@cobag12 Hell yes. Illini fans took over and was a blast. Just cause we lose doesn’t mean it can’t be enjoyed and appreciated while still being disappointed. If you can afford to splurge on a great experience why not?

Drove 2 hours, paid $6,000 for 3 tickets, $20 a beer, just to see the end of the best Illinois season of my lifetime. I’d do it again in a heartbeat.

@spencer_m928 @cobag12 There were larger sized ones for $20

@cobag12 Beer was 12 bucks at the game. you got scammed snob

@ChuckNaso I sat in the literal last row of the stadium. Would it be easier to see the game at home on a tv? Yes. Was it worth paying hundreds of dollars to barely see in an insane environment w thousands of passionate fans? Absolutely and would again

I think regardless of result I am out on watching a Final 4 in person unless i’m in insanely close seats. Can’t see anything or hear the whistle. It’s legit a torture chamber to watch your team in.

Dear Illini, We’re proud. I am proud. I have 0 complaints. Wishing everyone the best in their futures and everyone returning we’re right back to it next season!!! #ILL

I’m not old enough to really remember ‘05. This team was responsible for my happiest memories as an Illini Basketball fan. I will always be grateful for that. ILL forever. We will be back.

The night before a day off is more satisfying than the actual day off.

@BobZuppke Seems like Bielema is out there playing chess. Outsiders see ND and Ohio State poaching our coaches making us look good, when in reality he’s shedding weak links. Saves departing coaches face and lets Illinois bring in upgrades

I refuse to believe the Henry and Discher news were anything but orchestrated by Bielema. If you nail this DC hire, you just raised the ceiling of your program significantly. Props to BB for doing the right thing.

@Jonathan_A_Hand @SteveKSnider They’ve been competing for big ten title and in the tourney every year for at least the last 5 years. Some down years under groce yes, but really not an excuse for fans to lose interest, they’ve been very good for a while

@SteveKSnider Illinois has been and eventually will get back to that level. The issue is the program went dormant for a decade so the product was sub par and the student section followed….its still a solid venue imo and the crowd is above average for home games. If they make a final 4

Every time I watch the Breslin Center crowd and the Izzone on TV I get jealous. No reason Illinois can’t have that.

@liverpxxl9 @FreddyQuinne The chocolate bar is a great analogy, things can be hard to give up because you enjoy them. That doesn’t mean it’s an addiction. If it’s so easy why doesn’t everyone eat healthy and not have any sugar, sweets, fast food? Temptation isn’t addiction

@FreddyQuinne It doesn’t. Same way a chocolate bar every week doesn’t make you a chocolate addict.

@StockChartsUP @WindyCityWxMan What would be most interesting is a heat map of season ticket holders home addresses. Doubtful could get data on all game attendees (secondary market) but season ticket holder data would exist, somewhere. .

I know many season ticket holders and ALL of them live in the northern burbs and also northwest burbs… and a couple in Norwood / Edison park area… since Arlington first begun in talks they’ve all been on board that’s the right place to be. for the season ticket holders that live downtown they can take an express train to Arlington on game days…. It just makes sense … Gary makes NO sense at all … no many south siders are season ticket holders sorry

So the #Chicago #Bears moving to Indiana is half the distance of moving to Arlington Heights from Soldier Field 13 miles to Wolf Lake 26 miles to Arlington Park grounds Indiana probably half the tax burden on the team too.

The most frustrating thing about being a Chicagoan these days is the @jewelosco app. My god.

@ALionEye Do you think Beckman may have been decent at identifying coaching talent? I wonder how much those guys were handpicked or how that came about

An update now that Alex Golesh has been named Auburn head coach. Tim Beckman's 2009 offensive staff at Toledo: Matt Campbell (OC): Iowa State head coach Scott Satterfield (QBs): Cincinnati head coach Jason Candle (TEs): Toledo head coach Alex Golesh (RBs): Auburn head coach

@EricLDaugh @grok fact check this

🚨 Holy smokes. Fox just EMBARRASSED the governor of Illinois. "Why does Chicago have the highest murder rate of big cities?" GOV. PRITZKER: We're not in the top 30...it's going down...look at the violent crime... "Here's a map...17.47 per 100K. Chicago is number one over Philadelphia, Houston, Dallas, San Antonio, Phoenix, Los Angeles, New York and San Diego." PRITZKER: ...look. You can pull statistics up...you gotta hear this. 💀💀

@SadILLfan23 @DeanMitts @JWerner247 Thanks! Go Illini!

@SullyVibe01 @DeanMitts @JWerner247 I believe it’s 650 kick

Gonna be a big-time environment tonight for #illini vs. #hoosiers

@SadILLfan23 @DeanMitts @JWerner247 Do u know if there is a start time announced? I have a “coverage will begin shortly screen”

@DeanMitts @JWerner247 Peacock

@ClayTravis This is awesome, are there versions of other schools? Who made this?

This is phenomenal.

@TheCleanCarClub Harambe

Apparently, if you can see two people kissing, you’re left-brained, and if you can see a penguin, you’re right-brained. What do you see in the ice?

The @McDonalds at @ohare forced ppl to form two lines to separate kiosks rather than one, which I had started due to being far more efficient for everyone. Why Americans can’t comprehend queuing theory is beyond me

@SleeveNashTTM Loyola was the absolute worst. Especially being in Chicagoland where Loyola was the local Cinderella story that everyone was getting behind. Would have loved to root for them but they were villains for us Illini fans

Illini fans, with March Madness right around the corner, I want to hear your most heartbreaking tourney memories.
