I guess I feel this way too. WHO do you think you are going to replace our head coach with? Seriously,,,, look at our program over the last 50 years. A few blips on the radar but nothing has been sustained. With what we lost to the NFL alone did a reasonable fan think we could better last years...

Always hard to lose to Iowa, I live in Illinois but 30 minutes away from Iowa. Obviously we always hear so much about them and so little about us. Two of the hardest losses in my 50 years of being a Illini fan were, Kicking an inside kick against them at Iowa in the Mike White years,it was...

I told my daughter she could go to any big 10 school,,,, but the tuition was going to Illinois

Wasn't expecting the answer above but consecutive posts have me lmao

Hate to pin it on one thing. Although the 3point shooting percentage is down after early season wins. As said before with depth and a short team we need it to be higher to win and be successful. Our short bench is starting to catch up to us as well, it's a long season. Haven't heard about any...

I was worried about what happened at Arkansas as well. Didn't seem like a WOW hire, but who was I expecting really. I thought the Lovie hire was Incredible bad and it was rightfully so on my part. Although I didn't think it would be as bad as it was. Then comes the BB hire being the longtime...

Great to hear from the coach and the ladies. If you don't take anything else away from that it is truly the teamwork and wanting to make your teammates better. Thank you Coach and ladies,, you are Great representatives of the University!

I started to watched that last night about 11. Talk about total domination. Offense couldn't be stopped and that defense,man did they hit!! Can't believe he turned that team around so fast,too bad he couldn't sustain it.

2008 LeShoure #10. Rating's can be off some times but Pocic at 5 who else was rated higher? Sure glad we got both of them. Wow glory days, let's get the recruits and Win with them!!

Seriously,,, I know defense tonight was not the greatest, but the one handed catch? I mean what the heck. Doubt it's a fluke that he's a good reciever that can catch the ball and very well with great hand's. Why was he lost,, Lovie????

I guess I thought I said worst team talent wise EVER is a pretty big statement. Thanks for the link on Illinois basketball though. Brought back good memories and some bad. Started following Illinois in the 70s. 73-75 weren't very pretty but they had 1 player,,Rick Schmidt who was very talented...

Seriously,,, we have had great, good team's in the past. Worst team ever talent wise? Pretty big statement. With Belo coming back I just can't believe that. I realize that is only 1 player,, but a pretty darn good one. Would I feel talent wise if it was Ace or Belo. I would take Belo talent wise...

Ok, spot shooter,step up shooter, remember he played against mainly small schools. Obviously looking for all skills however that might translate to a 5* recruit. Definitely have to play defense for BU, sometimes shooter vs defensive player don't corelate. Seems like roster is getting larger...

Thanks for helping me out with all the information!!! Anyone remember Brad Melton? I think I spelled name correctly. Just my very limited thoughts and intelligence on players and the recruiting process. Seems like a similar player. Why can I remember things from more than10 years ago better than...

Can someone help me? I am old and apparently not with it. Who is " Podz"?
