JFC you talk about reading comprehension. I never “compared” them to Illinois. Surprised Spark doesn’t see the point I was making, not surprised you don’t. I merely made the point that as Illinoisans we take notice of even the shitty programs if they are doing well. You are doing some quality ankle-biting today. Keep it up.

Actually you did compare them to Illinois.

How dare you levy such harsh criticisms. Did NU and DePaul not miss on him, too?

I saw the point you were making, which was why I used your exact examples to show you were actually proving my point.

You immediately started shrieking about how I was "comparing" the programs, when in fact I simply took the schools you used as examples and used them as examples.

I also offered my own example, North Carolina, which you have yet to even acknowledge.  You didn't mind me "comparing" us to them.

Come on, you know that was when he was trying to pretend that's what I was saying.  He was not saying that.

Was it dishonest to pretend I was doing that?  Yeah, of course.  But don't pretend that's Tempo "comparing" the programs.  That's the same stupid shit he's doing to me.

That there’s a reasonable expectation he has real interest in the U of I. Controversial take, I know.

Never said it was controversial at all, another thing you made up.

I have said, in fact, that it sounds like he did.

I simply don't know why that 'real interest' hasn't panned out, and neither do you.  We can speculate as to why, which you've done all day, or we can admit we simply don't know and don't have any way to know, which I've done all day.

The first mention was his comment: "Did NU and DePaul not miss on him, too?" The "too" part refers to Illinois.

Nah, the first mention was to say that he follows those schools peripherally because he's from Chicagoland.

It was in relation to RayJ surely having people around him that follow Illinois basketball at least peripherally.

That's why I used his exact examples - he follows Northwestern basketball peripherally, but that wouldn't affect his kid's transfer decision if it were between Northwestern and some other school with less scope or brand visibility.  However, that's very different than this situation with RayJ and Illinois, because of the relative strength of the programs I guess.  He thinks the fact that RayJ probably had people around him that were into the Dee Brown team when he was a toddler means it's fair to assume he should've been ours, and that's different than the Northwestern/DePaul situation he brought up because it's Illinois.

Hilarious. You’ve misrepresented what  I say and hyperbolized it over and over. And that’s just in the past few pages.

Sorry for defending you, I guess.

Careful with the word “should’ve.” As I said previously, toe stubbings happen. Doesn’t mean no one sees them, they aren’t painful or embarrassing. And god forbid Underwood get even a tiny bit of criticism over losing a local kid whose never played at a high major.

Then pull the quote. According to the Search function, that was his first mention of "DePaul" in connection with this guy. Before that, he used the term 'local teams." You made a comment, then he compared Illinois to NU and DePaul on missing out on this guy.
