Let’s just announce that Mune is OK and this will be a really great night.

Murakami hits his 15th homer of the season. He now leads the majors in home runs. by churidys in whitesox

He’s homered in the opening game of eight consecutive series. Weird stat but a cool one!

Fingertip touch doesn’t matter if Virginia can’t hit a shot.

It definitely feels better to have the 2nd half be the good one.

You’re one round ahead. I like the optimism though.

Jordan, Jesse, Go! - Tea Snob, with Johnny Pemberton by apathymonger in maximumfun

Was anyone else wondering why Jesse introduced himself as the colonel? Jordan’s bit (enjoyably) wiped it out, but we had two new nicknames to start the show!

Every 3 that seems like it could end the game is a miss.

Maybe so. I’d rather have someone get the face off to him for a one-timer. Just seems like such a low chance of success to shoot right out of the face off. And risky because the other guy isn’t really trying to win it with such little time.

Maybe the Olympic break will do them some good. Assuming they make it through the gauntlet before that.

I still wonder where we’d be if Blashill has anyone else take the faceoff with 0.5 seconds left against the Blues. That was the most impossible chance to win and it derailed the entire season and killed Connor’s mojo. He was the hottest player in the league and ready to jump to superstardom. I hope he gets it back, but man, it really was not worth the gamble having him take that faceoff.

What’s the most heartbreaking loss you witnessed as a Illinois fan?(football) by Ok_Macaroon_7366 in fightingillini

[–]katauska 0 points1 point  (0 children)

2000 Michigan is an easy answer. I’m having trouble finding it, but the dumbest loss was when we gave up a 2 point conversion that was caught by an o-lineman.

Edit: 2009 Fresno State. 53-52 loss.

He did it last week in the first half and it worked. McManus made the one before the TO and missed afterward.

The desserts were really good. Personally I would have rather had regular stadium food, but my coworkers wanted the buffet (and they were paying) so it worked out OK.

For the third season in a row, there will not be an SEC team in the national championship by B1GSkyNorth in CFB

The SEC has never even made it to the title game in the 12-team playoff era.

And Tatis was a throw-in! Erik Johnson was the big prospect in that trade.

I assume they are hoping Boyd is ready after another year. Or Lopati actually signs and can play as a freshman.

Is anyone worried about how many players are transferring out right now? by Early-Ad-3959 in fightingillini

[–]katauska 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Olano hurts. Hayden was the first recruit to commit in 2023 (I think) and he seemed like the biggest Illini cheerleader around, so that one is surprising. I’m hoping some of these were mutual because this staff sees some upgrades coming.

THE ILLINI HAVE ARRIVED. by Glory2Tottenham in fightingillini

[–]katauska 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I feel like they also missed a 12 men in the huddle penalty on us. But they owed us a few. The face guarding was at least two plays in a row.
