Parenting is buying 6 yogurts and watching them all get eaten In one day.
Then buying 12 yogurts and watching them expire because, “Nobody likes yogurt.”
@Stephen19718352@jack226RE This take feels spot on. And I lived it as a millenial w the same aspirations, yet I don’t know explicitly what examples of media, etc were pushing the narrative? Honestly curious because it resonates so much yet I can’t put my finger on major influences
@cobag12 Hell yes. Illini fans took over and was a blast. Just cause we lose doesn’t mean it can’t be enjoyed and appreciated while still being disappointed. If you can afford to splurge on a great experience why not?
@ChuckNaso I sat in the literal last row of the stadium. Would it be easier to see the game at home on a tv? Yes. Was it worth paying hundreds of dollars to barely see in an insane environment w thousands of passionate fans? Absolutely and would again
Dear Illini,
We’re proud. I am proud. I have 0 complaints. Wishing everyone the best in their futures and everyone returning we’re right back to it next season!!! #ILL
I’m not old enough to really remember ‘05. This team was responsible for my happiest memories as an Illini Basketball fan. I will always be grateful for that.
ILL forever. We will be back.
@BobZuppke Seems like Bielema is out there playing chess. Outsiders see ND and Ohio State poaching our coaches making us look good, when in reality he’s shedding weak links. Saves departing coaches face and lets Illinois bring in upgrades
@Jonathan_A_Hand@SteveKSnider They’ve been competing for big ten title and in the tourney every year for at least the last 5 years. Some down years under groce yes, but really not an excuse for fans to lose interest, they’ve been very good for a while
@liverpxxl9@FreddyQuinne The chocolate bar is a great analogy, things can be hard to give up because you enjoy them. That doesn’t mean it’s an addiction. If it’s so easy why doesn’t everyone eat healthy and not have any sugar, sweets, fast food? Temptation isn’t addiction
@StockChartsUP@WindyCityWxMan What would be most interesting is a heat map of season ticket holders home addresses. Doubtful could get data on all game attendees (secondary market) but season ticket holder data would exist, somewhere. .
@ALionEye Do you think Beckman may have been decent at identifying coaching talent? I wonder how much those guys were handpicked or how that came about
