This has truly been a taxing season on the players and coaching staff........We had lofty expectations before Kofi got the 3 game suspension.....Then the Belo injury and all the time he has missed ......Trent getting hurt........Now the Kofi concussion and Belo now with covid .........
The culture of this years Illini is never give up no matter what trauma we must face........ ( the Cincy game notwithstanding )
The game tonight is worth it's weight in gold , no matter how much of the lead we gave up......A win is a win is a win..........
Every day guys is such a great adjective for this Illini program from BU all the way down to the managers and everyone else involved with the program....This is the first time I have been able to smile for the last 36 hours and smile I will.................I can't believe we won without Kofi and Belo....That's my cross to bear as I never have went into a game thinking we had a chance to lose.....it's not in my makeup.......but today after the news came out about being shorthanded without Kofi I just couldn't comprehend that we would win tonight ........So my faith wavered but i am back to where I need to be with my belief in this team ....
thank BU and staff and all the players for such an entertaining 2 1/2 hours of fun and enjoyment.......
next up ....................mildcats stew on Saturday......................yum yum..............I'm done with crow..........................
