OTish: Illinois AD posts open letter to NCAA, demands that Illinois be recognized as co-Sweet Sixteen participant
Good one cousin Larry.
Was it a strongly worded letter?
It was a strong ass letter. But Houston overtook it.
Good riddance, Illinois. You should have lost Friday.
I like you, W Historian. Seems like we share a hatred for a lot of the same teams.
There are many bitch teams out there who give me logical reasons to hate them.
Fuck Illinois.
Hating Illinois just gives them what they want: a rivalry. To me they're the generic Big Ten team. Like, if you had an unmarked white box with "Big Ten Team" on it in black Arial font, you'd open it up and find Illinois. I'm more irritated by losing to Northwestern than Illinois.
You sonofabitch
I thought the same thing
LOL, I ended listening to "Boogie Oogie Oogie" by Chic till I couldn't boogie no more!!!
Mick, you maniac! Rockin’ S. D.
Hey XM, thanks man, I'm trying, lol.
Hope you and the family are doing well brother!
I can always count on you for expert analysis of any situation!
Well-played 😆 Give them the banner, they need it emotionally!
Clicked through the link and got a good chuckle. This joke will never get old!
Illinois: NCAA Sweet 17 2022 - hang the banner!
Double post - give them two banners for almost two wins!
So they get anners?
Loll this is great!
Post that one every time ILL INI loses in embarrassing fashion.
Hadn't been rickrolled in quite some time. Feels good.
Sweet 16 appearances:
Dickinson: 2
Cockburn: 0
I think this debate is settled.
Too bad there was an ad first.
A re-direct specifically for you 'FireUpChips':

This sounded plausible and I thought it was real. I didn't watch the Houston game so I checked to see if there was a recap somewhere.
Hmmm... when I did this I was sent to Bolivia and lost all my points. Hope you don't receive the same penalty Larry.
I think you're secretly hoping he gets the same penalty
I'm on to you
No, not really. Mine was a bit worse - it was just before Harbaugh was hired and I think my headline was something like "Harbaugh changes mind and stays in San Francisco according to insider rumors".
I thought it was hilarious, but I was the only one.
Nice - though personally I would have linked to a clip from Underwood's most famous role
Underwood looks good with longer hair. Shoulda stuck with it.
Fucking EPIC!!! A face not even a mother could love.
Every single time I see that I laugh my ass off!
Lmao
I actually clicked the link because his reputation is so bad that it made sense. Don't care though, I actually like that song.
I mean, Rick Astley has some pipes. I love his stuff.
Halfway through the second half, they were almost tied. If that doesn't warrant co-sweet 16 status, what does?
The orange hair is perfect, I bet he rolls with the Fightless Illini!
I want to know who was in charge of the wardrobe for the video.
I'm at that age when I wonder how well people from my day have aged, and he's doing rickrollingly well.
Ack! YouTube won't let me link the video directly...
I must not have been paying attention, what's this joke in reference to?
I suspect you know what a Rick roll is.
Last year, Illinois demanded to be recognized as regular season co-champs with Michigan.
In Basketball?
Meh.
Oh well. Another SS without Illinois. Another SS with Michigan. 5 in a row now.
Objective observers could raise the question: Michigan just made its fifth consecutive Sweet Sixteen, a B1G record, but the 2020 tournament was cancelled. How would that have changed things?
The answer, obviously, is that Michigan would not be celebrating five consecutive Sweet Sixteen berths. We would be enjoying our sixth.
the gift of prophecy.
Pretty funny. Fell for it based on history. Good song though.
Their sweet 16 opponent clearly ducked them. Cowards
Lol, you can see the makeup on his face! I don't think 4k is a good thing for Hollywood...
Saved by the tab topic! Almost had me, CL...
Don’t be ridiculous!
