Yeah, I graduated high school in 2005 haha. Doesn’t seem that recent to me. I will agree to disagree.

In reply to Brian. I'm probably older than you, which means five years isn't that long to me. Nevertheless, I think we should just end it with agreeing to disagree. You think my standards are too high and I think yours are too low. Let's just leave it at that, shall we?

2005 was 5 years ago. That’s not all that recent.

Illinois was unranked and beat a team ranked #5 that day. That’s very worthy in my opinion. I think your standards are way too high for when to rush the court.

In reply to Brian.

We just have to agree to disagree on when it’s appropriate. Illinois was in the NCAA Finals as recently as 2005, and although they’ve dropped from that elite level it’s not like they’ve completely sh!t themselves in the interim (3 NCAA appearances since). And even if we go by your analysis of this year is the most important criteria, well, the Illini are now 8-3 in the B10 for Chrissakes – merely one game behind MSU. It’s not like they’re Penn State and can’t beat anyone worth a damn and this was some amazing game for them – in fact, they were a one-point underdog according to Vegas coming into the game. Is that RTC-worthy in your eyes?

Hate to get on you again about this stuff but that was Illinois first win over a top 5 Big Ten team in 9 years according to ESPN. That’s worthy of rushing the court.
