  1. I never understood the premise that you can't say anything about any other teams if the team you root for isn't good.
  2. Illinois' problem is that they are near historically bad on the defensive glass this year. The combination of that with an off shooting night is impossible to overcome.
  3. They would have absolutely been #1 in the polls, since they'd have started higher than ND.
  4. In hindsight, I really wish OSU were eligible this year, because it would have created such an enjoyable media storm.
  5. Quite an egg laid by Chelsea today.
  6. I do, in Green Bay for the NFC Championship in 3 weeks. From 50+.
  7. Griffey did, but he's so bad at everything else basketball related he negates himself. But seriously, Richardson is a godless chucked who shoots sub 35 percent from the floor. Sit his ass and play Bertrand more minutes. Richardson is the most efficient offensive starter that Illinois has. And that includes Paul being pretty damned efficient this year.
  8. When you purchase merchandise and fail to make a profit on it in private resale, you didn't suffer losses.
  9. John Gasaway @ Insider: Illini fans should feel better about this start than last year's. No, seriously, stop worrying.
  10. It was good of the kid not to even try to string Illinois along, at least.
  11. It's not confirmed until after an alleged physical, and the Cubs can't add him until they make a corresponding couple of roster moves anyway (they can't even add Villanueva yet), so just wait for the first post in the forum to get updated by someone other than SCS with an actual confirmed link.
  12. Who gets dropped from the roster to make room for Villanueva?
  13. BYU for the upset. I liken it to "The Bachelor". Whenever the finalist list includes 4 hotties and an inexplicable choice, the guy's already made his final choice, he's just stringing the hotties along because they're hot.
  14. if your biggest issue at the end of the season is whether your coach gets screwed out of a stupid coach of the year award, i'd say things went pretty well. of course, not surprising that an illini fan is preemptively whining about something like that. He's a Mizzou fan Forget it, he's rolling.
  15. I remember how poorly we finished last year. I also saw kenpom has us projected to win three games in conference. It's crazy to think that at this point. KenPom predicts that Illinois goes 9-9 in conference, despite that they'll only be favorites in 6 games. Thus the penalty for having 1 game against PSU and no home games against MSU or Iowa. On the plus side, they don't go to Bloomington this year. Jesus, that's not at all what someone posted on Illinois loyalty. They had us favored in only 3 big games. Yeah, they're favored in both games against Nebraska and NW, and home games against PSU and Purdue. Very slight underdogs at Purdue and Iowa, and very slight underdogs at home to Wisconsin (who is probably overvalued in KP due to their blowing out everyone who isn't their equal), Minnesota, Michigan and OSU. Heavier underdogs vs IU and at Michigan, OSU, Minnesota, and MSU. So, on average, they win the favored games and split the toss-ups.

  17. They are, and you are.
  18. I hate that Illinois has about 3 conference games where I feel comfortable they'll win it.
  19. Frankly I find the piety to be laudable. Repetitive tripe is annoying even when you think you're better than everyone else, guys.
  20. STRIKE ONE, MIKE THOMAS.
  21. Illinois up to 10th in both polls (leaped over Mizzou, Cincy and Gonzaga). Four B1G teams in the top 10, 6 in the top 19.
  22. That's because Weber's motion offense never actually involved the player with the ball moving.
  23. I AM FILLED WITH SHAME ...and on a high unlike any other since Illinois has the best road win of any team this year.
