    OT: Something I can like about U of I

    I’m a Chicago guy, too - regardless of college sports preference - downtown Champaign has COMPLETELY rejuvenated itself in the last 10 years, and it’s actually very nice, IMO. This arena would make it even better.

    Illinois internal investigation into Brad Underwood's behavior

    Lol? Should be a Tournament team, at least. If we are not, Underwood’s seat will certainly get hot.

    Illinois 2pt Favorites

    I'll be there, but I am not expecting a big crowd ... I can only speak for our fans, but I was predicting a big turnout a few weeks ago. Now, I think our fans will wait until it's closer to Thursday or Friday (not that we are likely to make it to either) before showing up. Again, can't speak...

    We get a third game vs. the Illini!

    You unironically should ... once he had to coach players he recruited, he took this... 4 Big Ten championships in 5 years 2 BTT championships in 3 years 4 Sweet Sixteens in 5 years 2 Elite Eights in 5 years 1 Final Four in 5 years and made it into this... 0 Big Ten championships 0 BTT...

    We get a third game vs. the Illini!

    Let's hope ... too big and talent-rich of a state to have this little success on the hardwood. And I'm not sure if you have every peaked at the Iowa board, but ... there would be some MIGHTY fine humor if they lost to either one of us, haha.

    How many of us are planning on coming to the UC on Wednesday?

    Yeah, I probably spend the most time on Loyalty but just as a lurker. I originally got this account to post on the national board, but I can't post anymore there without paying, LOL. Screw that. I have always been of the opinion that if you at least act like a guest, there is nothing wrong...

    As a resident guest fan here (our site sucks), I will be there. :P PSA ... I have confirmed that they WILL serve beer. Asked a gal the other week when I was there. :) I had heard a rumor they might not this year, so ... thank God.

    We get a third game vs. the Illini!

    Mike, I have said before that your undying passion for NU (and even your deranged hatred for my Illini) actually kind of impress me ... but you scored seven more points than us in the second half, LOL.

    NU is 2-12 since first Illinois game; Illini are 7-7

    Two things from a friendly Illini homer perspective: 1) You might be right about Ayo leaving, I’m not sure. I hope he doesn’t, though; he could REALLY benefit from one year, IMO. If Ayo does stay and with Kofi coming in next year, I think we could be a Tournament team next year. Hope so...

    Let’s stir the pot

    Meh ... too bipolar, just like the hoops one.

    Let’s stir the pot

    I’ll add some humility as an Illini fan ... what on Earth makes it likely that we win 3 OOC games next year?? :) I enjoy Mike, too. Even when his blind hatred of Illinois causes him to be a little illogical, he actually is a well-versed basketball fan, and he clearly loves his team. As for...

    Anyone watching this Illinois game?

    Uh, no ****! LOL. Any non-biased observer would say we’re a young team that took a while to gel, and we do appear to be gelling. Obviously, our body of work over the course of the season is embarrassing, but when you’re trying to (re)build a program, you can only look forward.

    Illinois post game thoughts

    Always hard to compliment a team you just beat without sounding patronizing, but you guys really do have a brighter future. I believe we do, too. We got pretty lucky at multiple points, and you should be proud of your team. We’ll both be much, much better teams next year.

    THE OFFICIAL RUTGERS-ILLINOIS PREDICTION THREAD

    I think posters are just on an emotional high, only natural. :) We used to be very, very good at basketball, and now - as a program with WAY more built-in advantages than most - we have sucked for a decade. Not a good combo for logic and mental stability! LOL. I am nervous for this one, you...

    LOL, this made me laugh. :)
