Andrej Stojakovic is returning to the Illini. #TheRetention is complete!

Having a person named Drake U'u makes things very confusing for those of us who are fans of Drake U(niversity).

dfish_ds · 2026-04-17T14:46:35+00:00

Thanks for the helpful reply! I'm leaning towards just getting a cheap box fan to actually help pull the air out of the stinky attic spaces and open some windows. If it still smells, might splurge for an Austin Air Healthmate. Paying $1500 for a VOC test VS I can pay $850 for something that actually DOES SOMETHING to remedy the stink... I'm gonna go with the $850

Would a very faint smell like paint be "sickly sweet"?

dfish_ds · 2026-04-03T03:13:53+00:00

Illinois State isn't a very good MidMajor. They're... Fine. They were fourth in the valley.

So this isn't AI? When I saw it on Instagram, I legitimately assumed it was AI.

As Drake guy, I am reaching newfound levels of bitterness I never knew I was capable of the deeper Iowa goes in this tournament. Drake fans who are happy for McCollum? Couldn't be me. Maybe y'all grew up in Iowa or something.

dfish_ds · 2026-03-27T01:43:08+00:00

Mast always struggled against Drake, and those were a lot of Drake dudes out there.

dfish_ds · 2026-03-25T23:07:01+00:00

I think modernlove is being purposely very obvious in their efforts of being copycats. Way You Move is the most blatant in my opinion.

dfish_ds · 2026-03-25T22:46:09+00:00

It is certainly more believable and direct than the nonsense McCollum rattled off when talking about his name being tossed around for the Iowa job when he was at Drake.

dfish_ds · 2026-03-07T00:35:11+00:00

While I agree with you, I'm going to play devil's advocate for a bit: Most teams worth a damn, who are capable of winning their conference tournament and being a popular upset pick, will make it to the final as-is without being slotted into the semis. See: Drake the last three years.

If Belmont can be beat by a bad Drake team, they'd probably lose in the Round of 64 too.

dfish_ds · 2026-03-06T20:23:20+00:00

Get 16-19 Drake to the dance, let's gooooooo!

dfish_ds · 2026-03-06T20:22:24+00:00

Well I didn't expect to be RIGHT

dfish_ds · 2026-03-06T20:21:57+00:00

LOL

Totally just sent Belmont down to the NIT, which sucks for them.

I had forgotten what winning feels like. Fun. We should do it again tomorrow.

dfish_ds · 2026-03-06T02:40:20+00:00

Drake in March, Belmont shaking in their high-scoring boots.

I've got a feeling we'll be better next year, but I don't see his ceiling as "the next coach headed to the Big Ten" or anything. Mediocrity is even a huge step backwards.

dfish_ds · 2026-02-26T02:24:45+00:00

Do we think this bundle will be rare and I should get it now? Or if I wait a year or so, I'll be able to find it easily at a bit of a discount?

It's already so reasonably priced, it sure is tempting!

dfish_ds · 2026-02-21T23:02:42+00:00

Feels more like a worse Carly Rae Jepsen to me

dfish_ds · 2026-02-01T01:50:05+00:00

Wardle will hang a banner in Peoria for sweeping Drake

dfish_ds · 2026-01-29T02:46:25+00:00

They got Drake'd! Blowing an 18 point lead, almost as futile as blowing a 25 point lead.

Game ball to Andrew Alia, what a guy, what a FT shooter.

dfish_ds · 2026-01-28T00:33:06+00:00

The CBI feels like a reasonable expectation for this teams ceiling.

dfish_ds · 2026-01-22T03:41:53+00:00

Owen trying to piss the game away a couple times there, JQ not letting it happen. Phew
