All good. It was weird that he posted something not related to IU unless there's something very unexpected happening here. 

Very weird...

The Omeir kid had a big rebounding night when we played them in the tourney 2 years ago...

Nice timing!

Maybe I shouldn't have put it in this thread, but I did because of the Inside the Hall tweet...

I thought maybe it was somebody we'd be interested in...

Illinois tampered with AJ Storr?

And still lost him to Kansas 🤔

You can't make this stuff up

Surprised IL isn't on either list. They have some nice pieces coming in.

I think a lot of hesitancy on Illinois hinges on whether Marcus Domask gets a 6th year or not...

Upper echelon. Absolutely.  But Elite program and 3 years is not really synonymous. I think if you want to cut it down to 3 years, you have to make it passed the sweet 16 more than once.... aka make it to the ELITE eight.

Joe Charboneau was an elite baseball player 🙂

It's a start 🙂 

Couple of Buckeyes find new homes...

Felix Okpara to Tennessee 

Scottie Middleton to Seton Hall

Very excited for this to happen, so I can found out what new holes Goodman will find in the roster.

That'll bring "need a backup big!" and "fill that 13th scholarship!" center stage...

Well, only goes to prove that you can't believe everything you read on X...

Don't get much more sourced than that 🙂

Since we're on the topic of Old Country Buffet. Here's a video of what Zach Edey would watch if he was under 7 feet tall. 

 

I find it hard to believe I haven't seen that carving kid in any blockbuster movies

I'm getting the idea that you don't trust the McCaskeys. 🤣

Not a bit...as you said, Bears football front office common sense died with Muggs...

Can teams really do that in the NFL though? They have both a salary floor and salary cap, unlike MLB. 

True, but teams can and do manipulate the numbers...and I'm sure the McCaskeys hire experts in that field...

The concept art looks super cool, that is for sure.

So my fear is the McCaskeys go on the cheap for the on the field product (wouldn't be the first time) like Ricketts did for the Cubs to recoup that money and play poor knowing the faithful Bears fans will still show up, just like the Cub fans did...

They are asking taxpayers to pay half I believe…not sure that will fly. I am glad to get rid of the UFO toilet stadium whatever they end up doing.

I read that ownership is paying $2 billion, a $300 million loan from the NFL, and $900 million comes from the Illinois Sports Facilities Authority (i.e. taxpayers)...The Bears are saying they'll pay 72%...

Bears fans, did y'all see this?

The staff snuck one in yesterday 🙂

Old Country Buffett went out of business?
