And one more thing before I get banned. My family had one hot meal a day during the Depression: a bowl of steam! (courtesy of Woody Allen in "Take the Money and Run"). Pigeon was always safe, though, a member of the family. We were all feather-brained.

Just having a great day! Hope you don't mind my nonsense. Fun City!

Keep up the great work!

Go Illini!

Any very early guesses as to who is in Mike Small's lineup at the Big Ten Tournament and beyond?
Should be Ryan piercen max Jackson and Timmy or Tyler. Maybe Jerry if piercen struggles. Ethan has looked decent at times but it won’t be him and neither will it be Adam.

A few guys are playing well today overall but the course is killing teams compared to yesterday. It’s kinda windy in Vegas is that it?
 
#206

Wind advisory in Las Vegas area until 6 a.m., then it dies down, according to NOAA.

Go Illini.

Playing much better today as are most of the better teams in the field. But man I feel bad for piercen seems like the pressure gets to him? Idk

If they could rally and take 3rd that would be quite an accomplishment considering they are going to be counting the same 4 guys in every round. Hunt just can’t seem to find any consistency. The lineup the rest of the year is going to be interesting.

Yep....Hunt really struggling. Played well when playing as an independent...but not so good in the pressure of playing team golf. Don't see how he can remain in the lineup moving forward. Really hoped he would provide senior leadership this year.

The issue is the guys behind him are question marks too. And he’s got so much talent. I hope he figures it out. He was our best player last tournament it makes no sense

Not a bad finish 1 stroke behind Florida fro 3rd sadly. Hopefully Texas drops a stroke and we get solo 4th. Beating unc is good assuming they don’t have a good finish

good round today we let it get away from us for sure yesterday.

Hunt has the highest scoring average by a good bit this year. Timmy and Jerry are both averaging under par this year. Either of those are more of a sure bet. When Hunt is on he can go crazy low so that is the risk your taking.

Not a bad result after day 1 though disappointing. Texas closed really strong to beat us. Hey at least unc had a horrible tournament. Small victory there

Appears Golfstat is covering Johnnie-O at Sea Island, GA Monday and Tuesday. Field is incomplete.

So far Augusta, Michigan State, Nebraska, Penn State, UNC Greensboro, Liberty, Ohio State, Kansas State, Kansas, Marquette.

No mention yet of host Rutgers and Illinois.

Looks like it's a great opportunity to see how Illini stack up against some BIG teams.

While I wait for Golfstat updates, I'm gonna go out on a limb and predict Illinois wins yet another Big 10 golf championship this year.

Final team field, according to Neb golf website: drop Ohio State, Liberty; add Minn, Notre Dame, Cincy and Texas.

Ohio State team of five is at Hayt in Florida 3/9, 10, 11. But is sending individuals to Johnnie-O 3/11, 12! Same for Liberty.

I'm thoroughly confused.

I know I'm a little anal retentive, but why can't Illinois golf office provide us with info on Johnnie-O? Players? Tournament starts tomorrow, after all. Must be a good reason. I just don't understand.
