    2/28 Polls & Bracketology - Illinois #20 in AP Poll

    I don't understand the love for UM. 16-13 and most paces have them in. I for one don't get it.

    Hawkins with 17 points, 6 rebounds, Trent and Plummer each score 20. Just enough! GO ILLINI!

    Arizona 83, Illinois 79 Postgame

    Gave up too many 2nd chance points. We need to win the rebounding battle.

    not to mention the 5th starter! When was the last time 4 players only scored? Need Belo back, and either one of the freshman or Hawk to step up. GO ILLINI!

    Pregame: Illinois vs Arizona, Saturday, December 11th, 4:00pm CT, FOX

    The Fever Pitch book was great. My wife is off on a ladies weekend and she is actually disappointed that she will miss the game. Learning how to be a real fan in her 60s. She once asked me about 15 years ago (my 2nd wife) how I could get so excited about a game. Looking forward to the game! ILL

    Game Thread: Illinois at Iowa

    Grew up in Chicago, went to Illinois and took a job east. Son-in-law is from Buffalo area and have double-ex-brother-in-law out there as well. (divorced to my ex-wife's sister). Don't like the Bills but hate the Pats at this point. Bears fan unfortunately.

    Game Thread: Illinois at Iowa

    GO ILLINI! Listening to pregame. Go BILLS as well. I live in MA and hope for the worst for the Pats. You think Iowa fans are bad. Try combining the arrogance of MU and OSU and you start to approach Pats fan. Bring back 1986 football! :ah: :hailtotheorange: :ah: ILL
