    Great season for sure. Losing all composure on that type of historic level was very surprising and extremely dispiriting. Shannon just didn’t show today for whatever reason, but I’m eternally gratefully for his incredible Illini career. Going forward, we really need a post defense that...

    Illinois 87, Nebraska 84 OT Postgame

    Looked frankly pretty awful and extremely tentative after up 10. Would have liked to see TSJ take it to the hoop, but he looked tentative too. Getting the W is everything for now for sure, so got to be very happy @ that - but we sure do need to be a whole lot better come March.

    Got outsmarted by Fleck. He left O out there and BB feared they’d go for it. Silly. Need to take that TO right there

    Still haven’t figured out how to get a frickin half yard. Ever. The whole season. This program relentlessly punishes anyone that is foolish enough to follow it (like me)

    Garbage product. Can’t even get decent snaps from center. Embarrassing. Absolutely embarrassing.

    Kansas 34, Illinois 23 Postgame

    Looks like we have our QB which is huge, but disappointed in our O line and our backs. Still like our receivers though not great today. OTOH, our D is so bad that I’ve already seen an enough to be convinced we need a new DC -and that won’t happen until after this year at best. Really hope the...

    Arkansas 73, Illinois 63 Postgame

    Next year becomes a big one for Brad and our program. Brad has proven he is a fantastic recruiter every year, and I continue to be very bullish on him. In a transition year with 2 senior portals and a bunch of frosh this year can be explained. That said, some nagging questions continue that he...

    Pregame: Illinois vs Arkansas, Thursday, March 16th, 3:30pm CT, TBS

    For me it’s all house $ for this team. If we just get blown out on Thurs is that anything we haven’t already seen a # of times this year? Can we realistically be expecting a run out of this team? OTOH, we have been given the oppty to surprise some big names if we catch fire….
