yeah games these days are so frickin easy compared to 20 years ago

I do feel quite fortunate to have a still functioning PS3 so I can play the greatest college bball game ever made, definitely provided me quite a bit of  enjoyment while everything was/is shut down
Yeah, these days, it’s “Game Over. You lost. Now go back to where you were literally 30 seconds ago with all of your equipment and a full life bar.” Kids these days couldn’t handle the shit I had to go through!

Ok I’ll try and reserve future questions until after I’ve watched the videos.

Rob, are you the only one posting these type of Illini videos on YouTube? At least in a timely manner?

I don't know how everybody uses their materials. I think the TV stations probably chop off little sound bites in the usual fashion. I assume the paywall sites load some portion behind their paywalls.

I use them to create radio pieces, too. And so do the wdws people, usually Scott these days and Steve Kelly in the past. The print/web journalists spend an hour transcribing/pulling their hair out.

About 10 years ago, some guy got credentialed for a season. I remember "312" in the name of the entity. I remember nothing else.

He started recording and uploading the postgame press conferences. It had never occurred to me before. He wasn't there the next year.

Then, when I had a camera that could record digital video (probably the little pink one Heather got for a birthday) I made a video called The Mike Davis Mechanism.  I uploaded it to the Smile Politely YouTube channel, and put it in a story.

When I next signed on to that channel, there was a message that said "hey, why don't you monetize this video?" It had 6k views, mostly from the Scorat. So I created my own YouTube channel.

Things change every year in covering the team. Some things are closed off now. Some things  are better. When I started, they handed out a schedule of media availabilities on Media Day. Nobody told me there was a weekly luncheon. The newspaper guys weren't eager for disruption from websites. Now we get an email the day in advance.

I expect another close game.  Hopefully, no OT.

Geez, that would be awful. Everybody around country bitches about not enough gameplay, and we then go fuck the dog when we have these easy games that would help us develop a bench, and also hopefully get Curbelo's head out of his ass. We need to beat these guys by 25. They are terrible.

I would think after that colossal goat-fuck in Nebraska they'd want to come out and beat these guys handily.

This has that 30 point romp type of feel to it.   We need a game like that.

I'd love to see a 25 point ass whooping.  But, I was looking at their recent results, which have included a lot of close losses.
-3 at Penn State
-8 Rutgers
-5 Purdue
-3 Indiana
