Fighting Illini reaction

That Illinois team is pretty good. They were right in it 3/4 of the game and we were not playing poorly.

Please fire John Groce. Whoever the next Ad will be.

I was pretty nervous going into that one. They have a lot of talent and seem well coached.

I was told by someone at the game they thought it was Monte's mom or someone in his family.

I would feel bad having to kill a family member if his but it may have to be done.

I specifically banned my family from being like that when I was playing sports. I told them that if they were the parents in the crowd that were loud, annoying, yelling at the coaches or anything of the sort they wouldn't be coming to watch me play. They behaved despite me not really being able to enforce that rule until I got to ISU and could withhold my free tickets from them lol.

I didn't realize they were short handed for the Chattanooga game. Explains a lot. For the first game with their lineup - they're a good team - could be a real rpi booster for us.

Im predicting they finish 4th behind msu, Maryland, and Wisconsin (yes i think Wisconsin pulls it together when they get in the crappy b10 )

Purdue will be in the top 4

Unfortunately, my grandson and I sat right in front of the screamer, about half way thru the first half, my 12 year old grandson asked me if it was alright to turn around and tell her to shut-up. I told him no, but I almost did it myself! She had a passion for telling the refs how to do their jobs, I should of suggested she move to the front row so the refs would be able to hear her.

It was very interesting that after the lob dunk by Nadar it was like George and Monty decided to take over the game and they did and we pulled away. It was fun to watch.

In person Illinois looked very good when that big center was in the game. He stays healthy they will cause real problems for Big 10 teams.

Was she a blonde curly haired girl?

Good to see our guys get a few challenges early in the season. These games provide valuable knowledge for conference play.

It was a darn good ball game, good comments by their fans. Glad we won I'm guessing both teams improved because of this game.

Is it normal for a fanbase to be so obsessed with what others think of their team? We hang on every word we read in the press, on other teams' message boards, etc. When are we going to start acting like we have a legit top 5 team and one of the better cbb programs in recent years?

this post is just stupid, there is no need for an answer to your questions

Our inferiority complex is unrivaled.

We are a little obsessed around here. I can't argue that

I was reading the comments on espn after the game report. They were saying the Illini coach was totally incompetent.

Just saying, no dog in the hunt.

I went in to desktop mode to like this and it disappeared on me, so here's a mobile like.

From what the conversations I've had with other Illinois fans is that they aren't happy with Groce so anything that happens negatively gets overblown. They are cautiously optimistic about this Illinois team, but the next loss will probably establish Groce as the scapegoat again for some of their more vocal fans. That's at least what I gather, but there are some fans here that are more intimate with the situation.
