All it took was an imposter troll to bring the real 0440 back to the basketball side of Loyalty (he has made appearances in the football side).

Any other insiders on sabbatical that we need to bring back in the fold?

I've been wondering the same thing, we had a since retired Croatian working here for awhile and his mistrust of anyone Serbian was off the charts. He was definitely on the extreme side of things, grew up under communism, father killed in the war, was playing soccer for jr national team when he found out they were going to arrest him when he got back home, so defected in Germany and regrets the decision to this day he didn't go back and fight communism. Pretty sure he has lived through worse than all the stereotypes we are throwing out there.

Had a Serbian great-uncle (by marriage, we are of German descent mostly) who lived through similar circumstances and had similar stories. Not a violent man though. The one story that stuck with me was about food shortages and hunger post-war and under communist rule. There was one long period where they got ahold of a giant bag of corn meal, and patties and gruel were all he and his family ate for several months. Totally put him off anything corn-related for the rest of his life.

I only knew him in his older years, after he married my great-aunt. But I knew him for 30+ years before he passed and never saw him eat a kernel of corn.

It'd be awesome to see Illini0440 give us a gif if Fland commits to Da' Beloved.

The other great Insiders agree to let 0440 have his day--be a great welcoming back.

Possibly one of the best trolls though. I just found it hilarious is all. Comedic timing at its finest.

I am thinking it was Dan trying to lure 0440 back to the basketball threads.

This is like a roller coaster. Gotta love it! Pretty sure that everything I've heard leads me to believe we are safe with our next commit. Fland? Him and OA do have a great connection. You could put him at one or two. Slide the other guys over some. Team would be a lot more FLEXIBLE. Could go small or big depending. I like it. Hope he comes this way. Really like his game.

My sources say Andrej’s name is being floated for the next Pope and that’s what is holding up the process.

That is what I’ve been saying about Will Riley. This is my point for Will to come back next year with the Illini!
