So I haven’t blogged in 22 days. I took a little break. I’ve had a pretty busy schedule. I wrote this blog post up in Costa Rica so there is your proof. Also I was a little bit sad after our top 2 head coach options turned us down. Then we finally did get a…
Uh oh. According to the Chicago Sun-Times and CBS Sports Shaka Smart turned down our offer for 2.5 million dollars. Uh oh. We pursued him hard. He turned down. Too bad we did all we could. But I was depending on this. I thought Shaka Smart was really going to be Illinois next head coach.…
Should I root for these guys? I don’t know. It is kind of hard not too. I mean don’t you want to see them in the Final Four again? But then we have lots of competition for Smart. He was wearing an orange and blue tie against Wichita St! Man these guys are screwing up…

It’s over. We might not make the NIT. We have officially lost our season. When you lose to Nebraska by 30 it’s bad. And it’s very bad if your Illinois. So over the week I have just thought of a bunch of stuff. And also I was at a water park. Playing in a hockey…
We are on CBS. Just please don’t get blown out. Make a game out if this. I don’t know why I like to make blog posts less than an hour before the game. But here I am writing my first post since Tuesday. And a lot of thoughts went through my head all this week.…
Thanks for the great comment Colin. You have actually given me an idea. I daydream us being elite. I daydream Brandon Paul and Meyers Leonard being one of the best 1-2 punch in all of basketball. What ever happened to Illinois Basketball? What happened? Top 10 job in the country. Gone. Best team never to…
