    FedEx pledges $25M to Memphis NIL

    At what point do we just scrap the whole concept of "college athletics". Just make a new level of lower level professional sports, go independent of the universities, and be done with it.

    Tyrese Hunter Enters Portal Again

    Not to mention he gave us a year and without his performance in the LSU game we don't have a sweet 16 banner hanging in Hilton for that year. Could have easily moved on after we fired Prohm. Sucks the way the whole thing went down and sucks to see how his career has panned out, but I just cant...

    Omaha enters the transfer portal (confirmed)

    Either of those would be odd since I don't think he would be in a much different position at those schools than if he just stays here. Hopefully if he is considering other P5's it means that Rock had already beat him out on the roster.

    Former UNI guard Nate Heise taking visit to Ames Monday (committed)

    He was an all conference player in one of the better mid-major leagues.

    *** Official #10 Illinois vs #4 IOWA STATE Game(Day) Thread ***

    The most frustrating thing here is we’ve defended well enough to win. Biggest weakness all year has been these games where we forget how to run offense and it happened in the biggest game of the year. Just maddening.

    You just don’t get to play the way we have in this caliber of game and expect to win.

    I don’t really know how we’re going to get back in this. We aren’t running anything on offense, and I don’t think there’s a magic switch to flip that’s going to generate better movement.

    *** Official #10 Illinois vs #4 IOWA STATE Game(Day) Thread ***

    Absolutely no movement or scheme on offense right now. This is exactly how it’s looked when we’ve struggled.

    Food in QC

    If your venturing out a bit, Twin Span Brewing by the Bett Plex has really good food options and sold beer. In Bettendorf the Tangled Wood is also a cool option. I don't love their food, but they have a good drink selection and their patio area is worth checking out.

    Food in QC

    I know other people will recommend it, but I would stay away from places like Rudy's, Happy Joes, and Hungry Hobo. All of these are kind of Quad Cities "cult classics" but end up being pretty mediocre to bad if you don't have nostalgia propping up your opinion of them.

    Food in QC

    For pizza I would very very very strongly recommend checking out Smash Pizza in Bettendorf. Lopiez is also very good. If your wanting Quad Cities style pizza I always think that Bad Boyz does a pretty solid job.

    Washington State game thoughts

    I was impressed how WSU just kept hanging around until the very end. Just kept answering and answering to keep us from running away with it.

    I had a gut feeling about this all day. Just ****ing knew this is what we’d do.

    If TCU can win tonight they’ll be such an interesting matchup for Purdue with the way they want to get out and run.

    ***Official 2024 Transfer Thread***

    That's kind of how I feel digging through this thread. Lot of guys going into the portal that averaged pretty normal numbers for a starter at the mid-major level. Just not a lot of guys who will merit a payday to jump up a level. I think we'll see even more kids left high and dry when transfer...

    Baylor will be in the bonus for the next 12 minutes. Great way to slow things down and get points. Have to keep it going on offense.

    Baylor had a lot of comeback wins down the stretch. Absolutely have to stay locked in

    Bracketology 2024

    I dont think they can. Biggest problem is that they are currently behind Baylor and ISU with one of Baylor and ISU guaranteed to win a top 10 game today.
