And the unique and great orange facemasks!

Arched ILLINI with an orange face mask just like we had in the 80s

Yes! Rome was not built overnight. Basketball is a totally different animal than football. We finally have a coach that is ‘committed’ to this program whereas others weren’t or not good enough. BB is both. Another couple of years and things will be great. We finally had two consecutive...

Can anybody share any pictures of the installation of the video board/ribbons? For those of us not near Chambana we would greatly appreciate it.

Maybe we can get him the next go around? Maybe Sutter too? One can wish. I just don’t get it. Is it because we don’t throw to the TEs enough? We seem to attract good WRs, even in the portal but not as good of luck in high school.

I think that is our main problem. We’ve got two 7 footers and they both would rather shoot threes. Sometimes you just need to get underneath and rebpund! Let the guards shoot. If you aren’t willing to rebound get someone who will. I love this team and they are fun to watch no doubt but it’s...

I like the fact that our head coach is so active in recruiting. Position coaches come and go but if the head coach is involved and develops relationships with all of these players that tells me all I need to know and I think it lets the players know how important they all are to the program...

It’s sounds like it is going to be a more aggressive defense so I would assume any defensive player would love to play it. Who wouldn’t want a crack at rushing the QB? If this scheme has roots in what Seattle showed last night I am all for it. We were too passive a defense last season. I...

Izzo saying he didn’t make the decision to not play Fears based on anything other than trying to win this game is BS. They needed the game with a two game losing streak. Moral decision my a$$

Toni needs to get underneath more. He hangs around the top of the key too much. He doesn’t follow his shot either

I like it!

Same thing probably applies to Memorial Stadium then. Are we the only fan base that has our main athletic facilities at a disadvantage when it comes to keeping crowd noise in?

I have always wondered if the university had been placed in say Peoria would we have a different local fan base? More rowdy and blue collar fans?

I have wondered about this for years. I’ve been a diehard fan since the late 80s. I do not go to a ton of games but I have gone to my fair share and one thing I have noticed is how quiet our fans are like they are watching a certain orchestra concert or something. Even with a full arena...

How much is the athletic department debts?
