[QUOTE="IlliniHardwood, post: 1837790, member: 748830"] I find little-if-anything to support regarding this particular team other than the Illinois emblazoned across their chest. I'm sure that this won't be a popular opinion (at least out loud and in public): this team will have lost my confidence until I see some genuine fire or instinctually aggressive response to getting embarrassed by an arch-rival. Do I want to see violence or someone seriously injured? No. Would I be encouraged by a mild brawl started by a moderate elbow/push/chest bump that elicits an aggressive response from opposition and is followed by aggressive support from the Illini team? Yes. Yet, I couldn't even get a questionably hard foul from our side while getting embarrassed by Miznoz. If you as an Illini men's basketball player are not insulted enough by the mere thought of losing to Mizzery by the skin of your teeth (let alone by 23 after being down by as much as 35 during the annual Braggin' Rights game) to foul someone in memorable fashion, please go to the end of the bench and reimburse your NIL income until you see the light.
