I live in O'fallon, IL. Coleman went to school. Saw some games and the kid is a baller. I think he will be ready to help the team.

When it’s all said and done, it’s pretty simple. You have to put the ball in the basket. Great athletes but sometimes bad shooters . Love the team.

I was honored to take my mom and dad to the final four in Seattle in 1988 to see the flying Illini. We didn’t win, but my dad was diagnosed with ALS soon after and it was the last trip he took. He’s smiling right now, and I’m smiling right now.

Why did the post change from talking Illinois basketball, and then talking about Shaka? This crap happens all the time. It’s like some of you are bipolar or OCD.

The only stat that matters is if you win the game

End game coaching seems to be our problem. Why wasn’t someone put on the in bonds player, and maybe have 2 players back. One at the foul line and one closer to the basket. I guess we’re due to win one at the end.

Funny how everyone forgets about Laughery. Had the most yards per carry 5.1, longest run 57 yards, and gained 382 yards in only 9 games. He's the best one of the group IMO.

The only punt was when the receiver dropped a wide open pass.

The OC play calling needs to adjust to the pressure our QB is under most of the time. Also. My wife calls up the middle for no gain on first down most of the time, and she would be right 70-80% of the time. Brady lasted so long in the NFL because he threw quick short passes and the players would...

Henry said we missed 20 tackles in the game. Do we have to start teaching college football players how to tackle? Maybe they weren't as good of players as the opponent. How can the Indiana football coach have that many quality players in such a short period of time? I know about the portal, but...

2008 Rose Bowl. I was there.

Oops. Feeling Blue. Old man syndrome here!

I think they'll be seeing Blue by the end of the day.

I travel 170 miles one-way, but always get hotel rooms months in advance. I'm on my 18th year of season tickets, and my dad had season tickets for 37 years. Two things come to mind. I've watched a lot of Illinois football, and I'm getting old. LOL

Great to have you with the O and B. Go Illini
