Friendly warning for Illini faders

Illini · Mar 25, 2005

Just made the drive up there and bought tickets from depressed Okie St fans. Every Illini fan had the same idea, and I almost couldn't even buy any, the demand was so high. I saw tons of Okie St fans, and they had all already sold their tickets to Illini fans, till I found a few at the last minute. I only saw 6 or 7 AZ fans, period. So, this game might as well be at the Assembly Hall in Champaign, because it is going to be a sea of orange. And the Illini never lose home games. Who knows, maybe a rich Chicago doctor that went to the U of I will buy my seats for 5K each, since they are about 10 rows off the floor. That's how big the demand is. Illini fever is going to be very tough for Arizona to overcome. Okie St losing just put a major increase in the home court advantage that they already had.

Unless Salim Stoudamire buys a seat for the game, Arizona still has a legitimate shot.

Very true, GD. Kid can flat out play. I ordered that book, and can't wait to get it.

Appealing match-up. I will root for Lute, but IMO Illy will prevail.

I'm almost rooting for the Illini to win it all, despite my future U of A wager, because I hate to think poster Illini would do something bad and I would love for him to come work for me.

Illinois -5. Lost only 1 bet ALL YEAR vs. this line.

And this is a home game. Come on now, sometimes it's hip to be square.

yes, its a homey, but I guarantee you and me are non Lute and his
Wildcat deficiencies cuz we know Steve. C'mn, I'm rooting for the Illini cuz of fiends but Arizona is the bet, FLAT OUT.

I REALLY hope Dee Brownh and that kid Williams come through cuz I ain't about depression counseling, sir. LOL.:sad3:
