So. Drej.

The kids in Krush, like kids at every college in the country, replaced drinking beers with popping anti-depressants. The end. Saved you three pages.

I feel like the ways Skyy and Morez left the program didn’t leave much of any daylight for a redemption arc. Miller, on the other hand..

Beyond just the IG stuff seeing a bunch of other smoke from the usual corners of Illini Twitter on Morez potentially backing off Michigan.

I’m asking this earnestly as I’d love for it to be remotely plausible - and I’ll even add that I of course understand why JW would make that call, as it’d be a beyond incredible hire to make in the event it could be made - What can we offer Oats that Alabama doesn’t already?

If this stuff on Humrichous is true I’d love to know what Brad and/or Tyler earnestly *believe* they’re seeing that everyone else watching every game in which he plays is missing. It just doesn’t jive with the alleged narratives that Morez and others have offered on their way out the door “I...

So is it one of those where he wants to see what else gets put on the table but ultimately there’s a decent chance he’s back or is he gone-gone?

Shooting the shot here - anybody know the Illini sections at Fiserv for Sunday if we win tonight? Ticket rep advised me they will in fact change from the 118 & 223 that are confirmed for tonight, but he didn't know what they'd change to, which I found bizarre. Any idea?

Surely someone must know what section(s) we’re in at Fiserv by now?

Lived there for 2 years, will be back for the game Friday. More than happy to answer any questions anybody has about the city. If/when anyone gets word on Illini section(s) at Fiserv for Friday night please advise.

In 1999 we opposed something named Billy Cockerham of the Minnesota Golden Gophers in week 7, who trounced us at the Metrodome 37-7. The following week, 25 years ago this coming Wednesday, the Illini went into Ann Arbor and defeated senior year Tom Brady, 35-29.

The emotional gatekeeping in here is absolutely hilarious to watch sometimes. Pretending that most of the fanbase won't totally reasonably look at Hawkins exactly the same way - namely, this illustriously loyal program legend - if he finishes his collegiate career elsewhere is laugh out loud...

Took all of three whole days to get from we’re working on visas and “money isn’t an issue” to “this asking price is outrageous! (for us though not for another team trying to win a championship that’ll go ahead and pay it)”.

I never for one second believed Hawkins was settling for a maybe 2nd round maybe not at all 2024 draft ticket and I do not for one second now believe he'll legitimately consider playing anywhere else next year. This to me is a straight "squeeze every NIL dollar possible" play - as he should -...
