I'd rather have Illinois know about it and our guys not. Looking ahead of anything but this game and the next play wouldn't be a great thing. Of course, I'd trust our guys not to do that.
No dogs allowed on the island. They've recently re-introduced wolves, apparently the population died off after a visitor's dog spread an illness to the wolves that were there naturally.
Isle Royale is one of the most "untouched" wilderness areas in the US. There are trails and camps, but it's pretty wild. It was a difficult trek, we covered around 70 miles in seven days. Lots of elevation change, all rock. Awe inspiring views constantly! Carry everything you need for a week. It's remote enough that cell signal is rare. And even if you could call for help in an emergency (cell or satellite), it would be hours to days before anyone could get to you. It was neat to see the scouts be completely disconnected from the constant phone use.
One of the most fascinating areas (to me anyway) is the "moose exclusion zone." Once the moose migrated over, a park ranger noticed how dramatically they were impacting the island, eating all the Canadian yew. So they put up posts and a high fence in one area, to show what it was like before the moose showed up. Stupid moose, always ruining everything... We saw four moose total, over the week. They are impressive! Last night on the island, I was walking from camp to get water, and a bull was standing on the main trail, probably 30-40 feet from where the camp trail joined the main. Waaaaaay too close - they're huge, aggressive, and have bad eye sight. We also saw a cow swim across one of the lakes - how does an animal that big and clumsy looking swim so fast???
Been like this all year. The computers say the Cyclones are legit, and the "experts" are slow to catch on.
Sounds awesome but I don't go on hikes without my dog. Too dangerous alone.
Reading the Wikipedia on Brad Underwood, it almost sounds like reaching the sweet 16 is his ceiling. Also he had trouble at his previous stops and now looks like it has followed him to Illini. About the only difference between him and Fran is 1. He actually reached the Sweet 16. 2. He can beat Fran. I agree with the post that said his career is boring. If I went solely on his write up on Wikipedia, I would say Iowa State can handle them.
I think we'll all have RagingCloners if San Diego St. pulls it off, in addition to your bank account giving you one.
The Big 12 has to work harder for their top seeds than the Big 10. Illinois is a case in point. A couple of years ago, they lost 6 games, but were given a No 1 seed based solely on them being a Big 10 champion. Illinois lost in the round of 32 to Loyola-Chicago, who lost their next game to Oregon State, who lost their next game to Houston. That has to be one of the weakest No. 1 seed performances in the last 10 or 15 years.
I want to play UConn. When we win the whole thing, if we don't play UConn, some numbskulls will say, "But they didn't play UConn who was the best team in the country that year."
