Illinois vs. Sparty

Tonight @ 6 p.m.

Hot and Cold

That's the story of this year's team. We really have no idea what to expect. Who is going to show up tonight?

My Encounter with A Former Illini

As promised, the movie below is a dramatization of a random encounter one of our loyal readers had with a former Illini player. The movie takes place at the entrance of Lottie's. Mark Pinsof just arrived with some friends. The basis of the story is real, but some creative liberties were taken. Enjoy.




Illinois vs. Sparty

Tonight is a big game for the Illini. After losing 2 very winnable games against Penn State and Wisconsin, we now have back to back games against the pre-season favorites Michigan State and tOSU.

After starting the season #2 in the country, MSU dropped out of the rankings last week before returning this week with a pair of wins over Wisky and Northwestern. Some are down on the Spartans, but they've had the toughest schedule in the country this year. They return the core of their team from last year in Kalin Lucas at the point and Delvon Roe and Draymond Green in the front court. In my opinion, however, Durrel Summers is the best of the bunch. He's averaging 14 points and 5 rebounds per game, and he can jump out of the gym. I'm not sure who we have that can match up with his strength.

The Illini need a win tonight, and the consistently inconsistent Mike Davis has been lousy in the last few games...he's due for a big one tonight. We need it.

Illinois - 67
MSU - 65


Sincerely,
Miles Davis

I've never seen Mark so handsome or eloquent!! Will there be a sequel? (PS - I was there that night, and yes, that really is how it happened... except that you dramatically shortened the length of the conversation, and didn't quite capture Mark's giddy schoolgirl excitement, which lasted for hours after the incident. I have witnesses. :))

Mark as a giddy schoolgirl. I wish I was there to witness the euphoria.
