listed as guards.

NC State fans on Reddit seem confident it'll be Justin Gainey now

That's generally what I think as well. They'll probably root for the team they think they have a better chance of beating in the Elite 8. And despite personally liking our chances vs Houston, if I'm an Iowa or Nebby fan, I'd like my chances against the Illini far more than my chances against...

The acoustics of State Farm are weird, like others have mentioned. Nothing travels up or across at State Farm as opposed to Memorial, where you can easily hear the volume from the west main (however loud or quiet it may or may not be) from the east main, so basically only hear what's behind you...

People forget that this has been planned for years. This was probably happening with or without the $100mil from Gies. I get wanting more done to the SEZ, but that takes a lot more time and money than this is costing us. And despite some claims in here and on twitter, this doesn't prevent those...

The top paragraph is something I indirectly touched on in a postgame thread a few weeks ago that was full of people ragging on the student (it was Maryland when the entire Illini section of the internet was ragging on them, not just here). My main point there was that many of the prevalent...

It's the 2nd B1G bid, and technically, we're tied for the 2nd-best record among regular bowl teams in the B1G. The tiebreakers that technically put Iowa ahead of us don't matter all that much anymore, and bids will generally get picked by avoiding certain matchups (no rematches) and by who would...

I think people underestimate the amount of control Athletics has over the MI, especially for a Veteran's Day show like this. If athletics felt the fire extinguisher residue would put players at risk, they just wouldn't allow it. It's far from the first time MI has done it (3rd time since COVID...

Idk if deserve is the right word, but the design of the NEZ does put a spotlight on any attendance issues they have. I think it's easy to forget that current students are one of the smallest segments of the fanbase, even if they have easier access to games, and relative to the numbers, the rest...

And iirc the 3 wins are Valpo 2 years ago and Wisconsin twice

Metallica has been running a competition for the last few years for the best performance of their music by a high school and then a college, so Metallica shows have been popular all over the country over the last few years, whether bands are participating or not. Idk if MI is formally...

It's a room with windows on either side. Internally looking into the weight room and obviously looking out onto the field. Before Smith was built, I think it was the primary recruiting lounge, and now it's where extra team personnel (players, staff, family, etc) sit during the games. Xavier...

Just want to add, the picture above isn't from 2022 Minnesota (game wasn't as well attended as MSU that year, but the west main was 95% full that day), but I believe it's rather 2021 Nebraska. Pic has the old turf, and we replaced it with the current turf for the 2022 season, and I believe most...

There isn't one to my knowledge, and I usually would've heard thru the band side of things by now if we were gonna get one. Disappointing tho, since this is probably the last game I'd consider big enough to warrant it.

People were talking about defensive 3rd downs earlier, but since I didn't see anyone actually give the right answer, I'll tune in. Until USC, it was the bells thing (sounded like "Whom the Bells Toll" but never got to the guitar riff), but for Homecoming, they started using what I think was the...
