“Evaporated.“ Never said that but cool…. Yes, I do know. But people have wanted to be Elvis for 60 years. And I think what is hipper these days is the switch around. Ya know, how every one in the band “kind of” plays “everything” and switches around…

Illini earn #1 seed

Posted in SPLOG to Word by Rob McColley on Sunday, March 14, 2010 at 7:21 pm

The Illini men travel to Long Island this week to face the Stony Brook Seawolves in the opening round of of the NIT.

Illinois can't play at home because Cirque du Soleil is in town.

The game airs o' ESPNU at 8 o'clock o' St. Patrick's Day.

If you drink enough, you may imagine you're seeing inbounds plays. Except that you don't have ESPNU.
