    2018 St. Louis Cardinals

    These stories aren’t coming out of nowhere. Someone is wanting Matheny gone and is feeding stories to the media. Over under he’s still around by the end of the season?

    Those pop! First look but I like it.

    Illini Basketball 2018-2019

    Total lack of athleticism. I bet if you looked at that for 5 years previous we'd be right near the bottom.

    2018 St. Louis Cardinals

    When's the time to start cutting Carp's playing time? He just is not looking comfortable at all. We need to get Gyorko in there more. Wong is strugggling too so we at least need one of them to start producing.

    Illinois Football Recruiting Thread

    Lots of momentum in the football program. I think this is what everyone was hoping would happen when Lovie was hired. What's crazy is how much Littyville has taken off. There are even shirts on Amazon now!

    Coaching Carousel

    Started wondering where Eric Musselman was going to end up after his run this year so I started looking at potential openings. There really doesn't seem to be a lot of movement unless the FBI investigation gets things heated up. Last year was crazy with the coaching turnover, but this year seems...

    Chicago Bears 2017-2018

    Some really solid FA signings. These moves allow for some flexibity in the draft now. Go LB, CB, and OL in the draft and you've filled quite a few holes in the offseason.

    Chicago Bears 2017-2018

    After watching the press conference I did like the charisma, energy, and honesty Nagy seems to have in spades. First Bears coach I can ever remember that seems like a guy you can really rally behind. We'll see how he does, but it seems we have a new bromance in town with Pace and Nagy. Can...

    New Mexico State 74, Illinois 69 POSTGAME

    Really Mccolley? Asking about Lou Vega in a press conference like that? We get it you try to be a little different. You can still do that without looking like a fool.

    Wake Forest 80, Illinois 73 POSTGAME

    Just couldn't make the big play when needed. Did like the fight to get back in it multiple times but just couldn't get over the hump. Too many fouls which really hurt us. Not to mention the 6 point swing on the non basket interference call. Really changed the game.

    Chicago Bears 2017-2018

    Fox has to go right? There's hardly been any improvement and there are too many games where the team doesn't show up or they battle and can't seem to close. It's becoming a pattern. Problem is I'd love to keep Fangio and throwing another offense at Trubisky might slow him down, but I don't see...

    Pregame: Illinois vs DePaul, Friday, November 17th, 7:30pm CT, BTN

    Of course we're not. Who ever thought that? Those are potential national championship contenders. We'll be lucky to make the tourney.

    Game Thread: Illinois vs Tennessee-Martin

    I see they found a use for Groce's "one step at a time" ladder.
