It also helps that the bowl win was against a very high quality opponent in South Carolina, who many felt deserved to be in the CFP.

I wouldn’t mind having a guy who is a two time JuCo AA who had 2 50+ pt games and averaged 33.6 per game and then came to Cal State in DI and reset every scoring record they had basically, including single game and season long scoring records as an instant offense guy off the bench. And I agree...

I’ve always felt Illinois was snake bitten when it comes to winning a national title. And after seeing Florida win another one, it really had me thinking. Then to see this list and Illinois is the only one on this list without a title makes it even worse. I dont care that OSU came in the 60’s or...

Apologies if someone asked this already, but isnt Jakstys missing from this list? Its hard to keep up in these threads for casual readers, haha! Update: saw @soupy17 list. Thank you!

He is definitely NOT calling the game neutral. He’s a Mizzou grad and it shows. Feel like I am watching Mizzou’s home broadcast.

Right. Not that I dont like the commitment, but I also liked the Fears and Butler commitment. Which is to say, isnt this the exact type of recruit we got a commitment from only to recruit over them in the portal and watch them leave. Which is to say the same type of upside recruit Chester was...

I thought the same thing when I went thru that picture. There’s Riley. There’s Ty, there’s…Morez? Damn, he’s a big dude.

I know you said #1, but who can forget Darko? It wasnt just he was a bust, it was that he went #2 in one of the greatest and deepest drafts of all time. Lebron, Melo, DWade, Bosh just to name a few. And Darko went before all of them except Lebron; the 2nd best player to ever play the game

Agreed wholeheartedly. No one can convince me that Kansas and Illinois were out there for an “exhibition” game. Both teams clearly were playing to win.

Rumor out there NYK looking to acquire KAT. That would free up minutes for someone...

My memory is terrible, so I could be way off here. But Etienne committed to UCLA unexpectedly in the midseason and we didnt have a scholarship open and I think the next season was when we started hearing all the “Brad wants to leave one open” talk because you never know when someone might be...

I would love to see my Cougars pull an upset…

I hate coulda would shouldas…but now I hate the ending to the Penn State game even more.

The best “Catch-22” of a starting lineup I’ve ever seen at Illinois. If player A starts, then player B will be on the bench, but player B wouldnt be coming here if he wasn’t starting, but if player B starts, then player A will be on the bench, but player A wouldnt be coming here if he wasn’t...
