Does anyone know if Plummer has 1 more year of eligibility or is he a 5th year senior?

Ho, ho, ho, my Paducah brother. Santa filled your stocking early! 🎅

My observation about the KenPom dispersion of BT teams as of 12/24: don't really care that the Gophers are #70 and Rutgers is #98. Neither of them (nor PSU, whom we avoid this year in State College) will be easy road wins, IMO. Never are. (Obvi, as Purdue learned to its dismay.)

And on a personal note, thanks to Dan for hosting us, and to all of my fellow Loyalty posters, for yet another year of great enjoyment and Illini bonding. Happy Holidays to all. Celebrate em' if you got em'!

ILL- !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A lot of stocking stuffing last night, but it's becoming the norm nowadays

I appreciate the structure. Sometimes things get unnecessarily personal.
That's true. Internet be how internet be.

Proper social discourse needs practiced. Deleting everything that offends someone is not a great method for a group in my opinion. People using the ignore feature is the way to go if there is a troll.

Proper social discourse does not occur behind the anonymity of the internet. There are too many keyboard warriors.

Just see Purdue as a tough matchup with Edey, Williams and Ivey. With Kofi out we are going to get killed at center. Foul problems with Kofi would be disastrous. DMW vs Ivey should be a great matchup. Ivey just reminds me of Ayo and that is not a great thing. 40% three point shooting is also not great for us.
Yup, the Boilers are a load at the 5 spot. Will need either BBV or Payne to have a career game..

When things go sideways, what gets lost is the subject originally discussed. After the first “punch” is thrown, it goes off the rails pretty quickly. Two pages of insults later, you forget what you were talking about.

That is , or was , an apt description of the News-Gazette board , a.k.a. "'[ The cesspool ""..... I never posted there but read it off and on for a long time and it was a no-holds-barred-no-moderation board............................I think it has vanished now...................

I appreciate Dan 's moderation here.......It's his site , so it's his ballgame ....nuff said .....................i guess to have a board moderated in a way you completely agree with would basically require you to start one yourself......Opinion's are great............................But you will never get 100 % agreement on anything on an internet sports message board ......Not gonna happen...................................JMHO

And there are plenty of places to “discuss” coronavirus. Doesn’t need to happen on an Illini sports forum. There are enough opportunities for discourse and disagreements with topics that everyone is seemingly coming at from the same place — Illini fans. I for one greatly appreciate the job Dan does here. Overall he seems to have a fairly light hand.

I’m not a Warriors fan per se, but I hate using Steph and Klay’s nickname — especially given that they are still active (assuming Klay makes it back). As many Illini fans as there are in the world, no one can come up with an original nickname? Kind of disappointing.
Krush Brothers? I close my eyes and see the NIL T-shirts...

I certainly enjoy the chat and takes on this board.
Regardless of our differences of opinion, we all share a common bond in our passion and love for our Illini.
We all have much to be thankful for, inclusive of a top notch program - built with integrity, and one to be proud of.
Independent of our varying takes, I sincerely appreciate my fellow Illini faithful.
Wishing you all a safe, happy, and healthy holiday season.
It’s Christmas for me and mine, and wishing a joyous holiday for whatever you and yours celebrate.
Looking forward to what 2022 has in store for the Orange & Blue.

They should call one of them "Gunny Bucketts" but most youngins dont know anything about Tom Berenger.
