Anyone in Champaign been out and about this morning? A long time to go before game time, but I'm hoping the roads will be passable by then, assuming I can get off of the side street.

Reports are the the highways are ice rinks at this point. Champaign public works is plowing but I'm not sure how well they are going to be able keep up. Side roads will be your issue as you said. Be careful!

Winning the Purdue game without Curbelo might be the most ridiculous thing I have ever seen on this site.

I don't know, there have been some pretty ridiculous things on this site. Remember when there were posters legitimately convinced that Bill Self wanted to leave Kansas, where he had accomplished all he can, to finish what he started here? We ended up with John Groce, of course.

But winning the Purdue game without Curbelo and his 20 pts is definitely up there.

No, Damonte is exactly the type of player I want to see on the court. He's gritty, smart, and he knows his role. I want Curbelo to be as great as anybody here does. I'm just not sure he is any of those things. He certainly hasn't proven my trust on the court, but I am looking forward to him proving me wrong. And for the record, I think we win that Purdue game without him. Illinois usually finds a way to win those big games at home and that was an uncharacteristic loss in that situation.

Wait, so you are saying that Curbelo's performance caused us to LOSE the Purdue game? Since they lost with him and they would win without him?

And you're saying that Curbelo is not gritty, smart and doesn't know his role?

Wow.

The coaching search threads, a land of dreamers and kooks. Some of the most fanciful writing about Illinois sports you'll ever find. I both love and hate them in equal parts.

We will most assuredly keep that statement on the record.

Also, not sure how you can watch Curbelo come off the bench all of last year, step up and play the starting PG when Ayo went down, then back to 6th man and then this year fight through injury and sickness and going back to the bench and say he isn't "gritty" or doesn't "know his role." Total bullsh*t.
