Pretty sure this is a troll post, haha ... Illinois could lose one billion straight to Northwestern in every sport, and the Purple Kittens would still not be, in any way, a "big brother."

I think all Big Ten teams are ranked that are going to be. The 3MW guys are reall good.

It’s clearly a troll post. The survey abbreviation is ASSThey might be talking football.
Still. I think of "Little Brother" as more of an emotional dynamic rather than who's better. Even if Oklahoma State won 10 straight vs. Oklahoma, they would still have a weird inferiority complex toward OU. Northwestern is just too small of a school with too small of a fan base, and they were SO historically bad that it would take at least a few more generations of them being better than Illinois for Illini fans to not look down on their athletics ... even as they continue to beat us, lol. Except for last year!They might be talking football.
Looking at the graphic more closely, Wyoming is literally blue mountain state and Vermont is Monsters University. I wouldn’t spin your wheels too much trying to figure out the graphicStill.

What is decent in your mind?I’m biased, so you know my thought. I like Underwood’s recent success, but I’m also very interested to see what he does with this year’s team. We’ll see him change up his system again, and if he’s able to turn this team into a contender, that will be an impressive job.
Izzo has been cleaning up on the recruiting trail, and I’m not convinced he’s all of a sudden a bad coach. His decision to stand pat this off-season was perplexing, but his team should be decent again.
Sleeping wayyyy too much on Wisconsin.I think all Big Ten teams are ranked that are going to be. The 3MW guys are reall good.

I have no clue. Just thought it would get a few chuckles or wtf’s.Is this football only or what?
Shhhhhhh…Sleeping wayyyy too much on Wisconsin.
Pencil them somewhere from 3 to 6 in conference, IMO.
Probably, monsters university is historically terrible at football so that’s why they’re the little brother in Vermont.Is this football only or what?
I don’t really think anyone is taking it that seriously … maybe you just really wanted to insinuate we were stupid? Pointing out it’s a dumb map doesn’t mean someone is ~triggered~ by whatever floppy-haired Gen Z thought it was funny.Probably, monsters university is historically terrible at football so that’s why they’re the little brother in Vermont.
And I’m not even sure blue mountain state has a basketball program.
You would think people people on an online forum would have a healthy skepticism built up as a defense to not getting tricked by fake things on the internet. I suppose you can’t fix stupid though.
I’d put my life on the line that Wisconsin won’t finish behind all of Ohio St, Mich St, Iowa, Purdue, Indiana, Michigan, and Illinois.Shhhhhhh…
Tbh I just looked at the Midwest and the Southeast.Probably, monsters university is historically terrible at football so that’s why they’re the little brother in Vermont.

And I’m one that is hoping someday it happens once again. It just ain’t now lol
I guess that’s true, although last year they only had 1 non-con loss and that was to Providence, who ended up as a 4 seed in the tourney.Depends on if this rankings are counting full body of work or just conference play

The upset last year wasn’t a great look. The year prior they put up a respectable fight to Baylor.Gard has been booty cheeks in the tournament
As many sweet 16’s as Howard in their first few years.Gard has been booty cheeks in the tournament

Sounds like Tom CreanThis year will really inform my opinion of Coach Underwood a lot more. Even his biggest hater wouldn't deny that he's proven he can turn around a program in magnificent fashion ... he walked into a dumpster fire, and he was getting #1 seeds and winning conference championships a few years later. The 2021 NCAA loss was extremely disappointing, but I guess upsets happen; I am willing to let a coach get upset at least a couple of times in the Tournament before that becomes concerning (no, I do not think losing to a 5-seed Houston team that made the Elite Eight an "upset" in any way, shape or form).
However, he has had a lot of really good leadership through that time. I know we have a lot of talent, but if he can get these transfers and young guys to gel and be at least as successful as last season (maybe NOT winning the Big Ten but also making the Sweet Sixteen or something), I will be very impressed. As optimistic as I am about this season, we did lose every starter. It will be very impressive if he puts together another great season.
You could be right, you could be horribly wrong. So far, Underwood strikes me as less of a doofus as Tom Crean.Sounds like Tom Crean
Is he 5’6”? Cuz I might have a new favorite player if he is.Barry Sanders’ son is walking on the MSU basketball team.
Nobody will relieve Tom Crean of the highest doofus award.You could be right, you could be horribly wrong. So far, Underwood strikes me as less of a doofus as Tom Crean.
You undersold that by quite a bit. He was awfulYou could be right, you could be horribly wrong. So far, Underwood strikes me as less of a doofus as Tom Crean.

In the past 2 years MSU has a 4-2 record against UM in football/basketball.It’s looking like it will be to back years os Michigan finishing higher than MSU in both sports. That would be three straight in basketball. @MGC_07 not good.

We also finished with the same record in big ten play in basketball, UM didn’t finish higher.
I mean you didn’t say went further post season, you said finished higher.I’m so happy you went from thinking March matters to pretending March doesn’t exist 😂
NCAA Tournament Wins in the Juwan Howard era:
Juwan Howard - 5
67 Year old Izzo - 1
And is this where you pretend MSU winning a h2h football game trumps winning the Big Ten Championship again? Good luck with that, Gilligan.
I mean you didn’t say went further post season, you said finished higher.
And correct me if I’m wrong, but I don’t think I’ve ever said a h2h win>A Big Ten Title and a CFP appearance
No way, man, I’m one of the few Illini fans who doesn’t hate Iowa, though I did hate some of your hoops players (Bohannon and Conner McCaffrey). You’re the one who talks shit, but I also honestly love it. 😂Yikes. You fvckers hate me, lol.
