I'll ban bet you right now we make the tourney next year.So what’s your argument? Are you advocating to be Blockbuster instead of Netflix? Don’t adapt to them changing landscape and hope and pray the old way works every 4 years?

I didn't watch.So after watching the tournament this year, your takeaway was you should build your roster like those mid-majors? Interesting.
Mine was Miami and UConn (bought rosters) look a lot more fun, and actually have a chance to win it all (unlike FAU or SDSU)
😂I'll ban bet you right now we make the tourney next year.
Ban bet our new norm is the NIT.😂
There should be zero reason for any legitimate program to miss the tournament. It is easier than ever.
Are you advocating that teams should not inject talent into their program with their NIL funds?
NIT games on at the same time?I didn't watch.
And no, nowhere did I say that. But I will laugh at every team that spends millions on zero tourney wins.
We'll be back in next year. No worries here.NIT games on at the same time?
And good. I will continue to laugh at programs that can’t even make the tourney.
You’re all over the place. Was there NIL and the transfer portal in 2010?Ban bet our new norm is the NIT.
Explain Illinois 2010's decade then.
I've never said teams shouldn't inject talent. But I will laugh at the $ spent on zero results. Sooner or later, donors aren't going to put up with that shit.
Far from a guarantee at this point.We'll be back in next year. No worries here.
Put your money where your mouth is about our "new norm" in the NIT.You’re all over the place. Was there NIL and the transfer portal in 2010?
What’s it going to take for Wisconsin to develop NIL?
And that’s wishful thinking. Donors may give up on a coach/AD, but they aren’t giving up on a program forever.
I don’t care about a ban bet. I likely will organically ban myself as this board dies - it’s a bit analogous to Wisconsin basketball.
Ban bet? Since your brethren won't back up his bullshit. Doesn't have to be permanent. Name your terms.Far from a guarantee at this point.
But a play-in 11 seed isn’t out of the picture.
Nah.Ban bet? Since your brethren won't back up his bullshit. Doesn't have to be permanent. Name your terms.
Both all hat and no cattle. Figures.Nah.
I will bet Illinois is finishes better in conference and has a better seed come March.
I don’t care if Wisconsin scrapes in as a double digit seed.
Goddamn your expectations are low if making the Tourney is the highest bar for where you’ll do bets.Both all hat and no cattle. Figures.
It has nothing to do with what I said/think.Goddamn your expectations are low if making the Tourney is the highest bar for where you’ll do bets.
But it’s good that you’ve came to terms with where Wisconsin is relative to Illinois.
So the only bet you’ll take is if Wisconsin will make the tourney?It has nothing to do with what I said/think.
Or Illinois makes sweet 16So the only bet you’ll take is if Wisconsin will make the tourney?
So nothing that compares Illinois and Wisconsin I take it?Or Illinois makes sweet 16
That's not the issue at hand. Don't care how we do relative to one another.So nothing that compares Illinois and Wisconsin I take it?
Makes sense, comparing your program to something that’s better would lead to a lot of unhappiness.That's not the issue at hand. Don't care how we do relative to one another.

Nothing silly about it.peak silly season
I never said that. I gave you betting options. You declined. I'm done. Enjoy silly season.Nothing silly about it.
Your x2 B1G Coach of the year is returning his top 5 scorers and you still think you’ll be worse than Illinois.
Crazy lack of faith
You don’t have to say it.I never said that. I gave you betting options. You declined. I'm done. Enjoy silly season.
Im saying TJD got paid before NIL, most highly rated kids did.Whenever you say “achieve nothing” just remember that your team won a game more than that team. TJD won a SINGLE tournament game after 4 seasons😂
And it’s also cute that you think you have any idea what Illinois spent. Oh and our players are also recruited “legally”, whatever that’s supposed to insinuate.
I’m surprised how upset you are right now.Put your money where your mouth is about our "new norm" in the NIT.
We've got NIL. How much, I don't know. It's not enough still.
Maybe a change of scenery will help? Didn’t he get benched on a mediocre Oregon team? Will be fun watching him guard Edey.
We'll see how he does, has the talent but didn't seem to put it together at Oregon.
Sounds about right to me… more if the big boys get involved. Gtown initial offer to Hunter was 700k.For the non-Purdue folks, what do y’all think it should take to bring Edey back NIL-wise? Sounds like he was in the $800-900k range this year.
I thought it’d be around a mil, so that range makes sense.For the non-Purdue folks, what do y’all think it should take to bring Edey back NIL-wise? Sounds like he was in the $800-900k range this year.
Huge talent......Ceiling is absurd. Rather he reaches that or not is to be seen...Maybe a change of scenery will help? Didn’t he get benched on a mediocre Oregon team? Will be fun watching him guard Edey.
As long as he plays hard, he’s totally worth it. Stretch 5, who can protect the rimHuge talent......Ceiling is absurd. Rather he reaches that or not is to be seen...
That basically describes what vonleh was in college too, so we’ve seen that before at leastAs long as he plays hard, he’s totally worth it. Stretch 5, who can protect the rim
But sometimes he coasts, which will drive fans crazy
Has the potential to be better defensively, but not as much polish on offense as VonlehThat basically describes what vonleh was in college too, so we’ve seen that before at least
Going full nuclear option with Greg Gard as a coach doesn’t scream ‘cool, calm, and collected’ to me. That’s not even considering that you were upset to the point it impacted your reading comprehension.Not even close
I have confidence we’ll make the tourney next year. You don’t. It’s all good.Going full nuclear option with Greg Gard as a coach doesn’t scream ‘cool, calm, and collected’ to me. That’s not even considering that you were upset to the point it impacted your reading comprehension.
