D…..Black is a part of our logo, every team sports some type of black uni. Time to embrace the change.

How about James Madison? Punched a ticket to a bowl game in the Sun-Belt and now the NCAA. Nothing like a change in scenery to get kids and coaches inspired to win. As stated in my last post, we could be James Madison or fall flat on our faces. I’d rather take a chance.

At minimum if MAC is possibly looking at both, a very good game and close Win by ISU would be an impressive audition for both teams. I’m of the belief that if you’re not at the party, you can’t be asked to go out on the dance floor. We’ve tried to hitch our wagon to being a basketball...

I’ll take it. We’re nowhere close to competing in Basketball. Wagon to Football.

You take it seriously if it offends a POC that’s how! I’ve heard white people refer to themselves or other white people as “trailer trash”, “white trash”, or just a dumb r*dneck. I’m not white so it’s hard for me to take it personal, but the language is still offensive. We burn trash, throw...

Here goes…..as an AA Man, if you were to use the N word toward me I’m likely going to be wrapped on you like a band-aid on a hairy arm. I would have expected the kid Thomas to react the way his coach did. NOT…..chat with the refs, then line up to shoot FT’s, and then only after the ref...

KY Insider suggests that he has to graduate in order to transfer again. Most schools require you to complete 30 of your last 60 hours for residence requirements. Not sure if AR thinks it’s easier to get his degree from ISU to be considered a Graduate by August, and then move on to one of the...

So if you follow the news, Ja Morant (Memphis Grizzlies) was on camera enjoying some “down time” in a strip club simply trying to blow off some stream and show off his firearm. Are you suggesting that the “proof in the pudding” lies in the quest to see if there is video, or dare I suggest...

Strippers don’t usually take plastic, they’re full of it YES. But their line of work is mostly cash and carry. Plus I’m not paying a card fee because Cinnamon doesn’t take Discover. 🤣

Unless their Lyft or Uber driver was named Candy, Sinnamon, or Diamond. Me thinks they found a place to spend some down time, or up time until someone “arrived”. Pure speculation on my part tho! 🤣

Well the WGLT article said it all without saying anything. Rossi pledged $3M but may not be able to pay anything due to his legal woes. Other donor group is still committed to making payments. ISU had a contingency plan to borrow the $11.5M just in case. So presumably ISU is paying for...

Can we call it Spring at this point, or do we have to wait longer? LOL

Recently departed as in “not reappointed”. I’ll save my thoughts on the Burger and Steak King of Blo/No and his less than liberal views, but me thinks there is more to his agenda. As someone with no skin in the game anymore why does he care? Out of respect for Quinnie I had questions, but...

And Hutchison CC was basically a Juco powerhouse where academically ineligible kids were parked until they could get grades/credits to transfer to D-1 schools. Not taking anything away from Jank on that front, but he wasn’t exactly coaching John Logan or Kishwaukee CC. Point was sub .500 at...

What was Janks record at North Texas prior to landing at KU as an assistant? Porter didn’t even light the world on fire at ISU. Sometimes coaches get better after they’ve had a chance to work under better coaches. I stand with my choice. I was in favor of Judson years ago, but hey we’re...

No to Roger Powell Jr. last thing we need after Dan is ruining the relationship with any former player and their legacy. No to Collins, No to Powell.

Norm Roberts (Kansas). Seems when we get coaches with roots and ties to KU good things happen.

Congrats and Thanks DM, Sheila (Pham) and BJ. Redbird Nation is deeply appreciative of your gifts, time and effort to help recruit and prepare future student athletes to excel and win championships at Illinois State. Let’s get this done AD Kyle Brennan.

Once upon a time I would quietly suggest that Illinois State should have considered a number of options before the last domino of realignment just fell. Those included: pursuing AAC membership to reunite with Tulsa and Wichita State in basketball, and becoming the 12th Football playing member...

Not only did he have a close relationship with the players, but word around the program is that he and other former REDBIRDS on the staff felt overlooked when it came to promotions, such as when “All Lives Matter” Beathard took his leave. The kids in the program supported Hall, and wanted him...
