[QUOTE="Loyalillini10, post: 1986825, member: 23719"] I have an honest to goodness question: what is it about being an Illini fan that makes one not be able to enjoy a blowout victory over a rival? We do not have our best player and have blown out our last two opponents. The Illini have shot very well and played great defense. They have been very positive during what has to be a very uneasy time. BU and staff have done a great job this season and have put together one of the best teams we have seen in years. Yet, for some folks it just isn't enough. I was watching the IlliniHQ podcast and some joker writes in with a: it's a Sweet 16 or bust for Underwood and a tired of mediocrity message. Seriously? Right now? Why don't we think about Purdue first? We aren't even close to that time of year. We just beat NW by 30 and are ranked in the top 10 and all you can think to comment is an ultimatum for our coach? I am flabbergasted. I cannot imagine how unfun it must be to be that kind of "fan." We are having an incredibly successful year and there are those who only wish to dwell on BU's past shortcomings. We have a really great and extremely likeable team, folks. Let's try to enjoy them together, one game at a time. And...you know...maybe, give BU a little credit. [/QUOTE]
