Lots of talk in this thread about engineering and math. Well I was a finance / economics guy. And that statuette is a terrific leading indicator for positive imagery ahead.
kudos bro...........the realization of future illusions that will trigger the endorphins in your mind and relay positive energy into a believer's soul makes life worth living, especially on a wonderous day of our beloved's participation into another opportunity , as BB say's in the FB realm..........A chance to gather around the fireplace , the kitchen table or whatever suitable area we each feel as that comfortable surrounding and unite in the excitement of living the moment of Illini MBB , WBB or FB competition's against inferior opponents trying to steal our happy happy joy joy ..............

NEVER ........I SAY NEVER , will we go away in defeat without giving our all cheering , booing , cussing and making rather uncharacteristic posts that slip out due to the nature of our love of all thing's Illini...................Another episode of hopeful feeling's before the fact , leading up to a somewhat buzzing frenzy based on everyone's personality and dreams.........

Pondering sets my mind in a peaceful space............great visuals of my main wandering's that keep me on a calm but elevated level as game time approaches............

I went to my doctor yesterday for my 3 month checkup and I related to her my disappointment in not losing the weight that 2 years of steriod 's has heaped on my meagher frame...........As most of you know I am taking Tramadol , a synthetic opiod every 6 hours for what is now diagnosed as rhumatoid arthritis........To help with my desired weight loss goal she has scripted Phenterine , another controlled substance .........Today is my first day of a 30 day clinical trial and will go back to see her in 30 days........
why do i say all this ???,,,,,

# 1.................I feel great..................more energy........mind is expanding b/c of my relaxed state of mind
# 2..................the realization of future illusions that will trigger the endorphins in your mind and relay positive energy into a believer's soul makes life worth living, ......sound familar ??? ......It's correlated to my first sentence in this post ......everything ties in one to another if the mind , heart and soul are in a relaxed state of calmness with the approaching game tonight as the future illusion triggering compared to our most favorite pondering subject matter..........A loop of thoughts , senses etc that elevates our excitement for another great win by the Fighting Illini.......Only thing for me to make it better would be being there at SFC cheering along with Illini Nation , acting like the little child in all of us ........Of course we would be respectful of others or at least give it the old college try.............................

Well . there you go , I'm meandering all over the page and try as i might , it seems the little child inside of me likes coming out more and more the older I get............what little maturity I have acquired in my 71 years on earth pails in comparison to my out of body , out of mind love of the beloved............It's just how I roll .........it really really is..........................

I was terrified to play in Lincoln, mainly because of these two recent scares:

2022: W 81-71 at Nebraska (tied with 3:57 to go)
2021: W 77-72 at Nebraska in overtime

But man ... this year in Lincoln, once we turned it on, we simply outclassed them. If we bring the same effort that we have (mostly) seen lately, we should win this one by double digits and keep the momentum/confidence going into Iowa City. We CANNOT slip up here ... one of only two opportunities left for a resume-busting loss.

Illinois 74
Nebraska 61 (after a made three pointer at the buzzer)

Aw. And we were having so much fun talking true mean. :(
In the Recruiting thread there is a lot of discussion of when poster's graduated; so we could get a pretty good sample mean there to estimate the true mean of Loyalty members age ;)

Anyway, on to a B1G victory tonight!

That 3 pointer at the buzzer would be significant to some folks... ;)

And KP has it 73-61 in a 68 possession game so you're right there with the analytics.

A chance to gather around the fireplace , the kitchen table or whatever suitable area we each feel as that comfortable surrounding and unite in the excitement of living the moment of Illini MBB , WBB or FB competition's against inferior opponents trying to steal our happy happy joy joy

That is the basic principle behind Quantum Entanglement:

When two or more objects (like People) have been in close proximity to each other... they remain in constant and immediate contact and connection even if separated by billions of miles.

In other words, that is the classic definition of Illini Nation. Close to each other and brought together anywhere in Time and Place by devotion to all things Orange Illinois Ball... together forever anywhere in the Universe and united in purpose.

(Sorry, couldn’t just let the all Math Majors have all the fun today. Had to bring in some cutting edge-quantum stuff).

Not only are Illini Nation the best roundball fans in the World... we are also the smartest.

And tonight, let us feast upon some Creamed Corn. With a side of happy joy joy.

It will be interesting to see what hoi-hoi has cooked up for us tonight.
From Bardo interview of Hoiberg: starting 3 freshman and a guy named Hoiberg tonight?

I'm calling a close to 30 point blowout.
