    Illinois Football Uniforms

    Is it a marketing/branding no-no to have 3 different logos on 3 different helmets? I like the arched ILLINI on the orange, script ILLINOIS on the white, and an orange BLOCK I on the blue.

    All the Illini message boards soiled their trousers with joy over Garrick McGee. Resumes can be misleading in both directions. I-L-L.

    Pregame: Illinois at Wisconsin, Friday, October 23rd, 7:00pm CT, BTN

    This take is the exact reason why it's necessary. Can't run from it forever.

    Game Thread: Illinois vs Nebraska

    I know this horse is dead, but i still can't believe the staff couldn't find a way to get Tevian engaged enough to earn a role in this rotation. His skillset would help tremendously.

    Brad Underwood Intro Press Conference

    this is not the venue for hard-hitting questions 1) All they're looking for is quotes on subjects he didn't cover in his statement 2) It doesn't behoove any reporter to press a coach day 1

    The new basketball uniforms

    also, while our current jerseys are not good. I'd like to wait until after the spaghetti-strap fad that nike is going through runs its course.

    The new basketball uniforms

    I've seen that pattern on stock Nike shorts in different colorways. Groce & Co may have chosen that design from a Nike booklet for that purpose, but the design was not created for the Illini.

    Bryce Drew knows the game. He'd kill it here. If you think that'd be a bad hire, I've got nothing for you.

    Correct. Coaching searches don't happen in a vacuum. Fun to pretend they do, though. Much less scary.:shield:

    I'd be very satisfied with Kevin Keatts. Would just like to know we struck out with the premiere guys before Whitman announces him.

    I was with you until Marshall. Pretty reasonable home-run scenario that he ends up here.
