*Official* 2017-2018 B1G In-Season Thread

I can’t seem to ignore (briefly) the absurdity of a fan of a perrinial loser throwing shade at a coach who routinely outperforms them. Tomorrow is another story - probably just shake my head. Regardless I will pull for Purdue win or lose.
It's just amusing the elitism of a fan of team that's not elite by any metric.

Illinois has been in it's offseason for about a month now. Time for you to leave this in-season thread.
That was almost clever the first ten times someone posted that. Now it's still not.

I think you need sleep. You're usually only slightly daft.
 
Yea how do they relate to a toll road?
In a broad context the idea of a toll road is the manipulation by the monied class to extract wealth from the common man. Who profits from a toll road? The road builder, the politician, the trucking company. It’s a regressive tax. The guy making minimum wage pays the same as the guy making 20 million a year. Communism is the same - the powerful abusing the underclass. Commie was a cheap term - coulda used republican, Democrat, nazi, socialist - I apologize if I offended in communists in this thread.

Oh JFC. Now we have to read this guy paraphrasing some info he found about toll roads.

Find a trace of that anywhere in any post I’ve made. What’s elite about a 4 year tourney run or sweet 16s? I wasn’t pointing and laughing at UI ...I was pointing and laughing at a fan of UI knocking Painter. Dumbass.

I don’t think you understand communism.

A communist society would do away with the class system because they believe that class warfare is the root of all evil. A communist society wouldn’t have toll roads, they believe in a society in which all property is publicly owned, hence no toll roads.
I think you should check out the reality of a communist regime. Because what they say and what they do are very different things. If you think Stalin, or Kruchev, or Mao or Putin or Castro actually experienced a classless society and didn’t controlled billions in assets. I got some prime land for you.

This is opening a whole can of worms that I will gladly discuss with you in the off season thread.
 
Not angry...Purdue is competitive in the B1G year in year out. The “Fighting” Illini not so much. You guys will suck again. Purdue’s “non-athletes” will finish ahead of Illinois again, and again , and again. Illinois is irrelevant in the B1G..I don’t think that changes anytime soon. Just my opinion. Relative worth of my opinion is near zero so no reason to get emotional.
Year in year out? You finished dead last a handful of years ago and we’re dogshit for a few years there. It’s not year in year out.

Their roster still sucks next year and their coach is pretty average. I'm not seeing them as an NCAA tournament next year.

I see a couple guys fearful of Illinois being what they were the majority of its existence. Like Michigan's fall from grace, it's not permanent. Just as the consequences of Bo Ryan's legacy are slowly slipping from relevance, so to will those of John Groce.
 
Do you really want to emulate a guy like hail?

I’m just messing around. This thread has turned into a dumpster fire. Anyway I think Illinios will be back it’s just going to take a few years until then you’re going to have to deal with people telling your program sucks on message boards. I dealt with it for a number of years it sucks but when you do actually have success it makes that success much better

Yeah, I'm not as worried about Illinois rebuilding as those two seem to be. I've dealt with it for a decade. I think I can handle a few more years!

And I was referencing the elitism that exists beyond our conversation. It's why this board has been annoyed with the Purdue contingent this season.

Your panties might need to be untwisted by a professional.

Translation...I see more than a few guys pointing and laughing at an Illinois fan begging to be relevant by trashing other programs.

You might want to change your focus off my underwear.

You translate two into more than a few? Is there anything you're good at?
 
Kansas is the dream school I believe. And you don't think Duke will have a 5* PF signed as well?
