Groce had better pull in a historic 2017 class.

QUOTE (bmags @ Mar 12, 2016 -> 07:47 AM) I'm reassured that after Cruzs comments last night he is clearly more interested in governing this country than Trump. We can survive a Cruz presidency, it will be bad but we've had bad. This trump thing is just terrifying territory now. As a republican I can't disagree enough. Trump isn't a religious zealot who's threatened to eradicate major departments like Education. Now, I can agree with downsizing and shifting responsibility to state/local agencies, but still. Cruz is far scarier to me because he is probably more equipped to get things done. Trump would just be an embarassment. Embarassment doesn't change our day to day lives.

Hell yeah, let's keep it going. Destroy Purdue again.

wow, they may pull it out. Iowa. What a trainwreck.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Mar 10, 2016 -> 03:50 PM) Not being able to score easy points against that weak trap was a problem. Twice they had a guy wide open under the basket and passed it out. Playing one of the worst PG's in Big Ten history is part of the problem. They play 4-5 on offense.

Good God Groce is a f***ing moron. Why on earth is Tate in the game? edit: also the patented Groce CAN'T SCORE A f***ING BUCKET 10 MINUTE DROUGHT happened yet again. 5 pts in 10+ minutes. Pathetic.

JCL and Morgan have played really well. Even Nunn. Hill is having a rough game though. Still, 11 pt lead, 8 to go......let's go! Also, Iowa is terrible. So many unforced TO's. How did this team drop so much from 2-3 months ago?

Well, up 2 at half. I would have liked the 10-11 pt lead they had for a while there in the 1st.

Anyone grab The Division? Looked cool at E3 a couple of years ago. Haven't seen any reviews yet.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Mar 10, 2016 -> 12:41 PM) Here's the relevant Illinois tax code: ftp://www.ilga.gov/JCAR/AdminCode/086/086001300C03110R.html I'm guessing this bill is to modify section c) 3), which lists items that are not considered "grooming and hygiene products" and qualify for the reduced tax rate of 1% versus the general 6.5%? I don't know about calling it discriminatory but it seems like a pretty trivial tax code matter and not particularly ludicrous? Calling it discriminatory and a "pink tax" is ludicrous. But regardless, there shouldn't be an exception to any of that stuff. Tax the piss out of it. We gotta pay for free college and healthcare somehow.

This is ludicrous. http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/local/b...0310-story.html

So maybe Tim Spencer isn't leaving the Bucs... FootballScoop Staff ‏@FootballScoop Contrary to a report, sources tell FootballScoop Tim Spencer is not leaving Tampa Bay http://FootballScoop.com/the-scoop

I'm debating whether to grab season tickets. I know they'll be bad again next year, but still...

Sounds like Nickerson is in. How about that...Lovie is the first AA at Illinois and Illinois will now be the only school in the country with AA's at HC, OC and DC.

According to Twitter - "Lovies first non #Illini follow is a 5 star DE verbal commit of #Iowa. Strong move Lovie. I like it!"

Can. Not. Wait. http://www.hitfix.com/motion-captured/cers...game-of-thrones

A+ press conference. Gotta say, I'm super pumped. I feel like I did the day we got Cutler, Peavy....oh wait. Hope this one works out!!

What I like most is that we finally have an AD that gives a s*** about football. It's been a long, long time. Like late 80's long. I think Illinois football is like 60-160 in that time span. Pathetic.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Mar 7, 2016 -> 09:08 AM) Howard Griffith called M&H this morning and he was talking about the facilities, he said there are end tables in the football facility that have been there since he was in the program. Yeah that's pretty pathetic given they just renovated the stadium/facility.

Reminder that it snowed into April last year and maybe the year before...

Lot of big names at the top of the leader board at Doral. Should be a fun weekend.

Man in the High Castle was disappointing, especially after the first episode. The world was set up and displayed so beautifully, it's a shame the story/characters sucked. I'm glad I watched it, and i'm sure i'll watch season 2, but i'm sad it isn't better. Has the chops to be a great, great series.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Mar 2, 2016 -> 01:38 PM) F*ck that. Fire his ass, murder Paxson, and let's get some folks in here who didn't recently graduate from Clown College. Name some replacements.
