Agreed. I haven't felt this way about a sports team since the '05 Illini - that feeling that you're going to win, by some method, every game because that's just what's gonna happen! Obviously, that's not realistic in baseball, but the swagger this team plays with makes following them truly awesome.

If our frontcourt wasn't dead, we might have won some games this year. Agreed ... I actually think we'd be pretty damn good healthy!

It would be huge to edge out Michigan today at home. Hopefully enough folks show up to make it a decent atmosphere...

If Illinois misses the Tourney this year (can't imagine they make it), that'll be the first three-year drought since the 1970s ... That is so depressing.

This is how I feel, too. :( He was straight on fire at times this year, and he was likable. Good luck, Starlin!

Not that I'm 100% behind Groce, but I can't help but wonder where we'd be right now with a healthy team all year. Not crazy to think we'd have one loss. I really hope this isn't the excuse all year, which in turn gives Groce a free pass for another year. No thanks. I highly doubt it will be, and it shouldn't be. Groce should have made three straight Tournaments here so far with a B1G level PG in the fold; if he'd done all that, he'd get a complete pass for this year ... As of now, he's gotta find a way, or he's in trouble.

JCL is going to be a star, and I frickin' love Finke! Other than that ... Yikes. Can't get Nunn back soon enough.

Cool it. Anyway, if there was anything good about Thomas, it's how different he tried to be than Guenther (a colossal failure). I really hope we try to break the bank on this and the football hire. Potential is extremely high at U of I, but we've had inept leadership for 20 years.

I feel helpless and sad.

Beautiful double play!

This ump sucks.

SCHWARBER!

Watching this with my dad, I almost cried tears of joy. Oh GOD, that was awesome! GO CUBS GO! :flythew:

That felt good! :flythew:
