My heart will stop beating.....

[Illini]

and I will die of a broken heart, if this team does not win it all. I know it's a longshot, but I am so vested in this team. What a win this was, and how great it is to be an Illini fan. I just want to enjoy this, but I want to win it all more than I want to hit a $100 12-teamer.

We've all heard that for 4 years here in Illinois!

Think they have a great shot with the outstanding guard play that they get on a nightly basis.

vikings, this team is better than all of those....by a lot.


Where you at Illini? We gotta party after Illinois closes the deal in March/April. :toast:

D2, I'm in Bloomington-Normal, what about you? We should have an RX Illini Bash for one of the games. Kornholio is my brother, and is as die-hard as I am. Just say the word, bro!

D2...I'm not saying they're not. I'm a Hawkeye fan here in Illinois who is tired of hearing all the talk. They are winning now but all that is setting up is a bigger disappointment when they lose in the tournament! I like to see the hopes get up too high like they have been. Of course Illini fans should be excited right now. But it's been this way for 4 years. Like all those Eagle fans right now. They have finally reached the end. Now let's see them do something about it!!

Most of my comments on here are to get my buddy Illini all fired up. He gets all flustered and pissed off. We're good friends. That is half my agenda!

Viking, you know I've never said one word about Final Four until now. I didn't think we would beat Duke last year, and I didn't think we'd beat Arizona in the Elite Eight in 2001, even though we would have beaten them 45 out of 100 times that year. This year is different, and anything less than a title will be unbearable grief. I think we've got as good of a shot as anyone, so good luck to our opponents in the tourney. There. I finally talked trash, and you better pray we don't win it all this year.

Likewise, I may come across as a prick sometimes, but half my posts are either directly or indirectly aimed at getting Viking pissed off. We have daily and nightly wars through work e-mail, text messaging, and voice mails. It's all part of our friendship, and we each know that it's all in good fun. I really never mean to win or lose without class, so take most things I say with a grain of salt.

What an amazing comeback....I had to leave when Wisky was up 8-9, I came back with 2 minutes left and was in shock...

Was happy for the Rx-Illini nation atleast , even though it cost me 550 lol...left me kind of in awe, this team sure does seem special...

 

[jjgold]

They will screw up in tourney

too much pressure

 

[Dante]

[Fishhead]

Make the line............

Illinois @ Iowa

Thanks

Fish, give me a max bet on Illini -4

Fish, give me a max bet on Illini -4

At this time, would take IOWA +4 personally.

Since WISKY was a 3 point dog at home, gotta figure IOWA will be at least +4 right?

 

[Illini]

Fish, what did you think of the line movement yesterday? Sounded like you disagreed with me, but didn't say so. It turned out I was wrong, cause I guess not everyone bought in on the home court edge. I didn't feel there was an advantage to playing either side, and knew it would be a great game.

You had me take a look at it and when I did I seen where Pinny was definetly getting action at +1.5 on WISKY and started to agree with you.

Then it kinda of stalled there and I sat back and thought to myself "how in the world is the #1 team in the country not going to get public action over what the general public feels is a so-so top 20 team"?.

Trust me, you know 30x more about college basketball than me, and I was just looking at it from a gamblers view.

Didnt do anything with the game personally.

CONGRATS on your team winning!

I would set the line at 4, and would think the number would hold up pretty well. But I was way off yesterday, so who knows. Maybe we're just that good, huh?
