    RJ, wonderful story. If that big ol' Ford truck is similar to the way that GM played, that truck is rugged as hell and doesn't go in reverse.;)

    Holy Coleman Hawkins! Looks like a Stretch-4 to me. Great length, along with a likely love for the game.

    More than three (3) decades ago, when I was working on the Disney lot in Burbank, as I was walking on the back lot toward the executive offices, about 200 yards away, I spotted a woman and I was instantly transfixed, in a trance, despite the distance, a feeling I'd never, ever felt before. As...

    Wow, that's either a tiny tiger or a really big kid.

    Illini in the Pros

    LOL, it must be Bruno Time. On ESPN, back on Draft Night 2014, former coach and commentator Fran Fraschilla hilariously stated that he believes Bruno Caboclo, picked at #20, is "2 Years Away from Being 2 Years Away." Go Kofi.

    illini0440, you seem to be writing of Illini Nance in the past tense. Has the Nance Illini plan evaporated? Or is it alive? Or is it even stronger with the great coup of getting Mayer and creating a potentially great team? As the saying goes, TY for your service!

    2022 Chicago White Sox

    Miles, Thank you for your intelligent ardency. As a Sox fan since 1966, I too mostly suffer for my fandom. So, when is Bummer going to return to the Bummer of 2019 or 2020? And, when can the majority of our batting order be above the Mendoza (.200) line? My goodness, it's Cinco de Mayo! I...

    Illinois Hoops Recruiting Thread (September 2016)

    I totally agree...To me, "havoc" is more than just a defensive philosophy. Havoc is trying to control the game and assert his team's will; it favors a certain type of athlete (long, lean, springy, aggressive); and havoc leans toward needing (and getting) a deeper team. And, wow, it looks like...

    North Carolina Academic Fraud Investigation

    Either way, if anyone really thinks about it (and so few really do, IMO), Roy Williams should be figuratively pilloried...What's worse: Lying--Knowing of the scandal (taking many ludicrous classes to stay eligible) and not caring that his players are not receiving worthy educations, or Not...
