Tisdale, Illini Bump off WIldcats


What? Northwestern was in the top 25? That can't happen for long, so the Illini brought reality down on the Wildcats last night 89-83.

Mike Tisdale came around with 11 for 14 FG, leading the Illini with a career high 31 points and 11 rebounds. The game was nip and tuck.

Anyone up for the Wildcats hosting the Illini in Evanston? 1/23/10 7PM at Welsh Ryan

Watched the SIU/ISU game last night. Thought I was watching Saybrook vs. Gridley. Wow - pathetic basketball.

Ya, Valley ball is not pretty.

Saybrook and Gridley had some good teams. Saybrook did score 100 points against Wildcats in 80, Who was to blame for that?

I think the U of I is one of the best schools in the world.

What I can't understand is how so many Graduates can't comprehend that Chief Illiniwek MIGHT be offensive to the Natives.

It makes me question just how well educated we really are.

Are we getting what we paid for?

The Chief isn't a sideline mascot. He is not a caricature. He is class.

Chief Osceola doesn't offend the Seminole Tribe in FL.

There's always someone who wants to ruin things for everyone.

Saybrook - Arrowsmith Comanches v. the Gridley Redskins. Don't forget the Pontiac Indians. Hey, Clinton Jr High used to have a Native American gig (the Warriors). What about the Uni High Illineks?

Guess Hoopeston - East Lynn is still safe.
