Wake up Illini fans its (basketball exhibition) gameday

Figured that an exhibition game doesn’t deserve all caps, but it will be nice to see how this year’s team plays together. Illinois vs Ole Miss at 11am in Oxford, MS Edit: It’s on SEC Network if anyone was curious

Cheers & Respect

If anyone in here travelled out to Eugene for the game today, I want to tip my hat to you. I was impressed by how many came all this way for a game that was almost a sure loss, and every interaction I had with Illinois fans was great. Super chill, good folks all around. Despite the game being pretty much over at the half, the entire visitor section stayed where they were until the final whistle, and y’all got up to dance and Shout with us after the third quarter, which I greatly respect. I haven’t felt such a positive vibe from a visiting fanbase since Tennessee came out here years ago. Y’all really did yourselves proud and I look forward to visits from Illinois in the future. Fanbases like yours make college football great and I’d happily share my tailgate with y’all, so cheers to you, win or lose!

Postgame thoughts

Don’t think anyone really expected to win today. Oregon basically exposed us for being a slightly fraudulent team. Not discrediting what this team has done this year, but it’s clear we’re not a top 25 team.

Think we go 2-2 in the next four games to finish 8-4 on the year. I’m 100% happy with that result, especially considering our o/u this year was 5.5 wins. Having gone through the beckman and Lovie eras, Bielema is such a breath of fresh air.

That being said, doesn’t the 2022 8-4 team seem way better than this one? Still sad we couldn’t get one more win that year to play Michigan in the BTC.

Youth Terrence Shannon Jr. Jersey

Does anyone know of any stores in Champaign area that do custom youth Illini basketball jerseys?

My nephew wants a Terrence Shannon Jr. Illinois jersey for Christmas. I cannot find anything online and I don’t live in Illinois. I will probably go to a game or two before Christmas time so am hoping to find somewhere that offers that service while in town.

Memorial stadium rededication

So I loved all the memorial stadium hoopla. Well planned, well executed and great win. Question though, why are not very many other schools doing anything for their stadiums 100 year anniversary? Texas has their stadium turning 100. Ohio State was in 22. Purdue is this year. Are they and we aren't hearing about it?

Anyone making the trip to Eugene?

Wanted to check in here and see if anyone will be making the trip for the game.

I’m flying out on Wednesday with a few buddies for a long weekend.

It would be great to find some fellow Illini fans to tailgate with??

Has anyone gotten a good look at Oregon yet? I have about 5% hope that we will win, just curious if there is something that might increase that hope meter

I doubt we are going to win, and wouldn’t be surprised if we get rolled. Is there anything that might make it possible to win this game, in Eugene against a much better opponent?
