Is there really anything else to wear but a costume in New Orleans?

Sounds good to me. Hang the banner.

Smooth, repeatable, quick release. I like it.

Watching Frank Williams while I was at U of I (1999-2003) and in throwback highlight reels was and is like watching basketball in a dream... no way does someone make those plays in real life... Also, how old I've become is just more evident by the day 🙃

Is it just me, or does his anti-Illinois bias only seem obvious online? Maybe I just haven't caught it on TV, but I generally like him on BTN.

Your bolded statement is exactly right, and your original statement is opinion only. There's nothing wrong with you loving AP more...but, that doesn't make him the "Best shooter in Illinois history." TSJ is also listed in the PDF previously, linked, and he played after the 3 pt distance was...

My/"your" list only refers to my opinion or sample of the official records posted on fightingillini.com. Like I said, AP is in the conversation, but not without-a-doubt the best shooter in Illinois history.

Alfonso Plummer is certainly in the conversation, but not the definitely the best in Illini history. See pages 166-168: https://fightingillini.com/documents/2025/11/5/2025-26_ILLINI_MBB_Record_Book.pdf I would give more of a nod toward players who played their entire career here: Cory Bradford...

To be fair to Adidas (even though I would be extremely unhappy if we signed with them), "redesigning" Nebraska football uniforms seems like an effort of futility that everyone but Nebraska knows is pointless. How much could they really do with red, white, and "traditional elements" that amounts...

The dives are a blight on the game, and they should be making a concerted effort to eliminate it. But, to say that increasing viewership overall is not a significant reason is totally overlooking the real reason any of these large sports organizations do anything -- 💰💰💰. And American viewership...

I enjoy watching high level soccer, especially the World Cup, despite the faking the occurs a large percentage of trips up and down the pitch. Maybe FIFA doesn't care (but they should) about USA viewership, but the overturned yellow card by VAR and yellow card instead given for the dive by...

Did the stuff he had to clean up prevent him from going elsewhere prior to this? I only vaguely recall him being discussed. What other programs were seriously interested?

I'm happy with BU going to the bank every year if the Final Four (and national championship) is going to be a stop along the way. 😁
