Unabashed Dabney Coleman fan; I like warm weather and movies from the 70's. Also love the #Cardinals, #Illini and vintage baseball cards.

DOWN GOES ILLINOIS
Shoddy refereeing and a TERRIBLE game plan from the coaching staff sees the Fighting Illini out of the tournament.
Cam Crocker deserves a ton of credit for his defensive plan this year. And UI fan should be super proud of their team, but this one must hurt.

@chrisb972 @CollegeAndMag And still, it was a way better résumé than SMU or Miami of Ohio who literally didn’t beat one ranked team. You could have yourself a seat now and show yourself out the door.
English
Another fun little twist today is seeing the “yeah fuck Auburn, they didn’t deserve to be in over Miami” takes right between the “this is bullshit, SMU lied and shouldn’t have gotten in” takes.
If SMU shouldn’t have gotten in… who should’ve taken their place???
English
@AndrewC30004688 @CollegeAndMag 17-16.
7-11 in conference
3-9 last 12
How many bad losses? Win the games you should and there is no question they are in
English
@chrisb972 @CollegeAndMag Really? Explain your rationale. You do realize that Auburn played Michigan, Arizona, Purdue, Houston, NC State, St. John’s out of conference? Nobody faced a brutal schedule like that.
English
@ESabro3 Brad Underwood could learn a thing or two from that play
English
@itsAntWright I just never saw what made him a strong candidate for the IU job in the first place.
English
A lot of DeVries talk tonight
Indiana can still sneak into the tourney with how historically weak the bubble is + bubble teams keep losing.. legit coin flip
Now he’s been through the league, we get to see how he adapts and how he forms his roster in the offseason
English
@SlimSparty @DarkoStateNews Fears is the only player in CBB who has to kick his opponent in the dick to keep from falling over…
English
@DarkoStateNews Oh stop.. U think he actually did that on purpose?? Cadeau is shoving him non stop and his body reacted.. Cadeau is the dirty one.. 2 hand shove to fears chest right in front of the ref and no call.. This Fears witch hunt is out of control
English
The criticism is absolutely fair at this point.
Enough is enough.
English
For those who haven’t watched the Big Ten for long, what Nick Boyd did today is what Boo Buie did for multiple seasons
English
@NoEscalators @TomFornelli You just described the last play of the UCLA game.
English
Also @TomFornelli do the five Illinois guys just sit on the floor motionless when the other team has the ball how is this possible
English
Great to see Andrej Stojakovic looking confident offensively
English
@itsAntWright Morez was a freshman who played plenty. Kind of a reach on that one.
English
Revisionist History
• Underutilized backup UCLA center
• Underutilized backup Illinois center
• UNC fans told the PG to kick rocks
• All offseason I heard how overrated Yaxel was on both sides of the court
i own a home@home0wner
I mean, Michigan has top players from UCLA, UNC, Illinois + someone who prob should be a rookie in the NBA right now. This is what college basketball has come to. It’s an NCAA All-Star team. So corny.
English
@jflare_ You should have cried to management in Baltimore about your catcher like you did to Willson Contreras when you sucked in St Louis.
English
You guys are so ridiculous
Sorry I didn’t pitch well for you guys
My bad for having some fun with a bad challenge

any update on a cure for cancer
The Associated Press@AP
Ever wondered why basketball players' sneakers are constantly squeaking as they run around the court? Now scientists have studied what's happening and have found the phenomenon is caused by the soft material of the soles rippling on the floor.
English
Call it rage bait, call it whatever. What is it that Illinois fans are looking for?
English
Challenge for Illinois fans. What’s your standard/expectation?
Is competing for a Big Ten title/EE what you’re looking for? Because you’re not going to win the big one with a coach who gets blown out by every blue blood and has double digit comebacks multiple teams per year.
English
@itsAntWright How bad is Petrovic if he can’t even get in the game to give Wagler a break? Hell, leave Wagler in the game but surely Petro can be the PG for a few trips down the court…
English
Keaton Wagler was +3 in 44 minutes
Meaning Illinois was -5 in the one minute he sat down
English
@WolverineCorner @itsAntWright Agree. I think the frustration comes from the bailout calls that Izzo always gets at home and OT was more of the same. Fears is awesome though
English
@itsAntWright Also imagine pretending Fears isn’t a great player lol. Just because you don’t like him doesn’t mean you have to lie about him lmao
English
@GoodmanHoops Criminal. Duke recruits once again getting no respect.
English
Sounds like the McDonald’s voting system needs a complete revamp. Again.
Bryson Howard (Duke), ranked in the top 20 by every single recruiting service, did not make the game.
Darius Bivins, who is ranked in the 80s and 90s by On3, 247 and ESPN, made it.
Bivins happens to play for Joe Wootten at Bishop O’Connell. Wootten just happens to be the chairman of the McDonald’s Selection Committee.
Also how the heck are @TravisBranham_ and @JamieShaw5 not voters? They see more recruits than just about anyone.

@GeepWadeBurner @Reecedavoice Saying Sam played like shit seems kind of harsh; you need to support these guys as they go for their first win ever in the NCAA tournament.
English
@Reecedavoice he played like shit I’ll talk more often
English
You should have kept yo mouth closed 😂🔶🔷
Case Sanderson Burner@CSBurner14
He think he done something
English
@trevorplouffe somehow on their side? One team is just buying championships
English
They have said that pretty much every time the CBA has expired. It’s always been a PR game, and right now they are winning it. They feel emboldened to go for it because public sentiment is somehow on their side.

“A 100 percent certainty” that the owners will push for a salary cap in wake of Kyle Tucker deal with the Dodgers, ownership source says. “These guys are going to go for a cap no matter what it takes." nytimes.com/athletic/69868…
English
@chrisb972 @WhityRemarks they did this shit without mark cuban. He famously has never donated to athletics until like a month ago
English
Well, its gonna be weird accepting that the only team objectively worse than us in the first 20 years of this millennium just went 16-0
Go Big Ten I guess
