Seconded, make sure to go to the one in Champaign too. Really cool location.Black Dog is far and away the best spot.

Well if you asked me who our biggest rival is I would say Mizzou.I just want to say how funny I think it is for Michigan fans to freak out about random national personalities calling us their “rival,” as if it’s some narrative we desperately push.
1) Most Illini fans would name IU, Missouri and Iowa well ahead of Michigan.
2) Getting annoyed that those pansies cheated us out of a Big Ten title and that Hunter Dickheadson seems to be obsessed with talking about us is not some proclamation of a rivalry … it’s just responding to things relevant to us.
3) I absolutely do not accept some universe in which Michigan Basketball is superior enough to provide Illinois Basketball with ANY extra credibility by having an association with them.
Delusional losers.

Hoping you and your dad can enjoy that NC together. My dad, a lifelong Cubbie fan, passed away the summer of 2016. Enjoy every one of those moments you get.Not to get all sentimental...BUT, my dad's not doing that great and I am so thankful I can still share these moments with him. Now, if we can just win an NC next year it'll be all good.
I so wanted to win a NC before my dad passed. I still remember calling him after the AZ comeback. Really thought it would come to fruition that year. Sigh.Not to get all sentimental...BUT, my dad's not doing that great and I am so thankful I can still share these moments with him. Now, if we can just win an NC next year it'll be all good.
God Bless you both, let's do this and win a NC.Hoping you and your dad can enjoy that NC together. My dad, a lifelong Cubbie fan, passed away the summer of 2016. Enjoy every one of those moments you get.
Yeah I'm cool with a backup option. I just don't want to bring in someone who's promised a starting spot, I guess. Someone who's cool with competing for one, sure thing.But why? He hasn't played a minute of college basketball. We have no idea if he is ready. Doesn't hurt to bring in a starting caliber transfer to be safe.
Good luck, hope things turn out OK. My dad's been gone 18 years now, you guys all call yours as often as you can! Ironic thing is that he graduated from Loyola, and was there in '63, so he got his national championship!Not to get all sentimental...BUT, my dad's not doing that great and I am so thankful I can still share these moments with him. Now, if we can just win an NC next year it'll be all good.
Size comparison vs 88-89
Liberty. 6’8”. Dain. 6’9”
Hamilton. 6’7”. Hawk. 6’10”
Anderson. 6’6”. RJ. 6’7”
Battle. 6’6”. Shannon 6’6”
Bardo. 6’6”. Ty. 6’7”
Gill. 6’4. Skyy. 6’3”
Small. 6’7”. Luke. 6’7”
Smith. 6’4”. Sencire. 6’5”
Bowman. 5’10”. Epps. 6’2”
Size compares well but Anderson and Battle are tough to match. Can see switching, pressure defense in terms of length and athleticism. Believe all five starters played in NBA. May have 5 possibilities on this team but certainly not proven yet.
I'd really enjoy watching them beat up on Bruce. Oh wait....It would be fun to see Adam Miller go to TCU. They should be pretty good next year, maybe even top 10-15 team. It would be easy to root for him there, and maybe they can push Kansas for a title... maybe.

It’s Indiana for me.I just want to say how funny I think it is for Michigan fans to freak out about random national personalities calling us their “rival,” as if it’s some narrative we desperately push.

Looks like Jace Howard got in on the whining in another now-deleted tweet.
