    Agreed. I've been on here almost 20 years and it never gets old. Heros one day, plumbers the next. And it's the same people....

    AD Josh Whitman 10 years at Illinois

    Could not be prouder of AD Whitman and what he's done for our school. My wife and I crack up that we went from seeing him in Kams to watching him lead us to the promised land in all things Illinois sports. Very cool story.

    CFP Games

    I'm a child of the 80s and have spent my entire life being taught to loath Indiana and Iowa. I cannot ever root for either team, and I have a tremendous amount of jealousy for their rapid success:) While I do have a number of friends that are Indiana alums and I'm very happy for them, I'm...

    Game Thread: Illinois vs Texas Tech

    We haven't had a team this deep in a verrrrrry long time. We have 3 - 5 scoring threats on the on the floor at all times (will only improve once folks are back from injury) and our defense is very good. It's very hard to recall a team that seemed this confident against another really good squad.

    We left one on the table yesterday. 60 in reach but avoiding 100 looking very difficult.

    Illinois 45, Duke 19 Postgame

    Solid summary and I'd agree. Our offense was slower to start but after the first couple of drives looked very solid. Our defense didn't seem to create much pressure, but I'm not sure we blitzed too much and seemed to play straight up outside of some corner schemes. I'm hopeful our offense can...

    Chicago White Sox 2025

    It's actually a blast watching the Sox, almost every game now. Can't wait to for next season and what will hopefully be an invigorated team and fan base. Add some RPs as folks have called out and it could be another year with big improvements. Separately, we're having a larger party with a...
