    Not really...Parrish spoke out strongly in a very judgmental way in podcasts and tweets. People even tried to share some of the story with him, but he wasn't open to it. He was firmly dug in with his position. In his little summary, he might say "Marcus Domask scored 14 pts and had 6 rebounds...

    But his descriptions of the games weren't even close to reality. It was so obvious what he was doing...Of course, I had heard him rant on his podcast - and tweet negative things about Brad Underwood for playing him, etc. He ranked us out of the top 25 at least once, and had us around 18 or 19...

    Same here, he was a total A-Hole. On his Top 25 and 1 rankings, he would consistently rank us much lower than the AP or the Coaches. He would never even mention TJ's play no matter how stellar it was. He deliberately snubbed us, and specifically TJ. By the end of the season, I despised him.

    I thought it was MSU that the Christie family doesn't like, they don't like us either?

    They recently changed that rule, grad transfers now also have to enter portal by May 1st. Could that rule be challenged? Yes, and quite possibly the NCAA would lose since they have lost most of these challenges recently.

    I always thought that Ace Moore (who taught History of Sport) was the most popular professor. That was easily my favorite class of all time.

    The game was during Christmas break, so I wasn't in Champaign. My Dad and I were planning to drive over for the game, but a blizzard kept us from making the trip from Olney, IL. I always regretted missing that game. Eddie was one of our all-time great players.

    But then Steve Lanter blew out his knee, and that was pretty much the end of the story...My husband went to MSU, so I always remind him that we beat Magic's team the year they won it all against Larry Bird's Indiana State team. Sadly, he always responds with something like "Remind me again, how...

    Interesting...He did seem intelligent. He came to my apartment once at Lando Place, and I just remember how unbelievably tall he was...I guess he was "only" 6' 11.

    I was all excited when I saw there was so many new posts...Something big must be happening. Unfortunately, most of the new posts were about Derek Holcomb. Geez, people! We have serious business here, filling our roster and we're posting about somebody I actually knew in college. If only he...

    Terrence Shannon Jr. named Big Ten Player of the Week

    I'm not an attorney (as somebody once stated on this site) but I'm sure TSJ's have advised him against doing any interviews. And as much as we would like to see him talk to the press, especially after a great performance, I'm sure this is the right decision. His play has been doing all the...
