[QUOTE="OrangeKrus28, post: 1265949, member: 624124"] I've been watching since 1999-2000. The Illini were the reason I got into college basketball and still love college basketball to this day. I needed to find a substitute for the horrible Bulls after MJ retired and the Illini were that and they became my favorite team to root for of any sports franchise. But, like you, I used to treat every game like life or death and would get so nervous watching all of the close games, up to about 2-3 years ago. But lately, I have become more used to seeing them lose and seeing them lose by large margins. It is almost like we have come to accept that our school is like Georgia or Alabama in terms of basketball relevancy these days. It is a sad state indeed. But, I still watch all the games in hopes that they get things turned around. [/QUOTE]
