I really, really hope TJ hits it big in the NBA... Archived Message Posted by uofi1998 on March 19, 2025, 11:20:49, in reply to "largely due to TSJ's embracing of it" ...because the way he has handled everything in his life has been first class. The last 15 months or so for him have been crazy... even the good stuff went sideways, whether it be the 30-0 UConn run, or his jersey going in upside down. He should go down as an absolute legend - the kind that our kids' kids will learn about and be proud he was an Illini. If he has a great NBA career, everything else will be forgotten. We won't forget anyway, but we're all psychos. I'm talking about the non-psychos. Message Thread: | This response ↓ Posted?

It's really hard to put a throwback leather-helmet look on a modern helmet - IlliniOllie March 19, 2025, 7:20:22 They were great, I think they achieved what the gray ghost unis tried and mostly failed. Felt like - Warrin'_Illini March 19, 2025, 8:57:50 ^^This. Jerseys/pants not much different than other throwbacks, but helmets were "chef's kiss". ^^ - osklister March 19, 2025, 8:53:43 We usually eff something like this up, but hit a home run.* - ibdoc March 19, 2025, 6:44:16 Sadly for every leather helmet design there is an upside down banner* - ArtVandelay March 19, 2025, 7:29:48 IMO, the upside down banner just makes for an amusing anecdote* - Sounder March 19, 2025, 10:57:35 largely due to TSJ's embracing of it - IlliniSax05 March 19, 2025, 11:17:33 In the grand scheme of things, it's really not a big deal* - Sounder March 19, 2025, 11:41:43 I really, really hope TJ hits it big in the NBA... - uofi1998 March 19, 2025, 11:20:49 seems like he's going to need to be traded at least in the short term - Gene Parmesan March 19, 2025, 11:28:53 Mad at the Suns every day for not taking him. - uofi1998 March 19, 2025, 12:27:58 Just watch.
