The author does add this to the end of the post.

“Yes, this is for social media engagement. No, this isn’t the only type of post I’ll be doing anymore. No, Juwan is never beating Illinois. I promise I’ll write something Actually Good this week.“

I just thought it was funny. Don’t know how accurate it is. I’ve probably never been this disengaged from Illini Basketball. Not since I lived out of state in the mid to late 90s anyway.

It's wild that you were engaged throughout the Weber and Groce years more than you were when we finally became a good program again.

The article was so stupid that I'm kinda shocked even a free, volunteer staff type site would put their byline on it.  Someone wasted time writing it, and I wasted time reading it.

You read an article that Tempo linked. That's on you.

I was pretty hyped the 1 seed year. But I fear I may have fell for the banana in the tailpipe.

The article was obviously posted for comedic effect (by the author). Maybe we should lighten up a little. I posted it hoping someone would find it funny. I should’ve known better.

This is how I feel nowadays. It would be nice if they are good. Rather than hoping and putting energy into it.

Well yeah, it wasn't funny.  I get that it was trying to be, it just failed at that goal - and the result was a complete waste of time and bytes to write and read.

I think the fact that you were more engaged when we were bad than when we became good again says more about you than the program.

That article was targeted for the people you make fun of here. I’m surprised you don’t find some humor in it.

How is this not at least somewhat amusing. Because it’s true. This is what’s been said on Illini forums.

[It’s just the same story as every year in the Brad Underwood era, they blame departing players and talk about how much better the new guys are! Before it was Skyy Clark’s fault, it was Andre Curbelo’s fault, and before his it was Ayo Dosunmu’s, and before that it was Andres Feliz’s fault that Illinois didn’t win a single game in the 2020 NCAA Tournament!]

I'm not offended by it at all, I just like my comedy to have a bit of humor in it.
