Nah I just want a Big Ten Championship. Liddell not playing = better chance we win the game = better chance we win the conference.
Exactly. I will never understand when someone says ' I want to beat them at their best'. I don't care because if it was the reverse they wouldn't care. I want to win, don't care what's going on with the other team. That's their problem not ours.

Not gonna lie I forgot it was an orange out.....so we will probably see the orange jerseys....and I am now torn on following the crowd and wearing orange or my superstitions and wearing blue....dang sports.
Blue can go under. But should be orange on top

I was engaged to a woman from Paducah. Her and her family were all Kentucky basketball fans and Alabama football fans. Would have been my worst nightmare, dodged a bullet there. 😅
My wife is an immigrant but lived in Michigan prior to our meeting and marriage. I made it very clear there would be NO rooting for Michigan in our house. (she let me win this argument, which makes one for 36 years lol) She has a Michigan coffee cup that she is only allowed to use when no Illinois sports are in action.

I’ve run that track on on more than one occasion. Loved running in the Armory.

Iowa state also played basketball at their armory until the 70s. There were so many classics played there, especially those Iowa State-Kansas games. Wilt Chamberlain loved playing there because it was so loud. He said the hostile environment fired him up.

It would be fun if the Illini did a full throwback game at Huff. Premium tickets but I’d pay it. That environment would be awesome!
They would need to bring in a basketball floor since they now have one made specifically for volleyball in Huff.

You absolutely ruined this with the boiled cabbage. A nice sautéed or roasted veg would be a much better option.

Seen a lot of predictions saying we end up pairing up with Kentucky. Man would I love to see that. But, by god, we must start addressing the issue that we (SOMEHOW!?!?!) have with this team and our lack of rebounding. The way you beat Kentucky this year is simple. Rebound. Our guards will outplay them, but gotta keep Tshiebewe off the boards.

I'd find a way to "accidentally" break that cup, friend 😂

Turns out the one I did marry was a closet Duke fan. So we get both the B10N and ACCN. Go figure. 🙃

Properly seasoned it can be awesome. My wife is Korean so I have eaten more cabbage prepared in more ways than you can imagine lol.
I started seasoning it with bacon in addition to my special sauce and it is a favorite with me and NL # 3 ..................it really really is ..............

Woodford Reserve
Jim Beam Black
Jack Daniels

Nice selection, I enjoy all of those. Love bourbon and scotch both. Unfortunately for my waistline, I am fond of most forms of alcohol. Anyone remember the original Jack Daniels Green label? That is basically now regular black label Jack Daniels, which used to be 90 proof, then dropped to 86, and is now a measley 80 proof.

Lou-Do definitely pulled off the orange jacket/ tie combo best of all. If my old memory serves (and it rarely does), wasn’t there a small town shop (Arthur? Tuscola?) that custom made his threads?


Arthur, IL - Delbert's clothing. Unfortunately been closed for a few years now (pre-pandemic)

I am pumped for the game tonight. Doesn't matter if Liddel plays or not, we roll these boys big time. I will be there early to check out Bellos'
new haircut.
