Dad to 4 Girls, Grandpa to another, HOH Water Technology, I'm an HF Viking (2024 Illinois state title winner) Illini, Chicago fan, WMU, surrounded by SEC homers
Being an Illinois and Bears football fan should earn some sort of award for us fans to have to watch these offenses. Like a golden polish or burrito or something.
So I check into my hotel in Memphis wearing my Illinois mask and all the dudes at the front desk are like hey man you got a really good team and you beat Michigan without your best player....I felt almost famous 😎
Gotta interrupt my basketball stuff to update- became a Grandpa two weeks ago, baby was 7 weeks early but her and my oldest daughter are doing well. Gotta post a pic!
Been months since I updated, Grand Baby Paige born 7 weeks premature back in February doing great, almost 4 months old, almost 9 pounds now and doing great.

Ked I think we can all echo these same thoughts, Ayo did it right, he busted his butt, he got better at things he was told he needed to be better at, and he's a first class kid with a first class family. Lets hope it all comes together in the best spot for him

Arkansas is favored by two, and in fairness Illinois also has 9 top 100 recruits on the roster, both have talent that has underperformed. My .02
Happy Thanksgiving everybody! We are thankful for Grandbaby Paige who was born 8 weeks early and is doing great at 9 months old. She says enjoy your day!
@JonRothstein
That sucks for the kid, as an Illinois fan we've had some good natured fun with Michigan fans (and Vice Versa), no one EVER wants a kid to get hurt, want teams full strength. Sad, really.
Wally Sczerbiak on CBS Sports net thinks Illinois will be first one seed gone because he "doesnt like what he saw from Ayo or Illinois down the stretch in B10 tournament, some troubling things..."
The new normal in CBB is nearly everyone is gonna transfer or listen to offers to transfer. This is how it will be. Enjoy the ride, it wont change anytime soon. The days of 4 year players and developing your own guys will be few and far between.

I literally have never once paid for a haircut in my life, mom was a hairdresser and had freebies first 20 years, then 35 years since I shave my head because having 4 daughters made me mostly bald.
@BoardGeniuses
Came out of the woodwork last night. I think Illinois fans have complained about calls MSU gets for 20 years now, nice to see shoe on other foot one time in a decade +. No sympathy here
ID much rather get hammered in Elite 8 than be sitting on my couch critiquing while my team sits at home. That said, Roll Tide! The wife even made bama cupcakes lol
Pre-wedding day fiesta made by my daughter’s fiancé’s family, may be the best food I’ve ever eaten in my life. Homemade salsa, guac, best beans in world history, homemade rice, carne asada and chicken. I’m spoiled lol
