We have our own "Hondos" (although they don't look like gas station attendants from the 50's).
On a similar note, any talk that Illini fans are particularly bad to recruits on social media should be squashed by scrolling down Brandon McCoy's replies after he committed to UNLV last night: https://twitter.com/flyguyfreddyy/status/857071209837613056
This is my person favorite:
9 of 11, I think that was a new predictor - 82% to 18%

He's got a bit of the Charlie Weis FUPA going on there.
this kid is so much like Dee as far as he loves the Illini and he hasn't even step on the court yet. I do not think we are going to hear Coach BU saying he needs vocal leaders or how someone needs to step up and take charge. Lucas is already doing it in practice and Trent just have it.
Too much cake will do that to you.
If it ends up being true that Smith is coming to Illinois, it really is unfortunate Tilmon isn't coming here. A class of Williams, Frazier, Smith, Tilmon and possibly Badocchi would be a great class. Honestly, I'd prefer an athlete like Badocchi over Pickett (and these aren't sour grapes), more my desire for Illinois to finally have some good athletes.

If you really loved him you would have replaced it with a cake from Trefzger's in Peoria Heights.
Peoria native living in Iowa City, and I can confirm via multiple unbiased sources ... Trefzger's is legitimately the greatest bakery on Earth, and nobody I know has ever tried it and not fallen in love.

This made me LOL at my desk. Thank you!
His shape reminds me vaguely of a guy I worked for when in the Computer Science department, except the guy I worked for wore his one size too small khakis up over his gut about halfway to his chest. We all called him camel-toe. I have so many stories about that guy...
On the recruiting front, I'm nervous about MS. I think we get him, but I'm not positive.

That's great.
I really wanted to go to UNLV as a 17 year old. Now I think Vegas is the lamest thing ever. Behold the ravages of age.

Im getting married in a few months in Trefzgers new event center. Going to be eating up that cake all night!

Okay so I have it on good source, yes another message board friend who heard from a friend of a friend that the an orange and blue Illini cake was indeed ordered from Bailey's in Edwardsville by the Smith's so it looks like goldie really is guilty of breaking and entering.
Thank you, Simone.

Today will be a great day for the Illini.

My mother (RIP) used to get an Orange Chiffon cake from Trefzgers for her birhtday every year.
That would seem apropos for the Illini today!!!
We should probably hurry up and get on this train so there's no excuses this time, regardless of outcome.
