[QUOTE="STL Illini, post: 1693212, member: 748148"] I don’t get where Illini fans think Bardo is anti Illinois basketball. That take is ridiculous. Bardo was a 4 year player and rock solid as a member of the Flying Illini. Comes from a wonderful family. If memory serves correctly (perhaps not too well at my age) his parents are professors..?? If find him to be intelligent and articulate - while maintaining professional integrity regarding his perspectives and coverage of ALL teams, independent of his alma mater. Perhaps Illini fans prefer him to be a total “homer”, but he wouldn’t have much of a career or respect if that were the case. I enjoy Bardo’s commentary. As a side note, I also find R. Hummel to be quite good also - even as a Purdue grad. Dan Dakich, on the other hand, is in my opinion a self deprecating blow hard who thinks he’s something he’s not. Makes sense since he comes from the Bob Knight School of D-bags. [/QUOTE]
