March 29, 200521 yr I figured since there wasn't a thread yet, might as well start one. This would be a great place to post links on stories leading up to Saturday and also talk about the games. Early lines have ILL favored by 2.5 and UNC by 5. Here is a link from the C-J on U of L as they prepare for their toughest test to date against the Fighting Illini. Pitino still looking for weak Illini link

Good Mr. Good, just glad to hear that sons and co. have been doing well. Hopefully we'll see you around more often now that the season is about to start. We've certainly missed your entertainment value around here.

March 30, 200521 yr Check this out: Currently Krush and the Izzone (and other assorted fans) are working on a "T Shirt Swap" that will take place before the games saturday. What we want to accomplish is the Izzone to wear orange during our game, and we'll switch over to green during MSU's game. Both message boards love this idea. People are hammering out the details right now. Would be sweet if it happened.
March 30, 200521 yr Just an FYI for all illini that didn't suck a dick to get their FF tickets IF illini win on saturday, Assembly will be open to the public on monday for everyone to watch the game in there. Saturday, it can't be open because of a garden show. Yes a garden show.
March 30, 200521 yr LMAO Yes I heard about that garden show, I was like wow are you f***ing kidding me.

March 30, 200521 yr QUOTE(WHarris1 @ Mar 29, 2005 -> 09:26 PM) Krush--you post on illiniboard? I read much much more than i post, but i'm Krush18 when i do chime in. Illiniboard is full of pricks that just like to attack people.
March 31, 200521 yr Just picked up my final four tickets...was offered $1,200 for them right after picking them up. They sure don't know me too well.

March 31, 200521 yr man $1200 could buy a nice TV to watch me the game on, i know its hard to pass that up but illinois in the final 4 should be worth it
March 31, 200521 yr After being at last Saturdays game there isn't a damn thing in the world I would sell FF tix for if I had them. The atmosphere is just unexplainably incredible.

It may never happen again for any of my teams the rest of my life. No matter how great the TV...you still aren't there.
March 31, 200521 yr i know im not selling my tickets but i was discussing with my boss how eaily you could make a killing by getting a bunch of tickets and selling them for that price
March 31, 200521 yr If i had 10 tickets, then yes i would probly sell some extras, obviously. But i have one ticket.
April 1, 200521 yr QUOTE(Palehosefan @ Mar 31, 2005 -> 10:46 PM) Worst scouting report ever? http://michiganstate.scout.com/2/365103.html I could not see anything besides the opening paragraph. The rest was in a premium area. What did you have a problem with?

There are more things wrong with that scouting report than you could imagine. It has Felton=to Neitzel when Felton is clearly better. They have Jawad Williams as a SG to name a couple of glearing errors. They also have Marvin Williams as a starter when he isn't one.
April 1, 200521 yr I'll be at Brothers. Let's not look past Louisville, we should have one hell of a game on our hands. I'm counting down the hours.
