I’ll take that bet… 😉. Could be quite a few less Purdue fans around here come April… still need to get a ban bet with @Toast. and @boiler1987

Hunter Dickinson when asked about him hating Illinois at Big Ten Media Days:
"I think that quote got a little misconstrued. The players aren't that bad. I'm cool with Kofi. I don't really know Curbelo too much but he seems cool. It's really their fans. They just act like they're some powerhouse in the Big Ten and they're really not. I mean they're one of the best teams in the Big Ten now. ... I think their fans are kind of annoying. You know, obviously some fans are kind of... Michigan State, you're gonna get a lot of hate from them. Ohio State, not too bad. But Illinois' fans, they are just pretty annoying. I'm not gonna lie."
Sounds like he's been reading this thread and interacting with some of the Illinois fans we deal with daily 🤣🤣🤣

Lol this is gold. The best part is it’s all fact.
It's probably really annoying to talk shit and then get ass blasted by 30 and have to hear about it.
It’s probably fun to win as many tournament games in his freshman season than the entire Illinois program has in 15 years combined.
1-8 with 6 points and 5 rebounds.
Maybe next time Illini fans will motivate him more?
Doubtful the results will be pretty though, as we have Omar Payne.
Hunter Dickinson: 3 tournament wins as a freshman.
Entire Illinois basketball program: 3 tournament wins since 2006
Hunter Dickinson couldn’t even get to OT versus an 11 seed.
Michigan State gave them a closer game.
Pathetic, at least Illinois had the decency to lose to a single digit team.
Yes I’m sure Dickinson is jealous of Illinois losing in the 2nd round and hated winning a Sweet 16 game.
I am so tired of the Michigan/Illinois shit posting. I wish we didnt lose in the second round. I wish that we havent sucked for most of the last 15 years. I wish Michigan didnt make it to the elite 8. I was kind of jealous then and I still am now.
Michigan and Illinois are both very good teams. They were both very good teams last year. Michigan bitched out last season on their way to the regular season title. That is my opinion and it wont ever be changed. Our team played like bitches in the NCAA tournament against a hungrier team. We had a final four worthy team and we lost to in-state Loyola. It still pisses me off. The only thing we won last year is at the very very bottom of my yearly wish list...A big ten conference championship. Whoop-deee-fricken-doo!

Is this the chorus of this thread? I keep hearing it.
I don't think you're wrong for feeling the way that you do, but at a certain point you just stfu and move on. That's why your fanbase is so annoying. Your AD sending his little whiny letter to Kevin Warren was the cherry on top. Just stfu and win the next year
Well, it's officially "next year". Lets stop talking about last year and the 15 or so years before it.
I'm totally cool with that. Now we have to get the other posters to buy in...
There’s not a chance in hell the Illinois posters can move on from a few head to head games from the past two years. And everytime they bring them up I’ll remind them of how bad your program has been despite a few wins vs Michigan. Sorry that you and this thread are collateral damage
I’m guessing it’s the fact that Illinois called his team and his coach a bunch of cowards who dodge games. And then they went into their house and beat them by 20, without an AA.
But you’re right I’m sure it’s something else, that’s gotta be it.
You’d think Hunter would have some beef with an 11-seed if the tournament was that important to him.
But no he’s still got a regular season bloodbath on his mind.
You’re in your 20s. You were in what… 3rd grade… the last time Illinois made a Sweet 16? Hopefully you see it again before Rivals dies out.
Rent free... how many pages can you go with out mentioning Illinois or Underwood?
I’m an equal opportunity troller. You guys just make it easy by constantly throwing me fastballs down the middle of the zone.
Illinois fanbase is definitely annoying. They take on the personality of their whiny coach and bonehead players. I guess its just Michigan's turn now. Many other teams have already had their turn dealing with this type of stuff from the team.
1.
Things got chippy between Iowa's Fran McCaffery and Illinois assistants in postgame handshake line
Things got heated between the two benches.

5. Damontae Williams received a technical for trying to breakup a Wisconsin team huddle
Illinois reminds me of Joe Pesci in Goodfellas. Constantly with a chip on their shoulder for no reason, constantly inventing beefs out of thin air, and then just like Pesci got blindsided when it was supposed to be his best night becoming made, Illinois got blindsided as a 1 seed in the tournament in the same way as they failed to reach the Sweet 16 yet again.
I'm guessing Williams was wrongly accused as Tucker was trying to break up the team huddle, literally.

“You are getting things a little misconstrued here. I think Illinois is a solid team and I think they deserve top 25 consideration, I just don't see how they are better than the 6 teams I have above them in my conference rankings. They all seem better in my eyes. I definitely don't see them as the 11th best team in the nation. But make no mistake about it, they are a clear tournament team in my eyes. I dont want my conference predictions to sway people into thinking I believe they aren't a good team. They are definitely a good team.“
-Ingersol in the rank your conference thread
Why won’t you make an avatar bet with me?
Because I've thought about it some more and think you're closer to being right than I am. Illinois has a pretty talented roster I underrated. Have read some previews from some places and I cant imagine I was right about them.

2. Was legit. Ayo got his nose broken. Any team would be pissed.
3. Bush league. There was a reason he wasn’t on the team last year
4. 🤷♂️
5. I mean a coach got t’d up with Monte
6. You forgot one that cost Illinois the regular season title
Wasn’t expecting this type of response tbh.
So instead of 7th with 9 to 11 wins in conference, where are we up to now?
I'm not the person to ask. I dont know. Ill think about it some more and answer in March.
Staging a coup, secretly recording a meeting, being a bad assistant coach, etc, etc.
And he didn't leave, more so than he was invited not to return.
