Final 4 or bust

timmyholton, COF and 312, who you got?

312

Damn, that's tough. It would be a 3 way photo finish.

I just feel so bad for the rest of the Big 10. If you guys wanna talk, hmu--I'll listen. And don't be shy; RFDC has already called me like twelve times.

Actually, RFDC, big weekend coming up. Go Hoosiers! That would be fantastic.

you gotta post more man, your one funny dude!

If Ayo is back next year, they'll be much better. They seemed to learn how to win in the second half of the season. B-villi will get better, too. He progressed nicely this season. We also have Kofi Cockburn coming in. Underwood finally has the kinds of players he wants. They should be more than watchable next season.

It's been a difficult few years. But I'll tell you this, T-Bone; the Illini are a lot closer than the goddamn White Sox.

This is what you call a) stunning analysis and b) the best of both worlds.

Turns out I was spot on when it comes to the Illini.

Turns out I was joyously wrong about the White Sox--but who would have thought they'd have a roster stocked with generational talent? That's not a prediction any man even remotely associated with reality could make--yet it happened. #2005 #ayo #mycockburns

will be best move Kofi has ever made.

I didnt mean Kentucky either. Just meant leaving Illinois

I know what you meant.

He'd be better off going back to Illinois as long as he really isn't planning to try to turn himself into Dirk Nowitzki.

There is no guard in the country that could feed him in the post like Andre Curbelo. I will stand by that statement.

Plus, with all the UofI alums in the Chicago area, he could make maybe $250-500k in endorsements in Chicago alone. Hell, I'd throw $1k his way if he comes back. He's fun to watch.

But, he's going to Kentucky. That's where Orlando Antigua is.

Antigua used to work with Calipari. He recruited Kofi.

Not sure why the other guy left exactly.

I'd heard Illinois offered them more money ultimately but I don't think that was confirmed or it was too late.

I've heard Underwood is a red ass.

I've actually heard that Underwood is the nicest guy in the world. He just looks like a red ass.

But, who knows. I don't know the guy.

They should have beaten Loyola.

Underwood shit the bed in that game. Let them run the same play over and over and over again.

Lot of things went wrong there. Ayo started to panic, I think, and tried to do too much. He'd done that through his career in the past but not last year for the most part.

They lacked the discipline that they'd shown most of the season and I put it on Underwood.

I have no idea. I heard that from people who knew Mark Smith who transferred from Illinois. So I wouldn't doubt they are biased.
