We beat Duke at home! (once...)

The players will likely react with great enthusiasm. The knew that the DC was a fraud and his leadership was lacking and disorganization reigned. It's a much brighter day now and the defense will be remotivated. Whether it remains that way will depend on their success rate. I was a fixer in...

I'm a cub fan and the only one from 2016 thought of as a future HOF er was Bryant. you can find a lot of fans saying a lot of things....but those were not the general consensus. Cards have several good young players.... not sure about the manager, tho. For both Cubs and CARDS--WTNY! Going to...

I was thinking BEFORE the game yesterday that what Bielema's Wisconsin teams were famous for were road grader offensive linemen and bull-rushing running backs. We've really had neither in his tenure here...until yesterday. I loved Chase Brown, but he was a darter, not a pounder. The linemen are...

Total collapse for the Fighting Illini. Three point second half. Missing a WIDE OPEN receiver in the end zone. Unable to get stops when needed. This team may win three games playing like this.... On to basketball....

When you're leading the majors in runs, hits, on base percentage and defense, you'd think they would be closer to the top. It's relief pitching EVERY DAY. Every single day! It comes down to a lead blown by the relievers. I wish there was a way to charge the relievers with inherited runs...

out 2-6 weeks

Not at ALL impressed with the defense. We couldn't get them off the field. The scheme looked weak against the run and the line backers couldn't seem to tackle anybody. This was an extremely weak opponent and we couldn't contain them. Hopefully, this was a learning experience and next week will...

now BEHIND the Phillies... We're limping to the finish line. Fire ALL relievers.

twenty-five runs in the first two games and we're 1-1... says it all.

Playing at U of I is his JOB. He's getting paid for that. It seems like his loyalty is divided and should be, but it has to be first to his employer. I'll never fault an athlete for wanting to represent his country but I get it that Illinois sees him as a key element to integrate into the team...

Don't sleep on Zens. He's our third mr. basketball in the past 6 years to enroll at the beloved and the past two have played really well. He's a very good shooter and, when whipped into shape will become a good front court for the Illini.

hmmm very unequivocal comment by you.... Have you seen all of them play, and charted their progress this summer?

Baby Jordan?

Um...tenth inning last night?
