IlliniKrush

WTF is SnB doing in here?

I still can't believe this happened the day before THE game. Really sad. It would be great to see Mich win it now...

QUOTE(Heads22 @ Nov 17, 2006 -> 05:52 PM) We had 13000+ paid attendance for Wayne State....so I think we could for you guys too. You know, our student section, Cyclone Alley, was advertised to us as a blatant ripoff of the Krush. Students wanting to start it here went over and talked to Krush reps. So, we're copycats. Well it's a smart way to start if you are trying to start up a sweet student section from scratch. I doubt, however, you have the charity part of Krush going? I was part of Krush for 3 years. Krush does a lot of cool stuff, but with each year it grew more into the 'thing to do' and a 'i want to be on tv' thing, and i couldn't stand it. Plus i didn't like some of the organizational changes they made. The goal is to make it hell for the other team, not dress like a whore and get on tv. I was perfectly fine in my orange shirt, illinois hat, and blue jeans, being loud and creative (knowing s*** about players on the other team is priceless, especially when you can get them to look at you). A face paint and a boa doesn't make any B10 opponent 'scared', for lack of a better word. Hate the tv whores, who aren't loud, aren't creative, aren't knowledgeable about the game. However, there are plenty of worthless fans like this at every school (please no one try to argue this), so yeah. Sounds like you guys have a nice student section going now, that's cool.

QUOTE(Heads22 @ Nov 16, 2006 -> 08:19 PM) God I want to see Iowa State play Illinois or Indiana in basketball soon. The game would easily sell out in Ames, as it would on the road, I would assume. Good out of conference for both teams, and a nice home and home at tough road venues. I think this would be cool...but only with a somewhat full squad And yes, it'd sell out at both IU or UI. You could sell out almost anything at those 2 places, let alone a Big 12 team.

LOL

QUOTE(Heads22 @ Nov 17, 2006 -> 05:13 PM) There's some people around here that thought they might win 10 games. They could be a bubble team. Kind of missed the point of my question...

QUOTE(Gene Honda Civic @ Nov 17, 2006 -> 05:06 PM) I know it's on my end.. I finally got through, but it was after 10 minutes of timeouts. I also get this occasional bug in Firefox that pulls up the search function when I use certain keys, specifically the apostrophe. My machine is run by evil gremlin gerbils smoking crack. I get the apostrophe thing as well...wtf? I usually get it to turn off by opening Word and typing an apostrophe, then going back to firefox. So you aren't the only one with gerbils

QUOTE(Heads22 @ Nov 17, 2006 -> 04:45 PM) Iowa isn't going to be as bad as people think this year, but they won't be anything special. How 'not as bad as people think' will they be? 2 banners? 4 banners?

So MSU somehow beat Texas

The Jamar injury with a 'limited' Randle injury would have me toting that line...but you're right, there's no doing that right now. Was our 'bus trip' to the final four that easy that the bball gods still aren't done taking it out on us? Cmon already.

son of a f***ing b**** First the Hawks, now Illinois wtf?

Before i even clicked the title of the thread i thought "watch it be due to anorexia" Wish it wasn't that easy

Pointing at the banners is as lame as the Bears fans talking about the 85 super bowl like it was yesterday. That s*** was a LONG time ago.

QUOTE(Jimbo @ Nov 16, 2006 -> 04:55 PM) speculation...it is bruce levine Well your question marks on the thread title led me to believe it was speculation. But someone could probably change the title a bit.

If Coop can 'fix' Aardsma, this is also a very nice insurance policy if Mac has to spend some time on the DL at some point.

LMFAO at Kansas Seriously

And they cut away with :53 left.

On ESPNNews right now. Up 7 2:22 left.

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Nov 15, 2006 -> 07:56 AM) So what about a team like ND who doesn't have a confrence? Why should they get off easy when it comes to winning their confrence like other teams have to do? I wouldn't say their schedule from year to year is getting off easy.

The Circuit City in Schaumburg that has 100 of them for a midnight launch already has more than 100 people in line.

Yeah I realize ND got torched by them, but I don't think the score is very indicative of the difference between the 2 teams. The game got out of hand early due to some costly mistakes on our part and it was over. I also don't look at margin of victory a whole lot in trying to size up how good a team is. I mean, Illinois only lost by 7 to OSU...does that mean OSU sucks? Of course not, they just had a bit of an off game, and Illinois played well. But I honestly didn't think any less of OSU after that game than I did going into it. Michigan was certainly ND's off game...and no, that doesn't mean they would have won had it not been, but IMO, Michigan is not 20+ better than ND on an every game basis. I'm one of the people that really doesn't want a rematch, and not just because ND would then have a shot. This is a semifinal game in a lot of people's minds, as it should be, being the last game of the season. I wouldn't be as excited for it as the NC. If this is the NC in theory, then so be it. But i'd rather have the winner play fla, usc, nd, etc in the NC game. In order for ND to get in, USC would have to beat Cal soundly and then ND would have to win and look pretty solid at USC. Some of the SEC teams going down would help as well. I don't see ND beating USC on the road, but we'll see what happens. The comments from Tressel are interesting...if they do lose to Mich, you won't have him talking about a rematch, and they wouldn't deserve one.

Have a great one!
