Gack. This streak MUST end.

There’s no way any other fanbase is this obsessed with jerseys

Oregon fans…

 

[RML]

I'll play. Barbed wire. (yeeks)

I see Illini off to another slow start. Someone on Minnesota will have a career game but Keaton and Mirk carry the Illini to another Big win. 88-78

When you say another slow start, what do you mean?

Over our past 6 games:

- Led Missouri by 16 at half
- Led Southern by 21 at half
- Led Penn St by 14 at half
- Led Rutgers by 27 at half
- Led Iowa by 11 at half
- Led Northwestern by 5 at half

I may not even notice if it weren't discussed here. I imagine it has something to do with artistic personality traits vs. the opposite.

Anyone else just not care at all what jersey we wear? It’s fascinating to me how much it gets discussed around here.

I really don't care about uniforms either. Here's a little proof home whites are OK

Ummm, it’s like the third most important thing here? Behind Bryce Hopkins recruitment and Morez Johnson?

Slightly ahead of Gies Memorial Stadium horseshoe, Brad Underwood coaching ability, and winning.

Man is your posting history something. Your reaction to our 35pt win over Southern was quite the banger .

Guys, he's declared our season as good as finished if we land a 4 seed.

Either Jess Settles is a huge human being, giant like, or Medved is really small. Wow. lol

[aaeismacgychel]

Not a good first possession for Andrej...

 

[FloridaMan]

Not a great way to get the crowd involved early. Wake the f up!!! AS needs to start playing....soon.

 

[JKR]

Lol

 

[Indy Illini Fan]

NOT … MENTALLY … READY …

 

[SuperMetroid]

Great start

 

[illinifreak30]

Just about to start that I expected with an 11 AM start time

 

[aaeismacgychel]

Yeahhhhhhhhh.... That's a good timeout 1 minute in. We look like we're asleep right now. Gotta wake up. Minnesota coming out firing

 

[BoiseBaller]

Dreaded 11am sleepy start. Both ends.

 

[TheodoreRex]

0 energy/focus to start. Wake up

Still time to turn it around but this start looks like we’re flat.
