People saying that we need to keep players like Goode/Harris and we need to move away fro players like Aj Storr all the while the wanting a national championship is very mind numbing.

I glad Brad doesn’t see it this way.

Illinois faithful, why can’t you embrace greatness? Sometime this fans base has kind of a losers mentality. If we want to be blue bloods we need to think and act like blue bloods.

No reason for Goode to catch a stray here.. he is absolutely the kind of guy that contributes to a championship team. Felt like he had a 5 or so game stretch were he was off a bit but changed a lot of games with his shooting, rebounding, and toughness. Not to mention what a guy like that does for the culture

FWIW I think sencire could have had a similar impact as a 6th or 7th man off the bench with his defense but if he wants to go somewhere and have more offensive freedom I get it

is a corn dog a sandwich or a burrito?

You see, now, we have something worthy of investigation. If you consider a hot dog a sandwich….. isn’t a corndog essentially the same thing…. Except with a stick in it?

However, what may need more exploring is the thought…… do they make “cornbrats”?

Not everyone is happy coming off the bench. Not everyone is happy in a role. Some guys want to play 30+ minutes. Unless you are All-Conference quality, that's not going to happen here.
I don't know anything about what Buck is thinking, but these are very real issues in team sports.

I believe we are making progress folks. And I'm sorry to interject this now. But, if you haven't had a Danny's Pittsburgh Italian Hoagie in Bethel Park, Pa, then you may need to hold your opinion on all other sammiches of any kind. Just sayin'.

Well, one blue blood with even more money than we have seems to think AJ Storr isn't worth his asking price.

I'm talking out of both sides of my mouth on this, because I'm sincerely conflicted about it.

There's a lot that's exciting about Storr the basketball player and a lot to be skeptical of. And while I think we should resist the temptation to make his journey of seeking out the value he's earned as a player out as some sort of moral failing, it's hard to blame people for thinking "this is what the recruitment of a guy who never passes the ball looks like".

So do you know this to be true or are you taking a twitter post as fact?

I always get the burrito bowl at Chipotle and if we can connect a bowl of toppings to a burrito to a sandwich I feel like there are no rules and that's really a reflection of modern college basketball. Boom, back on track 😀
