map helps illustrate how this proposal, floated last week, would create the smallest (smaller than Wyoming by 100k) and perhaps the least-tax-revenue-generating state in the union.

@NoEscalators
! long time, first time. big fan. a lot of us feel really weird about it too.
that's why we've been raising $ for our local crisis center since Jan 21. perhaps you could share the donation link? we'll match the first $500 from UConn fans
One of the things I love about college sports are the catch phrases fanbases adopt:
Alabama fans: “Roll Tide”
Auburn fans: “War Eagle”
Oklahoma fans: “Boomer Sooner”
Arkansas fans: “Wooo Pig Sooie”
Illinois fans: “Actually he’s playing pursuant to a Court order”
marcus domask really broke the entire university of wisconsin-madison media apparatus. his list of accomplishments at illinois is long but this may be the most illustrious one.
Subpoenas for testimony from University of Kansas basketball players Hunter Dickinson, Kevin McCullar and Elmarko Jackson were filed today in Douglas County (KS) court as part of Terrence Shannon Jr's criminal case:
Kansas State fans are running a robust Russian-propaganda-esque disinformation campaign about underwood and honestly,,,real recognize real it's a good troll
insane how illini twitter is overwhelmingly like "let's wait and see when all the facts come out" but at the same time are hyping up an unconfirmed notes app message board post as gospel. lord above.
Illinois big man Kofi Cockburn will not play tonight at Maryland, Brad Underwood told
@Stadium

Suffered a concussion against Purdue and is in protocol. Said his status for Tuesday against Michigan State still up in the air.
best soil judging team (team judging category) in the country.

HER FLOWERS, THAT'S AN ILLINI TEAM JUDGING NATTY! HER FIRST YEAR AT NATIONALS. QUIT PLAYING. I-L-L.
keep the public school children of Champaign and Urbana in your thoughts today. waking up and seeing every other school district for many miles around is closed but yours is open is one of the worst childhood feelings.
Lovie lived downtown. not in a mcmansion in SW champaign like every other coach. you would actually see him around town. he rode his bike to work. it was awesome. I will always remember that part fondly.
if kylan boswell transfers to illinois i will buy 100 boswell jerseys in every possible color option, even the blues (if they even sell them, pretty sure they don't for obvious reasons)
the most Illini shit of all time, somehow, is to have the best season in modern recorded history and then also simultaneously lose to a team that just had a non-negligible percentage of their entire team suspended.
best use of NIL would be for wcia to pay Kofi to host a coffee hour with Judy Frazier once a week, there is nothing you can say to shake my confidence in this idea it's a win win for everyone involved.
insane pet section at the Urbana Meijer.
schools represented: Michigan, Michigan State, Wisconsin, Ohio State, Kentucky
schools not represented: Illinois
it is frankly offensive that tonight's game is on BTN+. the 6 pm men's BTN game is Nebraska and the 8 pm men's BTN game was cancelled. come on. two ranked women's teams with 4 losses between them, and it's not flexed to tv? really?
seeing the gameday crew unanimously pick Illinois and then thinking some variation of "god damn it", and seeing everyone else also feel that way, is so much our culture it hurts.
illini twitter is incredible. just read an at length conversation between a walter white bobblehead and some person named cheeseburger about whether or not underwood is going to texas. love the discourse. live for the discourse.
Brandin Podziemski discusses leaving

for Santa Clara, where he became a star and NBA Draft prospect.
“I didn’t want to risk being 20 (years old) and not playing. I wanted to go somewhere where I had the opportunity.”

the Illini football condition, as I understand it, is to either be all in or all out.
so, fuck it: rank us cowards, never losing again, Wisconsin is just north Rockford, Illini by 1.5 billion, rose bowl.
imagine being so insecure about the city that your university is located in that you have to launch a public pr campaign to convince everyone that your school is actually in the city that it isn't in.
ours, for example, is in two cities. and we claim them both.
cowards.
seeing a lot of the same people who were irate about the vax mandate at state farm center are now irate because of a game getting cancelled for covid.
see the problem here? it's pretty obvious.
