    Man the bears fans really loud on the big plays. At least surprising me for seattle. Showing up big on the road this year.

    Was wondering if part of it is a product of playing at such a high tempo. I think at least 5 of those were 2nd half

    Yeah very wide range of possibilities based on damage. I know today they are more careful about these things, but we had a guy who's shoulder was reduced on the field and was back in the 2nd half in a high school game. Hoping no surgery is needed and hes back before January

    Saw a clippers fan comment that said.....he doesn't look like he attempting to actually draw fouls. It appears people just like smacking him every time he drives.

    Well KW came into the game and was immediately responsible for 11 points in 3 minutes. 2 points and 4 assists.

    Illinois vs Nebraska, Friday, November 6th, 7:00pm CT, FOX

    Took me too long when I started betting, but without even looking at stats if you look a line that looks too juicy to stay away from, bet against what you want to bet and you will win most of the time. So just judged on that logic looking like an uphill battle on this game for the illini.

    Yeah winning a national championship takes more than skill to win for an individual year. Over the course of a few decades the most skilled teams will have it all align and win a championship, hopefully more than once. Each individual season requires a lot of things to go your way. Its why you...

    From what we have seen with him and our teams weaknesses so far, you could have this weird situation where he gets more time against the best teams due to elite guards especially if vaaks struggles defensively.

    2026-2027 Season Predictions Thread

    Heavy overlap for me with this total picture. Something won't go right so ill pick mirk never gets back to full strength but vaaks ends up first team. We get surprise contributions from JJ and and he bridges 85% of the gap of mirk down low but we make up for it in other areas. Back to back FF...

    Awesome. Feels like we have more injured rotation guys than not.

    I dont disagree. However its quite possible those same kids would be grabbing the 8 figure contracts in the lottery the same year so you might be getting a guy on a big discount to his pro value.

    Yup. Twolves actually looking pretty good so far. Much more cohesive.

    With multiple key people out last game who are getting the minutes he would have been using at end of last season, you would have thought he would have more playing time. I thought he looked sharp preaseason but assuming no other issues like a trade or small injury he appears to be dead last in...

    Illinois 21, Oregon 10 Postgame

    It kind of shows you the outside perception of what our program is. I know we technically didnt fire our DC, but same thing with our change this year after Purdue. You can ignore problems for a bit until certain losses remove any questions of your issues.
