    Illinois Football Recruiting Thread

    I'm not basing this off one transfer, but put me in the @ChiefGritty camp of this - portal world - being the death of major college athletics (I'm pretty sure that's been his viewpoint, apologies if I have that wrong). There needs to be some absolutely massive changes put in place, like...

    Illinois Hoops Recruiting Thread

    Not terribly upset about that. Saw enough of Aidoo last year... He drove me crazy as a mostly uninterested observer. Half our fan base would need to be checked into an institution if they watched him for the whole season.

    Was going to say something similar. I can see Hurley concocting narratives in his head that in order to be truly revered he needs to show he can do what he's done at multiple stops.

    From a couple of people that I know that have had first hand interaction with Cal they've both claimed he is actually a real dude, genuine. Not the a-hole that he seemingly gives off at all.

    I'm not going to claim I have a pulse on the Kentucky fan base. But being around them... I feel like a sizeable portion would absolutely hate that hire.

    Game Thread: Illinois vs UConn

    28 - 0. UCONN is really good, great even, but this is not the same Illinois team that has played 30 some odd other games this year.

    I said I would bust it out if we were playing tonight. I'd be just fine if they decide to force me into the Pappy next Saturday...

    Illinois 72, Iowa State 69 Postgame

    It's 1AM and I'm still going to need some supplement(s) to fall asleep within the next 30-60 minutes. Absolutely incredible effort. That is the game that Iowa State wanted (or at least closer to what they wanted than what we wanted), while Shannon was really good - again - he was hampered with...
