Even Keaton sharing #TheRetention has to be a good sign right??

How do I do the giorgi dancing gif?

In the message box, click on GIF, then put giorgi dancing in the search box.

A good sign that he loves the program.

But he gone.

I read this like you wanted us to declare martial law in the Balkans. Lol

(That’s gonna take a lot of resources…and probably unconstitutional. We’d better have a helluva an exit strategy. Not sure how that would play out.)

Hey if any state is prepared to annex them, it’s gotta be Illinois!

Bright side of this is that any friends or family of our Balkan players would get in state tuition rates!

 

[WyattEarp]

Yeah… but they’ve got a tough act to follow. How they gonna top this?

Aleka K. modeling “Illini wear” in the background might be nice

He was working out with Tomi today, so it's safe to assume he knows more than we do...

 

[FightinIllini30]

Okay so it really seems like Andrej and the twins will be back…

But why wait?

What a time to be an Illini fan.

I just shake my head when I reflect on the hours of pre-season analysis where the conventional wisdom was that Keaton should redshirt and Mirkovic might get spot minutes as a rebounder but mostly an afterthought. I'll try to remember that in about 2 weeks when the sea of 'minus allocations for next year' posts begin...

Good post Larry!! If I never see a post about the allocation of minutes it will be too soon. What a waste of time. And for what purpose? No one has ever been right or close to it due to the myriad of unknown and unpredictable influences that take place every season without fail.

But what would be great to see is some weekly pre-season practice/scrimmage videos to see how the team chemistry is progressing and which frosh are showing above the curve. All I am interested in are facts.

I genuinely laughed out load when the screen with the bees came up mid announcement. Just well done

Is there a way to get this other than on Twitter? I avoid that.

 

[One Man Fast Break]

Realistically if we get like one or two more bounces this offseason is Illinois a preseason top 5 team?

 

[FreshlySqueezed]

If they get Harris and Hill, Jr. look out.

It's kind of a bummer we don't play them until 2027.

Where exactly IS Blackwell? I'm in Long Beach on a work trip and can swing by wherever and make an Orange & Blue pitch if needed.

I'm just here to help the team win.

[Mr. Tibbs]

Maybe next year…. if not oh well.

Should’ve chosen the right school earlier instead of chasing the bag. OA was all in at one point.

 

[My2Cents]

Tomi and Z in a locker room breaking something...just then the phone rings. Drej on the other end on video, sitn on a beach with a cool tropical drink, asking the twins "so are we doing this ?" Just then the infamous F*CK YEAH chick comes into the locker room. FU** YEAH!!!! Drej states, if it's ok with guys, I'm gonna bring my boy with me...........screen scrolls to show Blackwell chilled on the beach with drink in hand !

DAVID is F'ing Hilarious!!! Love that kid

Is there a reason my gif box is greyed out? Anyone?

Gordyville …

 

[mysterio2525]

any truth to the report that Dylan mingo is hurt and that's why unc backed off?
