Only it should be Men in Orange.

Hey fellow Deacon fan. Wife was a cheerleader at Wake in the mid-seventies. I've adopted them as my second team now that they're playing well. They missed Mucius tonight, one of their starters and Si went down with a nasty ankle injury in the first half. Leading scorer Alondes Williams was on...

I am worried.

I can't stand it! It's cold out here on the ledge!!!

Excellent comments alt. I never really tried to put together a most favorite list of former Illini, because I like em all, except, well never mind, but, I think it's safe to say that Kenny Battle is very near the top. IIRC, in the Final Four game with Michigan, we were down by several baskets...

I wasn't ripping Liddell or anyone for that matter. I was more interested in comments about weather Leron would have developed better at OSU. Frankly, I'm skeptical that it would make any difference. For a long time I've questioned the statements by many who seem to think a player can develop...

I appreciate the commentary. Let me just pose a hypothetical: Would Leron Black have been better developed if he'd gone to OSU? Would he have been a First or Second Round selection on Draft Day or had a better opportunity to play in the NBA?

And BBV's injury was quite legit. Should've been reviewed.

Well the difference the way I saw it was that Hall fell down and started sucking his thumb, pouting that Hawk took his blanky away. And the Ref was right on it too. A fabulous no call. Oh btw, thanks for your service Arrow 7. I don't get weepy very often, except after a close Illini loss, but I...

I never thought I would never say this, but, thank you Hawkeyes. (It's not as hard to say thank you Hawkeyes as it is to say thank you I*w*!)

... and especially since they need it as bad as we do or worse.

You people writing the optimistic posts please continue. I want to say, "yes, that makes sense." But I'm among the rare breed of Illini fans that goes back before the years of Groce and Weber. Not to continually pick on those two, but there were the great Lou Henson years with those frustrating...

Are you kidding me? I'm just worried about what I'm going to tell Pruman if we only win by 19, seeing how I bet his Poppy Farm against the odds.

If you're giving Rutgers twenty points, I may come out of Gamblers Anonymous and bet Pruman's Poppy Farm.

How wonderful it is to read Illini Recruiting in the Recruiting Thread!!! Keep it up please.
