Is OSU wearing their white or gray uniforms or will they wear red like that one time Wisconsin did and we couldn’t tell the teams apart.Okay, serious griping time...
Why is it not "Paint the Hall Orange!?!?!?"

Yep, should have beaten Ridgeway but Browning for Ridgeway scored 45 points in the game. Anderson was a freshman and only started because our 6-4 forward Gary Park hurt his knee in football earlier in the year.Tracey Anderson / Kevin Washington......?
Why does this clip always make me feel better? Am I a bad person?))View attachment 15603

Sorry for the poor quality, Iphone capture of TV replay. I think the officials got the call right. Now I'm off to wash my hands out with soap for even typing that.Does anyone have a clip of the play? At the time, I thought it was just a finger to the eye or even a contact issue.
I had thought the same thing. I thoroughly it looked like a finger nicked his cornea. I clearly didn’t see it correctly.Does anyone have a clip of the play? At the time, I thought it was just a finger to the eye or even a contact issue.
Might be right, but it almost looks like he brought that left elbow through with a little extra effort. Hard to call a flagrant based on that view though.Sorry for the poor quality, Iphone capture of TV replay. I think the officials got the call right.

I'd guess that we go with our white '79 script unis and they wear road red (coincidentally, they have script throwback jerseys that date exactly to '79 as well.)Is OSU wearing their white or gray uniforms or will they wear red like that one time Wisconsin did and we couldn’t tell the teams apart.
What time do gates open now? I know at one time it was an hour and a half before the game, does that still appy?First home game of the year for me. Gonna be wearing orange and fired up!
We've been sportin' the Orange, and I propose that switching to Blue would be bad Juju.I hope we wear throwback "Fighting Illini" blues
I love photos from this era of basketball. It looks like they're playing in a hollowed-out JCPenney. I can smell the ashtrays and polyester.
That old Iowa Field House was something else. I was there for a football game in 2003 and took a look. It's still standing. Same with Jennison Field House @ MSU, where the Spartans played through the '80s, which was and remains primarily an indoor track arena. As if the Illini played basketball in the Armory:I love photos from this era of basketball. It looks like they're playing in a hollowed-out JCPenney. I can smell the ashtrays and polyester.
Speaking of ashtrays and polyester, here are some photos from the final game in Iowa Field House in 1982 v. Minnesota, for the Big Ten title. With Lute Olson at the helm, Iowa shanked it in 3OT and the Gophers won. A little Randy Breuer / Trent Tucker Gopher action in the second one. I love how the men in the courtside seats are wearing jackets and ties, and sitting with their hands folded on their laps, as if they're at the symphony.

Holy heck! Get well soon, RJ! This season has been absolutely wild.
Yikes. Get well asap, RJ. Who had RJ/appendicitis on his/her 2021-22 Illini crazy injury/illness/malaise bingo card?
