[QUOTE="EyeoftheIllini, post: 1807920, member: 623415"] That is pretty much par for the course for game threads. That and refs are terrible. After reading a game thread, you’ll be pretty certain that refs call every infraction Illini make and some they don’t make while other team gets away with murder on every play. I think some of my favorite “hot takes” early in the game were: back to the Illini of old; well, we really handed them the game here; Sydney Brown doesn’t have his head in game; and, my favorite, team needs to stop reading its own press clippings. It’s tough to win in the BIG. And it’s not like this team is chock full of uber-athletic 5* and high 4* players. That’s not a knock on our players. What they do have are guys who have worked hard to develop their talent and put those talents on display while playing hard. That doesn’t mean every play, series or quarter is going to be perfect. What I really like about the game threads is that there are a fair amount of posters who feel the need to post pretty much negative posts during the moments of bad play, and post very little otherwise — including in the game threads when good things happen.
