Did they? Did they ever even announce he was part of the team/roster? Looks like the staff saw or knew the flags from the beginning.

Bigtex, I expected better from you!
It's a line from "The Gambler" by Texas-born Kenny Rogers. I was riffing off a post from our own resident cowboy, WyattEarp, that was laden with gambling puns.
Love the Vizsla.
We got a cocker spaniel instead. "Oh, a sportin' dog is a sportin' dog," we said. And he does ferociously protect us from bees and sparrows when we're out walking, but maybe not quite the same thing?

Think NIL and the Transfer Portal are changing the fundamental nature of athletics in college. Just wait.

Assembly Bill 252, or the College Athlete Protection Act, would require California colleges to put some of their sports revenue into a fund that would pay student athletes when they complete their degrees. Athletes could earn as much as $25,000 for each year they participate in their sport.

Great memories watching that team. Its a shame they didn't show up against Springfield High in the sectional. I remember going to Lincoln and stomping the Brian Cook led Railsplitters. That team was packing the gym BIGTIME! macArthur had some talent then as well. Could you imagine how good they would have been with MacArthur and Stephen D combined at that time? They would have given Manual a run for their money.

2 kids we're in on made this list:
splitter
- and not Nebraska
I was also at that game but had a slightly different take about the outcome. Went to some road games at Steven Decatur. Was always treated well as visitors That was a good rivalry. You are correct even though Manual was great, that combination would have given them quite a challenge.
We beat Lincoln in the regional to play against Springfield. Stephen D was undefeated before losing to Springfield
Love some of the names.
Name checks out.
TRE Johnson should walk away with that title.

Penn St weekend. Huge. Exactly what the staff was pushing for, right? @Indy Illini Fan
Or Jerry, before he changed his name back as an upperclassman
It’s pretty cool that he agreed to go into The Hall as an Illini though. Very Andre Dawson of him.
