Gotta say, the Illini fans coming to this board have been great all in all. Hope you all decide to stick around. I just think they're getting caught up a bit in the Chicago media trying to prove themselves with a big story, jumping the gun, and then backtracking over it to save face. I don't know the Illini beat squids enough, but I would assume the competition is pretty fierce over there so everyone wants to get ahead with the big story to make that big jump and get some credibility on the beat. Almost seems like when Hines let out his big hotel spending saga story. Squids gonna squid.
But I also love conspiracy theories so what the hell do I know? THT to Xavier would just make this all the better. But I still think everything that we've seen to this point means an ISU commitment tonight. Quote me when I'm 100% wrong on all counts.
