    Holy crap....... the average price per ticket in Carver was $650

    As I thought, basically Lebron is the only basketball player on the planet that even compares to CC's draw. https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/wnba/2025/05/06/caitlin-clark-indiana-fever-espn-tv-ratings-preseason/83478304007/

    Predict 2025 Spring Version

    For the sake of argument, let's say that Gronowski's game translates and he is the playmaker at QB that he was at SDSU. Accurate throws, moves in the pocket, makes plays with his feet as needed. I think it is fair to say that the skill positions players are good, but not great. I don't see...

    Comparing Portal Positions Of Outgoing With Incoming Players

    Right? What talented PG wouldn't want to play in a free flowing system where you have ample opportunities for shots and assists?

    Comparing Portal Positions Of Outgoing With Incoming Players

    Personally, I think the talent pool is similar between incoming and outgoing. The variable that tips things in favor of the current squad is Stirtz. That dude is legit at a position that Fran could almost never get right.

    Are we back?

    When guys are posting regularly on this site, the dialogue is generally intelligent and respectful.

    McCollum Interview

    While I think we could go to battle with what we have, it does feel like we are a back up PG and rotational Big short.

    Are we back?

    Last I heard Jon was unable to meet the overvalued price that the website owner wanted. That was a few months back. Rob signed off for good around that time as well. Since then, no real news. I just cannot imagine this site is worth much given the limited traffic and a dying business model...

    Holy crap....... the average price per ticket in Carver was $650

    The Clark effect is beyond comprehension. If you had posted on this board 4 years ago that a exhibition WNBA game would sell 15k tickets, people would drive hundreds of miles to attend, and pay $700 a ticket, we would have laughed you out of the building. How many other players on the planet...

    Leave it to Illinois to bring European pro-ballers to college basketball

    Its not up to the kids to understand this concept, but the old saying that Pigs get Fat, Hogs get Slaughtered, applies here. These kids absolutely deserve to make money for a product that they are an integral part, but if the pendulum swings too far and the sport no longer is legitimate, it...

    Leave it to Illinois to bring European pro-ballers to college basketball

    Somewhat serious question. Could Lebron James, who has never played a minute of college basketball, retire from the NCAA, enroll at Akron to get his degree, and play for the (I think it is Zips?)? How long is it before washed out NBA guys who did not exhaust eligibility crawl back to college...

    Leave it to Illinois to bring European pro-ballers to college basketball

    As the lack of guardrails festers, inequities like this will continue to degrade college sports to the point where fans walk away. I don't blame the coach. He is following what few rules remain in place and is competing aggressively. But, at some point, college athletics is just going to be a...

    One Of McCollum’s Assistants Is…

    Gatens would have been the natural hold over and it would have happened immediately to try and claw back any of the existing players that had put into the portal. When he wasn't named an assistant right away, I could see the writing on the wall there. McCollum doesn't have much of a...

    Pat Fitz

    By all accounts, Fitz had no knowledge at all about the hazing. He was terminated under the captain of the ship doctrine, and frankly, it was probably the right thing to do. The University had to take action, but again, there is no evidence he had any knowledge as to what some of his sicker...

    Pat Fitz

    On the one hand, I hate Campbell because he is a good coach who has elevated one of our rivals and little brother in the state. On the other hand, stealing him away from ISU would strengthen us and weaken them and add juice to the rivalry. So, I guess I am in. That said, can't see it ever...
