They are, imo. I think UL and UK fans, while really annoying and typically generationally inbred, are good fans. Illinois fans can’t name their starting 5 when they aren’t a top 25 team. 

One of my top 5 favorite things on this board is Hova’s absolute hatred for anything Illinois basketball related.

Facts.  I'd like to add another annoying fanbase too.  I don't like much about UK fans, but generally they're knowledgeable about college basketball.  Illinois and Kansas fans know nothing about college basketball outside of their own programs.

Hova and I share something in common. Their Fandom not the people. I have siblings and other relatives who are fans. Lol

Force me to say 2 positive things about Illinois basketball and all I got is:

-Ayo Dosunmu is the only good Illinois guard that I haven’t wished pink eye upon.

-There’s a Hooters reasonably close State Farm Arena.

Here’s the thing, you’re right, no doubt. Henson was 1 of the dirtiest coaches ever and Jimmy Collins was maybe the most brazen bagman in cbb history. And, yeah, their fans are fair weather and suck. But, man, the Flyin’’ Illini may have been the most fun college team to watch I’ve ever seen. Couldn’t root against them.

An all-time great uniform team.

No stripper poles for Louisville frosh Mike James this season.  Out for the year with an achilles.

This was so strange that he ended up at Marquette.

The Marquette pictures were no better. Definitely a different kid.

Funny story(at least to me), on the day of the FF Semi Finals in 89, my 2nd cousin who was also my classmate got married. Back then weddings in my town lasted all day, married at 11, reception following and dance that night(good times). The Flying Illini and Michigan played right before the dance started, so a Big screen TV was rolled in to the Hall to watch the game. Of the 500 or so there, only 2 were cheering against the Illini, myself and a guy that didn't watch Sports, but was a contrarian. When Michigan hit the game winning shot, we started cheering. A lot of people were mad at me for awhile. I remember one guy I know well, came up to me and said "I suppose you're happy". My response was "Hell yea, let me buy you a beer." Quite a few people wouldn't talk to me until about halfway through the dance.

Incredibly misleading statement by Few. He’s missing 2 exhibition games and 1 reg season game, Dixie St. That’s 1 game. And he’s missing no practice time. Disappointed with the statement almost as much as the penalty.

[HoosierAloha 30,058]

Agreed to being disappointed in the statement. "I understand the severity of my actions" - that's great. "am sorry for the impact this consequence has on our team" - ummm, it's the impact of your decision. It sounds like he's sorry he got caught and not that he did it.
