Ah, that video. Right in the feels.

It was a nice touch of the person editing the video to include a shot of Tracy when the lyrics said something to the effect of "I fell down twice / got up both times."

Early arriving at State Farm Center for #Illini vs. Michigan State. There's an orange pompon on every seat all the way to the roof. #dechr

I really, really wish I lived closer so I could be at SFC tonight. Should be electric to start.

I-L-L!

Would be nice if the Senior ceremonies were being streamed...couldn't find it on BTN2Go or fightingillini.com

730 CT on btn2go

 

[CARPET]

I really am praying for a Illini win tonight.

Beating IZZO this time of the year is always tough. If Illinois stays out of foul trouble and somehow puts State in foul trouble they will cover the 1.5 point spread.

Anything absent of that our chances of winning drop to 20%.

Let's win this game

The lyric "I fell twice before, my bounce back was special" played right as Tracy Abrams was being shown I might have just shamelessly teared up a bit

If the refs let Ward go over the top to rebound we will have a lot of trouble

Illinois gives up 2 offensive boards in the first 2:30.

We cannot give up this many 2nd chance opportunities

 

[Ulysses Everett McGill]

News flash: they like to push it

Illinois gives up 2 offensive boards in the first 2:30.
