wtf is going on here Bread? I mean 1-6 in their last 7 games, 3-8 in their last 11. Started off 12-0, including dumping Butler by 17, and beating the team by double digits that L I T E R A L L Y beat half of the Big 12 in the non-con.
I would like to see a pie chart of blame, and how much is oscar, how much is Groce, how much is players.

people use half a crutch word all the time too so he had to use the other literally crutch to make sure we knew that seriously we were for real talking about half. the two crutches add out.
-
ok well, if i said "they beat half the big 12" that sounds like an exaggeration. in this case it's not though. the zags literally beat half of the big 12.
-
If Groce holds a funeral for oscar, oscar should hold a baby shower for new ksu oscar 2.0

SkinnyBenny and I will start a revolution and make life unbearable for this board. All things must be cleansed through fire.

I hate poor grammar as much as Skinny Benny. Using the word "literally" the way it is rough ridin' intended to be used has nothing to do with grammar, but way to ignore the point of the rough ridin' original post. JFC.

we really need a PI fest around here.

i don't think 42 LITERALLY ignored the point of your thread, mocat

I thought it was an appropriate use of "literally".

This thread is literally putting me to sleep.

I think he did, and now it's a lost cause until Bread stops by.

I mean you could actually be literally sleeping on a KSU bus rolling around like different parts of campus right now like you're totally a stud or something.

Illini people don't care at all.
In other Illini news, we're getting a new logo. They held a competition where students submit what they've got and everyone votes on the best one. I like this one:

Well, IL does literally suck (not literally, the usage that means they are bad)
-
This is what I know about Illinois from their message boards and hearing their fans talk:
-They started strong, because they shot really really well, and John Groce was obviously a better coach than #oscar.
-Teams figured out their schtick, big 10 season came and defenses knew how to defend them, then all of a sudden it was #oscar's fault again, can't blame Groce.
-Ok, maybe Groce really sucks too, but he can recruit! (ed. note, same recruiting success as #oscar past 3 seasons).

ILLiterarlly
goEMAW.com users sick of discussing the word "literally", Illinois basketball

Yup. And he's none too happy about it either.

bread, i sat next to some illinois folk in ORD the other day, and they saw my emaw hat and were all like "i really wish we still had oscar, the press just wasn't fair to him".
TLDR: i met some illinois tucks.

Man, Illinois fans are in a complete mindfuck right now.

Last game I went to at the Fred was fall 2000 against Billy selfs fightin illini.
-
At Illinois the last year of Asbury. I remember listening on radio and I believe we wore black Reebok unis. Final was 81-48.
Then in Wooly's first year at home, lost 76-56.
-
I must be rough ridin' dense because I thought mocat was saying we lost to them this year, that Illinois played/beat 5 Big 12 teams this year.
-
No I said that Illinois beat the team (Gonzaga) by double digits that beat 5 Big 12 teams this year in the non-con.
-
Ahhh thanks :facepalm:

i think/thought lou henson brought the illini to the ood prior to that

there are literally dozens of empties for this EMAFI home game vs the #1 team the country, is the honeymoon already over for Groce?

pop that motherfucking collar Mr. Bread.

Sorry internet friends. Super busy work week, so I missed the thread at the outset. This IU win doesn't really move me all that much considering the 3-7 conference record. If they manage to scratch out 5 more wins and make the tourney then I'll be back in. I don't see it though. The game was a blast to watch, but my ass is still fearsome raw about how shitty they've been, not just lately but last season too. Still big night at the Bread household. Mrs. Bread got back from a business trip today, Mr Bread won a big case and the Illini beat #1. :excited:

Bread's a litigator as well? Sheesh no wonder he fit in right from the get-go.

Mr Bread has made Illinois my second favorite university.

That was a great job slipping the screen with Indiana's full denial defense on the last play. Didn't look like that was even one of the primary options, but the kid read it and cut to the rim.

“The coaches never gave up on us,” senior guard Brandon Paul said. “They want to see us succeed. They said, we’ve had this rough stretch but gotta fight through it. No one on the team gave up on each other.”
[...]
“Don’t give in,” Paul said. “Don’t let what outsiders say affect us. I think that’s definitely been in our minds. A lot of people doubted us when we went through that rough stretch. [Groce's] a guy with unbelievable energy. He comes in every day and he gives us the passion to want to compete and get better every day. That’s something you need in a coach.”
[...]
“It’s a whole different staff, whole different team, whole different attitude,” Richardson said. “Everything’s different. This team is no comparison to last year.”

The writer (Jon Greenberg, ESPNChicago; never heard of him) of the article that that article cites was really out to slam oscar. For example:
It's long since time to give up the ghosts of failures of Illinois teams past.
"It's a whole different staff, whole different team, whole different attitude," Richardson said. "Everything's different. This team is no comparison to last year."
Not quite. It is basically the same team, just with different coaches and no NBA center in Meyers Leonard. But change was good for Illinois.
You can say a lot about oscar's tenure at Illinois that is validly derogatory, but the way those players absolutely gave up and quit on him isn't one of them. It was rough ridin' pathetic on their part, oscar or no oscar. They did it again this year and got all bitchy in the press about everybody doubting them. People tend to doubt you when you're proven quitters. Imagine that.

Glad they turned it around Bread.

what do illinois fans say instead of go cats?
-
great question clams. I would guess GO 'NI! but that sounds like the plural form of the already plural "gonads". who knows
-
what do illinois fans say instead of go cats?
They yell out "I-L-L" then they yell out "I-N-I." They spell loudly basically.

How long has Illinois done the spelling thing? I think Missouri may have stolen it from you.
-
Soar with the eagles, ONCE A WEEK!

we spell loudly too, K-S-U, then yell WILDCATS loudly
then spell loud and slow, then just yell WILDCATS loudly.

That's not really spelling. It's an acronym.
-
great point 33, we yell the letters K, then S, then U loudly
-

They also yell GO ILLINI or LET'S GO ILLINI or COME ON ILLINI. All loudly and with exuberance.

No. They (mostly coaches) make reference to Illini Nation a lot though. Our student section is called the Orange Krush.

Has Illinois ever in the past or in the present played BB's "Time to get Ill" at games?
That would seem to be pretty elite to me.

Beastie's = Time to get Ill
DMC = you b illin'
Both should be staples IMO

It was a white guy dressed up like a traditional native 'merican that did a rough ridin' moronic traditional native 'merican dance. I hated it personally, not because it was racist, but because it was rough ridin' dumb and an embarrassment every time he did it. I mean the guy would go through classes on how to do the dance and look like a complete dumbass. Some rough ridin' dork in a stereotypical indian costume stomping around like a respect? Good riddance.
