@kirk_denz @ryanpolls_ @IlliniAD From what I best remember from the conversation, some sort of fundraising requirement was part of Krush. There are obviously more students interested in Krush than spots available. It just seemed that a spot in Krush had a $ requirement many students could not afford.
English
@ryanpolls_ @IlliniAD Transparency of any good, successful process is definitely not readily available.
@FowlerELHS Can you please elaborate on your post? Thanks in advance.
English
@IlliniAD
If this is true, it’s definitely a conflicting interest with prioritizing acceptance of high-energy, vocal and active fans into Krush.
A money-requirement is actually a 🚩.
Is there any oversight?

@AB1132 I did speak with a recent grad who was in Orange Krush very recently. He shared that there is some sort of money requirement to be considered for Krush. Might be cool since they give to charities, but $ requirement could exclude really rabid fans.

Someone point me in the direction of someone who has amazing knowledge about the Orange Krush, their process, and history. This could be a good podcast topic.

@itsAntWright Without Wagler you are putting a lineup out there of slower and taller players. Play zone with the bigger lineup or let Lee or Petrovic play man on their smaller guards.
English
Keaton Wagler was +3 in 44 minutes
Meaning Illinois was -5 in the one minute he sat down
English
@200ColumnsRy @TheOrangeKrush Try looking into how students get into Orange Crush in the first place. I have been told it has more to do with $$$ than being a fanatical Illini fan.
English
@TheOrangeKrush needs to bring it Sunday.
Be a differnce maker. Ask anyone not in the Krush. GTFO off your phones and playing with your blonde wigs and BE LOUD ALL GAME. REGARDLESS OF THE SCORE
Barstool Illini@BarstoolILL
Entire Krush section behind the Wisconsin bench is standing with their hands in pockets while we’re defending. On that end. They’ve been atrocious
English
@glenn_kinley Exhaustion directly causes those missed free throws, turnovers, and giving up offensive rebounds. Tired legs kind of sums up everything. Not sure why Lee and Petrovic couldn't get any minutes(maybe just to foul)??
English
Reasons #Illini lost that game, in no order - and I’m sure there are more but:
-Offensive rebounding
-Turnovers
-Free throws
-Exhaustion of playing just six guys
English
@wischlist Also frustrating that apparently Lee cannot even give you 5-7 minutes and match up with(foul?) some of these Wisconsin guards that are torching us tonight.
English
It’s really frustrating that Petrovic is apparently unplayable.
English
@Jake_B30 Just put Boswell on him. No more easy lane penetration.
English
@sportsmockery @NCAA The main thing to notice here is how Fears doesn't even flinch upon contact. He was braced and ready for Mirkovic to trip over him. Dirty play! Who stops after a pass and immediately steps left for no good reason?
English
So when is the @NCAA going to pay attention to Jeremy Fears Jr. being a dirty player? Multiple games and plenty of evidence.
English
@sarge____ Oh yeah, forgot about BBall. Check your BIG history to seen how consistently Illinois has been good. I think something like seven straight 20 win seasons.
English
i get so irrationally irritated with Illinois fans.
in the last 7-8 years, they have convinced themselves they are worthy of respect from other B1G fanbases despite them being about as relevant as Minnesota in everything but golf.
nobody will ever give a shit about Illinois
English
@sarge____ Have you heard of the #1 income generating sport in tne NCAA - Football? Probably not since Michigan State has been irrelevant there for many years? Any portal guys you want to send our way so they can experience winning?
English
@joelthemingway They will be out by the 2nd round of the NCAAs. Not getting all those calls, plus what they pull on the defensive/rebounding end will catch up to them quickly come tournament time.
English
You just knew the Big Ten wasn’t gonna let their sacred cow Izzo go on a 3 game losing streak and be eliminated from conference title contention. What a joke. And Fears is as dirty as a player as advertised. Screw them all.
English
@Ryan_Mason23 @TheConnorPils ZDoes Hockey even count since many schools in the BIG don't participate?
English
@TheConnorPils Illinois has to be the most poverty program in the Big Ten. Are they good in any sports? Idk why they even remain in the conference at all tbh
English
I speak for the entire college basketball community when I say I have lost a lot of respect for Tom Izzo in the past 2 weeks
FOX College Hoops@CBBonFOX
"He [Jeremy Fears Jr.] proved his colors, and that's why his coach has faith in him." Steve Smith spoke with @MSU_Basketball HC Tom Izzo after the Spartans' HUGE overtime win against No. 5 Illinois.
English
@Ryan_Mason23 @TheConnorPils Wow! Rage bait post. Have you checked the Football or Basketball standings in recent years?
English
@TheConnorPils Hey man maybe you didn’t listen but Izzo called Wagler the POY and said Brad is a helluva coach. Maybe the fact a PG had 26 and 15 against you is overshadowing that. Be a sad sack loser. We don’t care
English
@TheConnorPils Izzo wants to win - plain an simple! Plus, the dirty/physical play fits right in with his playbook!
English
@colehawk23 First game where we really missed Kylan Boswell. His defense would have shut down Fears.
English
@TheFieldOf68 Quit crying! So the Big Ten should schedule based on random predictions how each team will do each year?
English
Mick Cronin after UCLA's win over No. 4 Purdue:
"I want to thank the Big Ten for giving us 5 of our first 7 on the road, and giving us the team picked to win the league on two days' rest. I really wanna thank the Big Ten for that..." 😳
English
@Joeyd51 @wischlist Is that a joke? Illini Football hasn't won like this since the Mackovic Era.
English
@wischlist I’m ready for the program to move on from Bielema. This is becoming a pattern.
English
This may be the worst performance I’ve ever seen by a talented Illini team.
