I'm sick of the constant Doug Collins stuff. It's sad. We cling onto this every season because we have a bad history over the past 23 years.

Actually it’s a very good story about the best player to ever put on an ISU uniform. It’s about more than basketball too.

50 years ago... when is it time to stop living in the past.

Agree .... those were tremendously exciting times at ISU and it is important not to forget them ... and he has gone on to accomplish so much in so many different ways ,,,

Plus it was in Alumni magazine which pretty much by definition is about history. Jeez!

If you are serious about making sure we don't forget about the best player in our history, former first draft pick, the person at the center of the 1980 Olympics controversy, former Bulls coach, NBA announcer and Basketball HOF member then you are a troll.

I'm sure Indiana St has just moved on from Larry Bird or Michigan St from Magic Johnson. Give me a break. Go cheer for the Illini and all their legends who have the credentials above.

so

clinging to history = bad?

then why do you cling to the last 23 years of history?

Time flies - 1972, I think you meant.

Don't feed the troll, folks. Some comments don't deserve a response.

Agreed. There are a few on here that are clearly trolling. It’s so annoying.

I enjoyed the read, especially when he talks about Jordan. Collins has always been a class act.

When is it time to start living with hope, Eeyore?
