[QUOTE="OrangeNBrood_Redux, post: 1846660, member: 748881"] [ATTACH type="full" alt="7EB9B64D-993F-4916-8DB8-01B6529CF59E.jpeg"]22707[/ATTACH] [B]Big Ten bounty obtained in Nebraska. [/B] There was a point in this game, as Matthew Mayer drained a corner three to put some extra stank on a 10-0 Illinois run (after Nebby had shaved the lead to 5), where I declared out loud “[I]this[/I] is who we are.” We have always been a young team. And perhaps this recent stretch of losses was like our puberty: a turbulent time marked by confusion of identity, emotional volatility, and acts of stupidity. Perhaps that pain was always going to be necessary for our rise into a champion’s manhood. Ty Rodgers slowly synchronizing with the speed of the college game. TSJ finding consistency as a college star. RJ Melendez shooting with conviction despite severe slumping (and it will pay off, late season). The 2nd half was a sleeper hold we put on the Huskers. For that road kill. [I]This[/I] is who we are. [/QUOTE]
