Whoa, that is rich. Given the yearlong gloat Illinois fans did on the KU boards during 2005. I agree people should just enjoy success but that may not be something your fanbase is capable of

And the 2005 gloating by a subset of our fans was only a couple years after Self left. It doesn't make it right but the wound was still pretty fresh at that point. I will admit that I laughed my ass off when KU got beat by the killer B teams but it was less about Self butthurt and more about the fact that I normally liked seeing KU lose. |

Weber loses again. What a joke.

Best you can hope for is an utter collapse. Trust me, you don't want those years where you squeak into the dance as an 11/12 seed because Currie will use that as a good reason to keep Bubbles around. After all, he does walk his own dogs and mow his own yard.

Agreed. The Big XII is looking fairly strong this year so he should get his ass kicked thoroughly in conference play. I imagine one of the promising freshman we have will transfer, so at best he'll get fired after next season.

I took my girlfriend along with some other friends to the Champions Classic last week, and her boss is an Illini fan- so she wanted to make sure she could cut out a little early last Tuesday. He was totally cool with it and everything she says about the guy seems like he's a good guy and not a bad boss to have. She mentioned KU just casually saying her boyfriend and his friends went to KU (she went to Notre Dame) and she said he flipped- like saw red. She got stuck she said for about 20 minutes having to listen to him trash Self and KU. It was like a bizarre therapy session where he just kept venting while at the same time trying to indoctrinate her as to why she should hate KU for X, Y, Z. Really odd, and she was just kind of bemused, standing there eyes glazing over because she's not some huge sports fan and the guy might as well have been speaking Spanish. A good majority of the Illinois fans have moved along from this, since it has been a decade and all, but there is a vocal contingent that still will shout nasty shit if I happen to be wearing something with KU on it just walking around Chicago.

Precisely. I liked that 2005 team at IL, they played a fun brand of basketball and I was interested seeing if that was how Self would build KU basketball, around guards. (As it turned, he built it around big buys really). I wanted them to win the title but damn those cats would come over and just rip Self constantly. It was annoying.

Losing Cliff to KU, especially with the hat fake, woke up the beast in the vocal idiot minority of the fanbase. |

Hell unc fans are melting down. I've seen posts stating that Wiggins didn't go there only because Roy wouldn't promise him he didn't have to take classes for the spring semester, and didn't want to work as hard as Roy would make him and he could coast under Self. Now, that's delusional!!!!

UNC fans should not, I repeat not, be discussing "easy classes" at other schools.
