Now I don’t mean to be pedantic, and I realize it’s exhibition season for everyone, but I have to admit I’m very concerned about the level of play from the flag people.

Pretty sure people can just follow along that game on their phone. Not as important as Illini basketball that's for sure.

So...you'd rather have a fanbase distracted than actively watching the game? Got it. So then we shouldn't hear any complaining about the fans not being engaged.

Now they count. Rotation will tighten a bit and I think there's a couple chance Andrej and Zvonimir are a go. At worst, I expect both back for Penn.

Yes, but what about Mirkovic? This is really dragging on. There are tough games on the horizon; without him, our chances of winning those games are slim.

I noticed this during the broadcast.
The “N” was last.😂

My first job out of UIUC was working in northern New Jersey, adjacent to Morristown. Blessedly spent only a handful of months there before being transferred to the UK. The NY Jets' practice facility now sits on the site of my former offices.

Directly across the street is Fairleigh Dickinson "University", which occupies a former Vanderbilt estate (The Florham estate if you're interested.) It was at the time, and I assume still is, a finishing school for the not-so-bright offspring of the wealthy. (NJ is oddly peppered with such places located on former estates of 19th century industrialists; my daughter interned on the Jersey shore a couple summers ago and lived in student housing at Monmouth "College.")

My colleagues (and many in the area) referred to it at the time as "Fairly Ridiculous University."

That's all I can contribute to the pregame thread for this one.

The lack of East Coast snobbery was a bit disappointing in the post. :)

I’ve designed a new series of Loyalty Board-themed shirts for the upcoming season. I’m not going to beat everyone over the head with promotion, but if you’re interested, the link to purchase is below. I’m also open to suggestions for other shirt ideas (I’m trying think of a good IANAL concept.). Let me know if there’s anything you’d like to see.

This will be the only time I promote this in a post, but the link is always available in my signature.

I'm Midwestern through and through, despite having a mother and large extended family originating in a Connecticut mill town.

You can take the boy out of God's country but you can't take God's country out of the boy. ;)

[EDIT: wait... did you mean Midwestern snobbery about the east coast? I inferred vice versa. I live to throw buckets of cold water on anyone in this region who refers to "flyover country.']

Snobbery is snobbery, no matter where it comes from.

No, just general East Coast snobbery.

I mean....a Loyalty Bingo Card shirt would be a winner. Not sure about "branding" rights.

I don't intend to nitpick but what we really need is a Loyalty After Dark T-shirt.

Excited to watch the guys play. The results the last several seasons are obvious, but they are also really fun to watch. A faster pace and all the weapons they have will make for some really fun, entertaining games.

What not as important???? Illinois is favored by 40. Thank God for two tv's but to think that the number of fans won't be supressed by the Bears game is just, crazy on you.

Stoyakovic, Mirkovic, T. Ivisic, who's going to play? I'm getting sick and tired of all these injuries. I'd like to see what we can bring to the table if we've got all our starters on the court.
