Game Thread: Illinois at Michigan

[RML]

Ok, michigan has scored 38 all game and is down 28 with less than 8 minutes to go. Me like our chances.

 

[hoopsfan47]

You have seen Michigan. But.... 28 points.

My grade school team could take over and hold them off. That was 62 years ago.

 

[Optimo]

This game is over.

Why

 

[Deleted member 747903]

Trent has been a revelation getting to the hole. If he can do that when Ayo comes back we are at a different level

 

[illiniu]

I think Michigan's weaknesses have been been exposed. Phony, baloney!

 

[Calvin]

Unreal effort by Illinois. Dream game!

I’m drinking and I’m still nervous too. Drinking a lot.

Slow down. You want to remember this.

 

[chrisRunner7]

Slow down. You want to remember this.

Lol

27 pages in the game day thread! Illini basketball is back!

Struggling to think of an Illini road win against a top five BT team that was this... er.... obiterationalistic.

I recall stomping Sparty at home by like 30-some when Self was around. But on the road. And the #2 team? BU and the boys are in some fine company.

 

[Retro62]

I will amend my previous statement: Why am I nervous we won’t win by 30?

 

[LJ22]

Remember when Michigan got in a plane crash and didn't even have uniforms and then beat us?

This is so much better than that.

 

[logjam]

I wanna beat'em by 40.

I want tragic remembrance of this beat down to whisper in the branches of the trees of Ann Arbor every time the wind blows from henceforth.

Shouldn't have ducked us on the 11th.

 

[Highlander]

This game is going to send out some shock waves.

 

[hoopsfan47]

My two favorite events in college sports:
1) Big wins for Illini hoops
2) Embarrassing losses for Michigan

Tonight, we drink!

Could not agree more.

 

[altgeld88]

I wanna beat'em by 40.

I want tragic remembrance of this beat down to whisper in the branches of the trees of Ann Arbor every time the wind blows from henceforth.

I'm waiting for the part about savoring the lamentations of their women.

 

[CentralILifer]

Why

It just is. I bet you there has never been a comeback with this much time left.

(I don't believe in jinxes)

 

[LostinNebraska]

I am not drinking yet because I have to work out still... But once that's over, it's rewatch and booze!

 

[Deleted member 747802]

Giorgi really gets hosed by the refs on a consistent basis.

He and Kofi lead the world in that category

 

[freebird6]

Got to keep hitting shots. Helps to get under the coach's skin Wheels come off.

 

[Mr. Roberts]

I like the arm link.

 

[purcy51]

Who was it that had the Wake Forest vibe?

That would be me. And I still have it.

 

[CubsIlliniFan]

[azillini1]

Kofi with 4 on the bench.

 

[LostinNebraska]

The end of the wisconsin game should be a good lesson for how to close this one out. Keep the clamps on all 40 minutes. Play under control.
