I actually enjoy listening to Dakich. Not sure why all the hate.I must be the only person in Illini-land that doesn't really hate Dakich. I don't love him. He's a jerk. But specifically his work on the microphone calling games doesn't bother me.
Cris Collinsworth is absolutely my most-hated sports announcer. The man is just so abhorrently dumb.
Bardo bends over backwards to prove he's not a homer. So, it just seems like he's overly critical of Illinois and has much more praise for the opposing team. Just my opinion. I could be wrong...I mean there has been enough stuff to be critical about.There are people who don't like Bardo or Schmack kid?
Dan typically posts them here pronto -- once they're released.Has anyone seen the starting lineups for both teams yet?
Was thinking the same thing! Great opportunity to move up even without a Gonzaga loss. With a GU loss, your projection above could become reality.Sitting here with my son watching Gonzaga vs. WVU and thinking..........if the Mountaineers and Illini win the two games tonight, our new AP Top 5 is:
1. Illinois
2. WVU
3. Iowa
4. MSU
5. Wisconsin
4 Big 10 teams in the Top 5, with Illinois on top --- pending outcomes over the next 4 days, of course. Baylor Bears and Zags most definitely being removed from the top two spots. Who would make more sense to be #1?
Great Q. Tough call. Hoping for an "A-" grade from all three.Who has a better game? Adam Miller, Damontr William's or Trent Frazier... the answer will tell you what type of game this will be
All three have to have a great game. The x-factor could be Curbelo.Who has a better game? Adam Miller, Damontr William's or Trent Frazier... the answer will tell you what type of game this will be
I have a bad feeling about this game but cannot say why... I know this team is different this year and my normal Illini pessimism has no place.
That being said, I will be happy if we do anything from Win to lose by about 10. A big double digit loss does look bad especially with the spotlight so bright
I must be the only fan that likes Collinsworth. I think he’s hands down the best color guy calling NFL games.I mute every Collinsworth game. I can’t stand him lol
This is where we miss Feliz.I have 2 pre-game thoughts.
With all the hype surrounding tonight does Illinois overplay or do they stay within themselves?
I think we will see Baylor go on a couple big runs tonight. Who will step up and stop the run?
I guess we will see soon. After years of garbage basketball it's fun to get anxious for a big game again!
Well as long as you’d prefer a win. /sI'll only be happy with a win. If we play tough but lose a close one, I'll still be hopeful, but I would much prefer a win.
