I ordered a pizza at 9:47pm.
When the delivery guy arrived, he handed me the box and said, "Big apartment for just one person."
I felt a sudden chill, so I lied. "Oh, my roommates are asleep in the back."
He smiled, nodded, and left.
Ten minutes later, my phone buzzed. It was a text from the delivery app: “Your driver has arrived with your order.”
I stared at the screen, confused. I looked down at the pizza box on my kitchen counter. Then I looked at the app again. The driver's profile picture on the screen was a completely different man.
My heart hammered against my ribs. I crept to the front door and looked through the peephole.
The first man was still standing out there in the dim hallway light. He wasn't walking back to an elevator. He was just standing perfectly still, holding an empty insulated delivery bag.
Then, my phone rang. It was an unknown number. I answered it, my voice shaking. "Hello?"
A voice on the other end, the voice of the man outside my door, whispered:

@kirk_denz@ryanpolls_@IlliniAD From what I best remember from the conversation, some sort of fundraising requirement was part of Krush. There are obviously more students interested in Krush than spots available. It just seemed that a spot in Krush had a $ requirement many students could not afford.
@AB1132 I did speak with a recent grad who was in Orange Krush very recently. He shared that there is some sort of money requirement to be considered for Krush. Might be cool since they give to charities, but $ requirement could exclude really rabid fans.
@itsAntWright Without Wagler you are putting a lineup out there of slower and taller players. Play zone with the bigger lineup or let Lee or Petrovic play man on their smaller guards.
@200ColumnsRy@TheOrangeKrush Try looking into how students get into Orange Crush in the first place. I have been told it has more to do with $$$ than being a fanatical Illini fan.
@glenn_kinley Exhaustion directly causes those missed free throws, turnovers, and giving up offensive rebounds. Tired legs kind of sums up everything. Not sure why Lee and Petrovic couldn't get any minutes(maybe just to foul)??
@wischlist Also frustrating that apparently Lee cannot even give you 5-7 minutes and match up with(foul?) some of these Wisconsin guards that are torching us tonight.
@sportsmockery@NCAA The main thing to notice here is how Fears doesn't even flinch upon contact. He was braced and ready for Mirkovic to trip over him. Dirty play! Who stops after a pass and immediately steps left for no good reason?
@sarge____ Oh yeah, forgot about BBall. Check your BIG history to seen how consistently Illinois has been good. I think something like seven straight 20 win seasons.
@sarge____ Have you heard of the #1 income generating sport in tne NCAA - Football? Probably not since Michigan State has been irrelevant there for many years? Any portal guys you want to send our way so they can experience winning?
@joelthemingway They will be out by the 2nd round of the NCAAs. Not getting all those calls, plus what they pull on the defensive/rebounding end will catch up to them quickly come tournament time.
