Poetry in the Motion

Wisconsin beat the shit out of Illinois. 

The Illini defense stymied Penn State Saturday afternoon. In the meantime, a lot of old people reminisced about being young.

You know who was sitting on the couch, typing a summary of Illini basketball while the fireworks went off?

Rob McColley, that's who.

Rob is back from a month Elsewhere. It looks like the end of an era, as John Groce appears intent on ending Illini vacation opportunities.

The Illini regain traction, possibly momentum.

In which the Illini men fly 2000 miles to play three-quarters of a basketball game, before puking nervously on the shoes of the girl they wanted to impress.

Illinois beat Dartmouth 72-65, and everybody's angry about it (except Rob).

We played great. They played like crap. We won.

Illini basketball fumbles in the red zone, coughing up a 12-point lead to lowly Georgia Tech for its first loss of the year.
