    I always hate to say anything decent about anOSU, but St. John Arena was a really nice facility.

    Illinois Football Recruiting Thread

    Forget who it was, but a long time Illini staff person was asked least favorite coach and player: Mackovic and Jeff George won.

    Illinois Football Recruiting Thread

    To continue this non-recruiting topic, I listened on the radio, sneaking snippets of the game during my brother-in-law's wedding. Retaliation for my marrying his sister on anOSU - michigan gameday earlier.

    Illinois 88, Purdue 80 Postgame

    I often go to some of the opposing team message boards after a win so I can revel in their miseary (I'm a bad person, I know). One thing is clear to me, we seem to be the most universally disliked team, coach and fanbase in the league, and even beyond! I'm good with that.

    Duke 110, Illinois 67 Postgame

    Late to the discussion again (can't stand the pain to jump in), but couple of things. Pretty ridiculous to rip Ben when, as Second pointed out, we lost by 40.

    Michigan State 79, Illinois 65 Postgame

    the only small correction I would make to this is, at a point in late in the second half, I was just dumbstruck at how many 10 foot jump shots MSU was making. Isn't that what you want a team to shoot?
