Another year of unrealistic expectations being fortified by a run of a few wins in which we probably overachieved. In this era of transferring like the average person changes socks we'll start all over next year. Wagler will undoubtedly be gone so the transfer watch pretty much starts now...

I checked ESPN's national recruiting rankings and they had Illinois at #22. Contrast that ranking to some other sites I looked over that had them in the top 10. That's quite a difference.

I applaud your optimism as well as your pragmatism. However, the facts are that since the very beginning of the Intercollegiate Conference of Faculty Representatives through today's BIG the programs at the forefront have pretty much remained static. Admittedly, there have been short lived...

At 34 you have plenty of time to get to where we elders are. Trust me, you'll get there. You're correct, there isn't something in the water in Champaign but the anticipated outcomes are real and only time will reveal them for you.

To those of us who are long suffering, masochistic Illini fans that have stuck with Our Beloved through thick & thin (mostly thin) we aren't the least bit taken by surprise by this latest haymaker to the gut. It is part of being an loyal supporter that can't be dissuaded and/or discouraged. The...

This game will go a long way to determining whether our expectations are in line with what the program is capable of at this point. Most of us have been here before and know how expectations can be much different than reality. I feel a sense that the two are very close together this time! Go...

Along I-57. Very cool!

This tournament, other than the early exit of The Beloved, has been quite satisfying. Satan, aka pearl, won't be national champion, Scheyer gets bounced in spectacular fashion on the same day as satan and just a few days earlier the biggest Illini hating clown on chitcago radio is disgraced and...

At least one of the biggest Illini haters of all time is finally gone from the airwaves. That render's the tournament loss and the pending transfer's just a teensy less painful!

Who on this seasons' roster is committed, or leaning toward returning next season and who is gone for sure?

No hate. Just would much rather listen to Brian & Deon. To be honest, I've never heard of any of the TV people. They're all clown to me.

We much prefer listening to Brian & Deon. What about that constitutes hate.

is the radio link working for anyone? I can't get it to come up and I can't stand listening to the TV clowns.

It never seems to end. 2 steps forward, 3 steps back. Ugh!

Read recently that redshirt freshman punter Declan Duley will enter the transfer portal. This kid was reported to have a world of potential. Any word on what the story is with this kid? He played his high school football not far from us and he seemed to be a legit D1 college punter.
