Cory Bradford. :(

The IlliniHQ board was the most toxic forum I have ever witnessed, in hindsight I'm shocked the News-Gazette allowed that.

Not ready to say goodbye to this team. Let's prolong the magic!

I am in need of a Xanax but you have to be proud of the way we’ve played!

I've had an ever-growing knot in my stomach the last few hours as work winds down. I expect it to get worse throughout the evening. But after 19 knotless years, I appreciate it! (A Macallan or two will also help.)

Now I'm irrationally mad at Paul Klee.

WKU on a helluva run.

I saw in the postgame Reddit thread that Spradlin is rumored for the SIU job. Yes please make that happen!

Surely 3rd team AA/First Team AB1G is enough for the rafters, no?

The 4 seed the year before was also a perceived slap in the face. I remember on Selection Sunday Clark Kellogg predicted the protected seeds and he had us as a 2 seed.

In the context of today's world it is pretty baffling that Turner didn't get poached (whether for the NFL or a better college gig) after the 2001 season.

Wow, I remember reading that edition of the NG as a kid! IIRC one of the photos was of Dee rising up for a dunk during practice warm-ups and that's how I learned he had the capability lol.

I understand that the logistics of a major football game require more advance planning than basketball, but it is insane to me that these OOC games should be scheduled nearly a decade out. We'd definitely have a couple more bowls under our belt if we could be more reasonably sure our opponents...

Seeing Abrams hit me in the gut a little. Talk about a guy who went through it as an Illini. Glad he seems to be doing well. Also, does anyone know where I can get one of those orange and blue Bulls snapbacks 👀

Obviously the higher the better, but I really want to see the first 3 seed of my lifetime.
