    Spring Practice!!!

    Fellow TE fans on here - you know who you are: while technically a "slot" in positional vernacular, the potential of what this dude might be able to do for us schematically in tandem with the conventional stuff has me drooling.

    New court coming to CEFCU

    I like the arcs filled in on C, but the state of Illinois, while a cool feature as a stand-alone, is too busy with everything else going on (too bad the CEFCU logos gotta be there for obvious reasons). Ideally, again with the caveat there's no way in hell from a marketing/identity/brand angle...

    Post-Season Bids

    Locals I'd like to do, at least alternating, with the occasional "WOW" two-for-one, or even a clutch H-H like the SLU deal: TIER 1: Marquette /Butler/Purdue/Iowa State/Wisky... after that, I have a hard time with 2-for-1's - maybe need to spread out more geographically TIER 3: as they sit...

    Post-Season Bids

    I know we got crushed, but that CIncy midnight game was so bad-ass just for the helluvit.

    Illinois State to the MAC?

    Who cares the motivation? Isn't the largest cog in this beyond the games and such (the real appetizer for us legit fans), and more what greases the mechanism most in terms of exposure and donor $$$. Anything that brings more people out = a marketing + ...or maybe I'm over-simplifying here.

    Couldn't have happened to a classier program.

    Illinois State to the MAC?

    No knock on any of the cast current or since; but Bowman | Greenspan->Zenger | Mossman was other-level stuff; It was incredible to witness upclose.

    Mullins out at SIU

    Also mentioned more than one place: Alan Huss (High Point) and one of the Smithpeters (I can't/don't really care enough to tell them apart). Meh.

    Mullins out at SIU

    Pedon seems too nice a guy to get that hate/hate going again (Firey Italian/Norfolk St. aside); can we bring Dan back as a celebrity coach just once for poops & giggles?

    Porter to DePaul?

    Other than the Creighton job itself (if/when McD has enough), DePaul is about as Central Casting a fit for the "Porter Moser Story" as I can think of.

    Illinois State to the MAC?

    Some Monday afternoon "meh" banter regarding Mo. State and C-USA on the tail end of a thread on MVCFans... https://www.mvcfans.com/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=6138 ...interesting footprint with MTSU & WKU - otherwise, wierd.

    at Valparaiso (2-17) - Sunday, 3/3/2024 - 1 pm - ESPN+

    Other than the Bradley outlier, the scores have been plenty up. It will be interesting to see how we play with a big lead. Mal goes off. Foster double-doubles. Barkeep, throw me another shot of that tasty Red Kool-Aid! 'Birds 72 Valpo 55 ...or perhaps Judson and Pedon try some new stuff...

    vs Missouri State (7-11) - Wednesday, 2/28/2024 - 7 pm - ESPN+

    I have admittedly done a 180 on my opinions of this staff. Sure, I'll make the excuse, I am turning into an old fart and internally pass myself off as some sage (pun intended) that can see through "coach speak" - but these guys really are "coaching up" these dudes. The evolution and transition...

    Couldn't that be said about 85% of the teams in the country?

    @Bradley (11-6) - Saturday, 2/24/2024 - 7 pm - ESPN+

    Cautiously optimistic, but what the hell, this past weekend has me doing keg-stands of Red Kool-Aid. BU overdoes it on Johnny Cash so Mal steps up with a renewed confidence. Foster gives them interior fits and Chase finally starts getting some mild respect calls, resulting in Wardle's grumpy...

    vs UNI (9-7) - Wednesday, 2/21/2024 - 7 PM - ESPN+

    Worth it just to name-drop: "Fayne, Hawkins, McIntosh, Wills, Lee" - I loved that 5. Them and D.A-P were a slick crew to pull for.

    vs UNI (9-7) - Wednesday, 2/21/2024 - 7 PM - ESPN+

    I like Judson's intensity coming in and out of the timeouts these past few games, his working the refs, etc. Kinda fun. And this team in general just has this cameradic enthusiasm. Such a 180 from the perceived "vibe" around the team earlier. I'm gladly eating crow and loving the evolution of...
