The original owner, Ray Timpone, had a reputation as a notorious cheapskate. One time, I ordered a large pizza to go, and he was working the register. I asked if I could have some napkins.
14 deep. And it's not a question of who gets drafted but how many and how high. I don't care if or bench is top 50. I just want our team to be top 16!
Naw, that would be Illini 0 for 41 lol. He’s a terrible shooter!
For the record, Richard Keene’s cousin is way cooler than Connor McCaffrey’s dad.
They did tear it down when it closed. Pizza was fantastic. Maybe the best ever. I always took it carryout so I didnt have to deal with the smoke
It would be appreciated to have a separate "off-topic" thread for people who need to post regardless of it's relevancy to the topic at hand (i.e. recruiting).
I saw him several times this year and know his trainer who worked with him for years. Kid can pass, handle, and shoot without question. Decent athlete. Good off the ball D.
Sure it is, an overwelming percentage of people like both baseball and hamburgers.
You don’t like hamburgers?
Very underrated Italian beef
If its just the news your interested in, the home page is an excellent source.
Timpone’s pizza on campus is the same as Jolly Roger.
Prospects entering the portal, prospects committing to other schools, thoughts about potential lineups and player fit, opinions on commits' games, upcoming dates/deadlines, recruiting ranking updates. All is relevant and would not make the main page.
Tennessee grad here. Look no further than about 5 years ago when Charlie Ergen’s alumni fund pushed Jim Haslam out as the funding partner of choice for Tennessee athletics. Charlie is the founder of Dish Network and is a friend of fellow Tennessee grad Min Kao (of garMIN). Their group has DEEP pockets and Barnes has performed better than Altman lately.

Italian beef: Not relevant
Yes - Hoots is gone, torn down many years ago and the original owner of both passed away a few years ago. Little Mexico has moved, nice place but the menu is dramatically different. I grew up in Mattoon and went to an LLC softball game today so we ventured into town for a late lunch at the BK today...buns were stale, daughter and I split the 4 cheeseburger and a pound of fries deal (fries there are not my favorite), with 2 fountain sodas the total was $20. A little high IMO. My daughter and I did talk a little Illini hoops and I told her I've been lead to believe we're getting a commitment from an Oregon transfer soon so all of this information is completely relevant!Thanks for sharing. Hadn't thought of that place in years.... my parents were both from Mattoon and both sets of GPs lived there until they passed. Was not too far from Hoots Haus if I remember... and I think there was a connection? Also loved Little Mexico restaurant... would power through a Mr. Mexican platter
