F U Illinois…I am neither an Indiana fan, supporter or student…I don’t really even like Indiana…BUT Screw you and the horse you rode in on…the way your players treated the Indiana players tonight is disgraceful to your university’s name and everything associated with it. F U Illinois your players are classless and your fans through crap at the IU players parents.

FU Illinois from an unbiased basketball fan just looking for a good BASKETBALL game. Leave that other crap at home…control your emotions you classless fools.

Subject: HUGE CUSTODY BATTLE IN CHAMPAIGN, IL
Very Very sad but true …………

Champaign, IL(AP) – A seven-year-old Champaign, IL boy was at the center of a courtroom drama yesterday when he challenged a court ruling over who should have custody of him.

The boy has a history of being beaten by his parents and the judge initially awarded custody to his aunt, in keeping with child custody law
and regulations requiring that family unity be maintained to the degree possible. The boy surprised the court when he proclaimed that his aunt beat him more than his parents and he adamantly refused to live with her.

When the judge then suggested that he live with his grandparents, the boy cried out they also beat him. After considering the remainder of the
immediate family and learning that domestic violence was apparently a way of life among them, the judge took the unprecedented step of allowing the boy to propose who should have custody of him.

After two recesses to check legal references and confer with child welfare officials, the judge granted temporary custody to the University of Illinois Illini, whom the boy firmly believes are not capable of beating anyone.

GO IU, FIGHT, FIGHT, FIGHT!

I am a fan of PostmanE & R and what they have been doing since ‘05. This is a great article and should be published in U of I’s school newspaper. U of I is not going to be good again and they are trying to take pride in having Luther Head’s brother verbally commit to their school…and he is just a sophomore in high school! It is obvious Weber can not recruit (going to the final was with Self’s players)and he should go back to coaching at MVC caliber schools like SIU and Purdue. He has let numerous studs from Chicago leave the state (2 studs to Oregon, Rose, Wright, amongst others)but there is some hope….Jordan’s son walked on!!! His best offer was Illinois State so at least U of I got some publicity for a couple days. Let’s face it, like stated before, the fans are good individually but suck dick as a whole. I don’t know how horrible it was to see old men and women wear that gay chief shirt when they were ‘good’ and talk about how they are alumni, though 80% of them couldn’t get into that school today. Fuck U of I, go IU. The only bad thing about IU is when the wind is blowing east because that horrible aroma of chow shit and ugly girls is in the air from U of I.

Bruce Weber is the best defensive coach in the Big 10 and I am an IU fan! But this Eric Gordon thing is blown all out of proportion!! When Bill Bradley was a senior and no. 1 player in high school at Crystal City, Mo. he committed to Duke. Then changed his mind and went to Princeton. There was no animosity at all because of this and the Duke coach wished him well. These players are not chattels!!!!! If Weber could recruit, look out! Maybe the 2009-10 class will prove his ability. But stop the God awful whinning!!!!!

PostmanE: White Sox fans can’t be like Illinois fans…we’ve won a championship recently…

And what a great weekend for sports? NFL playoffs second round, (in my opinion, always the best round) and then Indiana’s massacre of Illinois. Gotta love Sports

Stephen, that was Nick Anderson, I remember that too like it was yesturday……….

I look for the Hoosier to control the whole game Sunday and win by 20, 68-48 IU. UI will SLOW it down but that will slow them down too, talent level will end up pushing a 20 pt win and a 10pt win at UI….

It looks like Moose is a Cubs fan too, A. I think he’s talking about Sox fans’ insecurity about their lack of attention in the Chicago area. But we’ll get into that topic another time.
