Not trying to convince anyone, but my Fandom starts with Illinois, and basically radiates outward geographically through the traditional Big10. I understand the contrary view where people feel like we're competing for limited resources- in some sense with recruits, we are, or at least, we were-...

Is it weird that this meme was exactly how I mentally conceptualized this news upon first reading? And that I knew if I just scrolled far enough I would see it? The simulation is running out of new material, but also, I can't think of a better way to express this turn of events. Thanks Biglug...

This is so oddly disturbing- I love it

Gosh darn do I love Underwood. Does anyone else hear Matt Foley in the mic'd huddle?

Refs went hard in the paint down the stretch- tip of the hat to them. We just went harder.
