I tried to go on the field but they wouldn't let me (said my press pass wasn't one of those with field access. So I went back up in the stands and recorded this as the Illini fans came down to celebrate with the team near the dugout (yes, dugout).
What a win. What a season. What an emotion. -
I knew I had to hit record immediately. So I recorded this one (very short) immediately after the final horn.
I have no idea what just happened but I love it. -
Episodes manquant?
-
The audio gets better after the first minute. Not much better, but better.
This one is just me taking listener questions as I drive from Birmingham to Piscataway dodging snowflakes. -
Just a workmanlike win. It’s so comforting to watch a game like this. So I started talking about it with two minutes left in the game.
-
I don't know why, but I started recording during our final drive attempting to tie the game. And then I just kept recording my thoughts immediately after the game. And then I walked out very sad.
-
This one was From The Parking Lot as I was headed out. Went on the road, got thumped, showed we still have a long way to go to compete with the best of the best. Here's my ramblings as I sat in traffic.
-
Sorry I'm so late with this. I tried and tried to upload it after the game but it just wouldn't go.
But here's TWENTY NINE MINUTES of me wandering around on the field after the game. -
I have no idea what to say. As you will hear after these 22 minutes of ramblings. It’s the worst I’ve ever felt about a win and I have no idea how to process that.
-
I thought I had an empty end of the pressbox so this From The Stands is From The Pressbox. But near the end, this Penn State media member starts pacing behind me (no idea why) so I get a little... scattered. It's just hard to gather your thoughts when someone is standing directly behind you while you're seated.
Anyway, here's my thoughts after Penn State beats Illinois 21-7. -
That was rather fun. I wandered around the field afterwards trying to put it all in perspective.
-
If you want to hear what it’s like inside my random brain, here you go.
-
It’s not really From The Stands. It’s from the stands, and then from the stair tower, and then from the fire truck.
Winner winner chicken dinner. -
Live from the stands after the Illini beat EIU 45-0 in the opener.
-
Each year, Tyler and I record a postseason therapy session to discuss our latest NCAA Tournament loss. This year, after making the Elite Eight, there's not much "therapy" needed. It's more of a... celebration.
-
I asked for questions on Twitter and Slack and then answered those questions as I drove to Omaha for the 1st & 2nd Round of the NCAA Tournament. I got to every single question, which is why this is 2 hours and 40 minutes long.
-
It's March. There's a Big Ten Tournament and then an NCAA Tournament ahead for the Illini. So Will and I sat down to discuss the Illini in March, past and present.
-
John Gasaway is writing his Bubble Watch columns again (the original and the best), so that's my signal each year to bring him on the podcast to talk Illini basketball. Thankfully, it's not the "do the Illini have a chance to make it to the right side of the bubble?" discussion it would have been in the 2010's.
-
I asked for questions on Twitter and then pressed record as I was driving from Columbus to Champaign in my (totally not stolen) rental car. I say "totally not stolen" because, well, just listen to the first five minutes.
-
You might have seen Mitch Gilfillan offering legal clarifications regarding the Terrence Shannon case on Twitter. With the news today that Shannon has been granted his TRO against the University, returning him to the roster and the rotation, I spoke to Mitch this evening to ask maybe a dozen legal questions. This was very helpful for me - I hope it's helpful for you as well.
-
I asked for questions on Twitter and Slack and then answered those questions live on the air. And then Carmen called me while I was recording so his phone call went in this pod as well. Also, I finished by playing some Richard Wagner through the car speakers and recording it with my laptop. As always, this is the finest podcast audio possible.
