Illinois Fighting Illini (you'll see)

Wrong grasshopper. The problem is that you're not forging new territory.
The katana wielded by highly trained knights was perhaps the most advanced bladed weapon ever conceived.
Yet it was rather useless against ~3000 untrained peasants who felled ~10,000 armored knights with barely a whimper at Nagashino.

Also, who the pumpkin decides to record themselves watching this? If there is anything sadder than watching a 17-year kid announce which college he will attend (no judgement here - I've done it before, will do it again) - it's recording yourself watching a 17-year kid announce which college he will attend.

It kinda feels like maybe these clowns have all recorded the live announcement and are now just seeing who can the most views for their supposed reaction.
Says the guy who jerks off while watching videos of himself jerking off.

Illini recruiting train keeps steamin' down the tracks. Picked up the following 2 commits in the last couple of days...

2* #127 OLB (Best offers: UCF, Virginia)
2* NR JUCO DT (Other Offer Utah State)

Man, in the past couple years, they've gone from claiming they have a shot at EVERYONE, to this...


Like his size, and Florida 2* recruits seem to have high ceilings.

Congrats and welcome to Illini Nation!

2 stars have higher ceilings in Florida! :booyah:

Looking at their commit list, I can safely say there's not one player I'd be interested in adding to this class, let alone replacing anybody we currently have.

Things are rolling in Champanya. 3 of the 4 major recruiting services ranked the Illini 13/14 (including MD/Rutgers) in the B1G recruiting rankings and the other dead last. General consensus is that if they don't get to 6-6 this year -- and good luck with that -- Beckman will be gone.

On the basketball front, their boards have turned on Groce and are littered with Groce replacement threads.

Couldn't happen to a nicer bunch.
