Pokey sticks at Gumby’s were good.

I liked Pizza World as fast food pizza went back then. It wasn’t great. Just a better Domino’s.

Speaking of downstate pizza, a guy I used to hang out with at the racetrack told me it Monical's was the best pizza in the world. My wife and I were on a road trip and I had to stop and try it. It wasn't bad but I thought the guy's praise was WAY overstated.

In Chicago, Monical's wouldn't be all that great. But for Arbor Vitae or Charleston, it's a slice of heaven. Context is all.

Gumby's had that odd pricing that was rounded once you added sales tax, right?

There is a monical’s in Princeton that I’ve been too a time or two. It’s nothing special but I’ve had way worse.

Pizza World? I'm afraid to ask your Illini Inn Mug Club card number to find out how old you really are.

It's in downtown Urbana and, therefore, not on campus, but the Courier Cafe is my favorite lunch spot in the CU area.

My wife and kids like that place a lot. I’ve never been there.

It's worth checking out for lunch: big sandwiches, good milkshakes, cool old setting (old artifacts, tin ceilings, etc.).

That's where Antigua went. He recruited him. He is why Illinois got a Puerto Rican connection with those guys.

If he goes anywhere, it's there. But he won't play for Underwood again.

Told ya it wouldn't be Kentucky. They don't want that headache.

St Johns is a good fit for him.

I wish the kid the best. Seems like a good guy. It just didn’t work out.

But JORR is right.

I thought St. John’s was an interesting choice.

They haven’t been relevant since I had dark hair.

At least there is hope. Unlike other former competitive B10 teams.

You’ll always have Julie DiCaro.

Good one. But difference is I have seen my team win a championship in my lifetime.

But at least you have seen your team in the Final 4, unlike our buddy Brick.

How old were you in 1987? What was the best part of that championship?

Do you think Indiana basketball is in a better place than Illinois? Serious question.

I was a teenager. Best part was getting to celebrate with my Uncle who was a huge IU fan.

Technically speaking I was alive for the last 3 championships.

Indiana and Illinios are in about the same spot currently. Neither are relevant in the big picture of college basketball. And I dont see that changing for either team in the near future.

The Undergraduate Library is closing. Hopefully this will not ruin the Morrow plots.

The Undergraduate Library will remain open through the end of the Spring 2022 semester. - General Information
As announced in 2018, the building will be converted over the next few years into an Archives and Special Collections building. Services for undergraduate students will be integrated into the Main Library, Grainger Engineering Library Information Center, Funk ACES Library, and other units around campus by the start of classes in Fall 2022. Transition planning is currently underway for popular services including the Writers Workshop and Media Commons. The Library looks forward to welcoming students into these renovated spaces in the next academic year. For the most up-to-date information, please check back here often.

Who you rootin' for in that one Bob? You have a tendency to root against the good guys.

I'll bet Curbelo is playing for Kentucky next year.

They will suck next year.

Kofi, Trent, Plummer, Curbelo, Williams probably all gone.

Do they have any 4/5 star incoming recruits?

They do, actually.

But when Underwood goes back to K-State, I'm sure they will all de-commit.

You failed. He got a 6 year extension.

Program is definitely getting better but gotta start getting further in NCAAs. Will be interesting with a new lineup next year and no Cockburn. That guy covered up a lot of deficiencies.

Not that I'm aware of but I'm guessing he will.

I'm not sure he can make more money elsewhere so maybe he comes back...or it's off to Europe or Israel.

He can play two more years.

He'd make $250k returning to college. He got $100k last year. Legally(well, as long as he actually does it right this year).

It was just yesterday that JORR was telling us he was going to be a top 10-15 pick in the NBA draft.
