Little late to the party on this, but I had appendicitis 3 years ago. Its random, it occurs without warning and it has no cause (from what I understand). If your appendix bursts (and mine did), the pain is IMMENSE and I'm told its similar to child birth or kidney stones. Luckily the surgery is rather quick and minor as far as surgeries are concerned, he just needs to be on a lot of IV antibiotics for the next few days to prevent internal infection.

Curbelo ready to be Illini's spark plug in season's homestretch
Guard has had one setback after another this season.
CHAMPAIGN, Ill. — The last time Illinois played Ohio State, Andre Curbelo was all over the floor.
Coming off the bench, he flew around the court of Bankers Life Fieldhouse, made timely plays and endeared fans with his energy and upside down headband.
More importantly, he was one of the biggest reasons they came up with a conference title in Indianapolis with a team-high 16 points and five assists in the Big Ten Tournament title game last March.
Curbelo was billed as one of the team’s stars and a preseason All-American after sparkling performances during his freshman season like that one. Instead, he’s gone through a Murphy’s Law kind of season where he’s missed over a dozen games because of multiple setbacks.
Now a year later, when Illinois hosts Ohio State in a rematch of that contest (8 p.m. Thursday on FS1), Curbelo will be in the same role he was then. Not exactly what Curbelo or Illinois imagined.”You miss so many games and you try to get into a flow and try to get into a rhythm, that can be difficult,” Curbelo said. “Especially when the team was supposed to be built around you, and then now you’ve got to get used to what we’re doing now.”

Exactly -that goes for the rest of the bench.
No excuses we know we can play.
Yup. Ruptured appendicitis is generally 3 days of IV antibiotics. Uncomplicated, nonruptured appendicitis patients usually leave the hospital less than 24 hours after surgery. Let’s hope RJ is the latter.
Belo with the new cut? That's pretty much a guarantee he's going off tonight.
I would be.BU seems to be getting more annoyed during his pressers.

I see him as the 2020s college version of Joe Namath, but 1000x more mobile: Broadway Belo.

For my own psyche, I want an absolute drubbing tonight. Leave no doubt.

Fully endorsed. I'll take a repeat of the first game I ever saw in the Hall my freshman year. It was the mid-'80s version of a Dominant Erupt:

Win by 20. Win 10. Win by 1. Just win baby.
I just realized OSU has pretty much the easiest possible conference schedule this year. They only play us and Purdue once, and they play Maryland, Minnesota, and Nebraska twice. They have a decent chance at winning out after this with a pretty favorable remaining schedule.
Now I really want us to blow these guys out. I don't enjoy seeing teams benefit from an easy schedule. Beat them tonight and their title hopes are gone.

I really would like Kofi to go for 30 and 15 in a win. I’m so tired of hearing about Johnny Davis being POTY front runner when he has had so many bad games against bad teams, and some good like us.
White Script is my guess for uni...OSU probably wearing red so we won't wear orange. Ill be there in my lucky blue pullover though.

Lou-Do definitely pulled off the orange jacket/ tie combo best of all. If my old memory serves (and it rarely does), wasn’t there a small town shop (Arthur? Tuscola?) that custom made his threads?
Yes, hard to find another shop that gets the orange right. Also think BU has ditched the dress clothes for the foreseeable future.

If you don’t wear orange, and they happen to lose, you’ll feel like a heel twice over…
