    Illini in the Pros (Basketball)

    This guy, man... he is just one of those happily humble people. These little interviews while he's living his best life always brighten my day. I'm proud to be a fan and just so dang happy for him.

    Illini in the Pros (Basketball)

    It bugs me that they didn't list his turnovers. Pardon me. Turnover. This stat line would be much less impressive with 4 fouls and 5 TO. Five players on his team had multiple turnovers. Dude held it down.

    It's only week [insert week here], they'll improve with more live tackling.

    Illinois Hoops Recruiting Thread

    He has a lot to consider, but we've seen what Fletch can do. Putting those two to work with the same goal would push almost every matchup of Berrouet's into "unfair" territory.

    Very close to perfect, but not quite there.

    I don't know what any of this means, but I also don't know why I'm still awake, so here I go... pretending to stay calm.

    DC Bobby Hauck out at Illinois

    He might have made a mistake there. I truly believe that he sees still sees high potential in Henry as a schemer, coach, recruiter, or all of the above. We all think that he's overly optimistic about that, but it's not blind loyalty if he's setting him up as well as possible for his own...

    DC Bobby Hauck out at Illinois

    Sure. I'm not sure how many snaps have seen us actually use three down linemen with backers stacked or ends wide. The problem is the personnel - we can't conjure more B1G-ready DTs from nowhere. Until someone with knowledge of practices and our depth chart tells us that we have big kids ready...

    Ohio State 42, Illinois 19 Postgame

    Fair, but we should only care about it as far as missed opportunity with donors goes. If it ever comes up, the coaches can easily point out that we could have had 20 and they'll continue to take those risks and give players chances to win their games. They also have the stat for our 19-pts and...

    Week 4 Games

    In high school, you walk on the field, grab him by the face mask, and put him in his very, very low place. It this was us, any of the guys that saw the play and gave him a five should be sitting out a quarter. Or more, I don't know. Doesn't matter if it's not the absolute worst hit ever. The...

    Maybe that one guy can buy a 0:00 shirt to commemorate today's incredible end zone catch.

    Baby of the Year

    I hope you have fun, she is so cute! You need to be aware, as I think you are on track, to have fun with this then walk away. Sorry to pour cold water on this, but these contests (baby of the year, baker of the year, pet of the year, etc.) run by Colossal are a scam. There will eventually be...
