Silence??? The whining and 'woe is me!' declarations are deafening...
Do you seriously believe the interaction taking place on these boards is anything close to what it was when Groce took over? The apathy on here is far louder than the voice of discontent. Like I said, I don't have the stats in front of me (plea #2 for Dan to share some stats on this topic), but I can't imagine engagement with this board is close to where it was after year #1 under Groce.
And the real fans need to chill and see what the team looks like in the fall when practice begins.
There is no more than 1% of fans left. If you are taking time, daily, in June of 2018 to contribute an opinion on Illinois athletics, congrats. Positive, negative or neutral, you are a diehard fan. It feels like even the % of "troll" posts have greatly declined recently. Not worth trying to rile up a fanbase that doesn't care.
Illinois' basketball roster for the 2018-2019 season is likely the worst we have seen in many fan's lifetimes. That is unbelievably difficult to swallow regardless of future expectations. Add in the fact there are minimal reasons for optimism after this season and well... being irrelevant is worse than being disgusted. Being both is where we are right now.
