When I'm king the people who root for a football powerhouse's football team and a different basketball powerhouse's basketball team are first against the wall.

Oh you got a master's degree there? Your wife went there? You grew up in that state? Save it for St. Peter, pal.
Pet peeve of mine as well.

Wheel of Fortune is doing NFL shows this week, and a couple days ago they had a guy (non-New Englander) who chose the Patriots to follow during Brady's ascendancy, and was all pleased with himself for all the championships that followed. Don't break your arm, buddy.

Josh Schertz looks to have earned a promotion with his turnaround at Indiana State

Well, he did win a BT reg season title outright in 2021. Speaking of "lol."
This still bothers me. It does nothing to Michigan for the B1G office just says: "Due to unforeseen circumstances of a global pandemic, we will name Illinois and Michigan Co-B1G Champions. Michigan will get the 1 seed in the B1G Tournament since they have the highest winning percentage."

I doubt Michigan fans would have complained, they had nothing taken away. It's just a PR miss by a group of idiots that blew the football season not long before.

Since we got the banner to hang the next year, I'm pretty sure it brings me more joy to know that Michigan knows in their hearts that title is a total fraud.

Humiliating them at home without Ayo honestly might be my single favorite Illini game ever. God that was awesome.

They also complain that they would have won the BTT that season if Isaiah Livers had injured himself in the BTT v. Maryland. They're in denial about the reality of Illinois' BT superiority that season. Though they made to the Elite 8 that year so props.

thanks to zero leadership by Kevin Warren
let’s be honest , he was WAY MORE scared of Michigan and their fanbase than he was of us . the fact he ruled in their favor was no surprise

That’s probably true. The squeaky wheel gets the grease…and in this instance…the more 🦇 💩 crazy the better. I guess the moral of the story is we need to be a scarier fanbase. Or at least pretend to be? Lol

What do the Dragon Frosty emoji's mean? I guess that would be a crazy combination. The dragon would just melt the frosty!

ex NBA players in general do not succeed in college . Woodson is not really setting the world on fire at IU but at least he was an NBA head coach as well as player
I think Bryce Drew is a pretty good coach. Was good at Valpo and now Grand canyon even made the tournament at Vandy. Don't really think Vandy is set up to succeed and he had some bad injury luck there.

Penny hardaway is doing a decent job at Memphis. Fred Hoiberg is a very good college coach. Then you got bobby Hurley, Dan Majerle, Damon Stoudamire, Tony Bennett, and Hubert Davis all are/were solid to good.

Really just depends on the situation and the coach. It's also probably better if they get some experience as an asst first.

Oops. Did I use the wrong BAT emoji? It’s supposed to be 🦇 BAT + Sh*t Crazy. 🤪

I don’t think that’s a frosty emoji either… 🤢 🤮 yuck.

There have already been some talks ... They can't just get rid of DePaul though ...

There would have to be a 3rd team to join SLU and Dayton ... Rumors are that it is Gonzaga ...
Alright, that is ridiculous - Gonzaga in the Big East? 🤣🤣 I'm really ready for this whole thing to get reigned in and let's make some divisions, conferences, and the money make sense. I love professional sport, but college has something special. I feel like they have 1 shot left here to make it right.

Agreed with this.

Trent crossing over Chaundee Brown and hitting that 3 is probably my favorite shot that I can remember.

Gonzaga is very East. It's an obvious fit. At least they're Catholic. The conference needs to change it's name to the Big Catholic.

That's pretty high on my list, but I think 2004 Wake Forest still takes the cake. 2013 Indiana is also up there, as is 2005 Arizona (duh).
