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.
The Brothers Cash?

Gosh, isn't that the truth?

This is why I use my real name and location in my profile.

Anonymity is the enemy of integrity.

I'm trying to do my part to stay to my values though. Shutting down discourse in its entirety is a dangerous precedent, IMO.
That's called censorship and I agree it's dangerous to our freedoms and values ........................Shutting down discourse about the covid pandemic on a sports message board , even in it's chat room , falls way short of censorship or being a dangerous precedent............JMHO

Fair enough. This still seems like a bit of a public square to me. But I'm always interested in some civil discourse, wherever I am.

Agree to disagree.

Can see roles being defined for next year.
Podz - TrentII
RJ - JacobII
Luke - DMWII
Belo -Belo
Hawk - Hawk+
Epps - Dre F II
Undefined: Harris, Rodgers, Dain, Omar, BBV, Brandon
? - Kofi
Offense going to be different next year without Kofi. True even with a great substitute because it won’t be a replacement.

I like Cash Brothers, as it is a play off the well known Splash Brothers and Trent's "cash" T.

I also like the previously mentioned Bomb Squad.
How about Threeific?

Well done. Rodgers looks like he can also fill the DMW role on the defensive end and I’m hoping Harris could step up to help fill Trent’s role.

I hope everyone on here is having a Merry Christmas. And I am wishing our awesome team a very Merry Christmas (especially Curbelo) GO ILLINI!!!

If we were a Texas school, I'd say this is the one.

Of course it doesn't hurt that I freaking love ZZ Top (rest in peace, dusty).

It seems at this point that we have four players that will be strong candidates for one of the all-conference teams. Trent, Alph, Jacob, and Kofi all strong cases at this point. The fifth player in DMW or Hawk also damn good. Just can’t help thinking how great this team would be if it included Liddell. Know he likes OSU but wonder if he also thinks about the possibilities if he had chosen UI. National Championship would certainly have been a possibility.

Why does any thread in the chat need moderated? Just wondering.

I'm part of many boards. This is by far the most moderated board I've been a part of. It has its advantages, of course. But the Chat forum seems like a good one to just let be and see what happens.

Just some thoughts. Hopefully that's allowed.
A common occurrence has been when a Chat thread becomes especially lively, the discussion manages to almost always find its way back to the sports forums. This was the case from time-to-time in 2020 when there was an actice pandemic thread. So for now I'd prefer that the lively & heated discussions on this board focus on the glory & heartbreak of Illini athletics 👍 Go Illini

I remember when there was no interwebs.....And no ESPN TV ...............I had to run to the store to pick up a St. Louis Post Dispatch newspaper to see who drafted who in the NFL Draft.....Back in my days it was 1000 rounds of picking and choosing ....I would get my paper and go down to my van down by the river and see who the St. Louis Cardinals picked and what position they played ......

How about the "Twine Trio"
Now I'm thinking about famous trios, to see if there's one whose name either fits with three pointers, or can be tweaked to do so. Haven't found it yet, but do kinda like the idea of Snap, Crackle, and Pop.
