Illini basketball at it’s finest

Great perspectives from some diehard Illini fans.

Talent

These guys wouldn’t know good basketball talent if it punched them in the face. Total under appreciation of glue guys

Overreaction and hyperbole galore

I gave this one an extended try, and some episodes aren't bad. However, once some adversity hits for the basketball team the ad-hominem attacks begin. That's when it shifts to bush league hot takes that are over-the-top negative, without much context or analysis. If that's what you want, this is for you.

The real winners

The show hosts are very entertaining. I enjoyed how they defend the Illini are the 2021 Big 10 champs, for taking 2nd place in the conference but winning the "door prize" big 10 tournament. I'm looking forward to seeing the "NOT big 10 champs" go deeper than the "Actual" Big 10 champs, Michigan in the March Madness tournament. But more importantly, I can't wait to listen to this podcast after the Illini show that they "Are who we thought they were". Great job, guys!
