It’s been a while.

Sorry, had a deadline I was working on. Back now.


The Illini play Wisconsin tonight

They’re 3-0 against the spread since I wrote this. You’re welcome, Illini nation. February has actually been fun for once.

Losers of 14 straight against Wisconsin, this will be a test to see if Giorgi can handle Ethan Happ, one of the best (if not the best) post-men in the country.

The Illini are 10.5-point underdogs, which means it’s time start up the UPSET TRAIN CHOO CHOO FOLKS.

Tip-off: 7 pm

TV: FS1

Maybe it’ll be like this, just with better video quality:

Illini baseball will probably be good this year

Despite baseball being a bad sport for bad people (only kidding), I’ll try to keep up with this season on the blog. We’re going to compete for an NCAA Tournament bid this year, if what I’m told is correct. Plus they might start selling beer at games.
