Goddamn sometimes stuff like this pops up and it really puts into perspective what a clown show that was Illinois athletics for the better part of 15 years. I repressed a lot of those memories.

My favorite is when Weber said he kicked Self's butt in two games but Self won a game

Or at Kansas St when he was talking about West Virginia and said "they make you play basketball"

So, the I Fund fella said he was wondering the same thing about a 2004-05 reunion. Said he had not heard anything. Told him he may want to bring it up!

It is obvious we need Jasn on that wall.....

It is unbelievable they have nothing planned for that team....
Title: Re: 20 years
Post by: ThePAMan on January 28, 2025, 02:14:34 PM
Yet, they did have one planned over Christmas for the 83-84 B1G Reg Season Co-Champs. My friend who was a walk on that season went to that one.

Maybe they’re waiting for the 25th year.

Will Underwood be our coach in 5 years? Brad not Tyler

I give it 3 years

I think lack of NCAA tourney success leads him out on a mutual agreement

I actually think it was mid-December 2023...against Colgate. Damn.

I would wager anything that if he’s gone in 3 years it won’t be because of NCAA tourney results.

How is Cory Bradford's jersey not up there?
The serious answer is that they made "objective" criteria for the jersey thing, which Kofi and TSJ meet as consensus AAs and Bradford doesn't. The criteria are kind of dumb but work to set a firm borderline.

Cory Bradford was great but I’ve never once  thought he should have his jersey in the rafters.

If Brad would have given Mark Smith 3-5 more minutes, his jersey probably would be in the rafters.
