[QUOTE="americanoutlaw11, post: 1361485, member: 603942"] Well ain't that nice. This isn't golf. It is all (mostly) good natured rivalry stuff. It is nature of territorial spectator sports. Fans are part of the game. That includes cheering, clapping, being voracious and yes, sometimes even (gasp) booing the other team. Booing someone doesn't automatically = classless. Players live for this stuff, both sides of it. No sane person actually wishes Tilmon ill, or for any harm to come to him. But we also aren't going to act like nothing happened, smack him on the fanny and give him an "attaboy" either. You don't think he was fired up and ready to kick some serious *** last night to "show us" Illini fans? If he dropped 20 and 10 against us with 5 blocks don't think for a minute he wouldn't have been Dee Brown popping the heck out of the front of that Mizzou jersey in front of the Illini faithful. He became flaky with his commitment to UofI the very minute Goodwin committed to SLU, then he dipped out. He knew exactly what the repercussions would be. [/QUOTE]
