My beloved Illinois men’s basketball team is very, very good, but this is ridiculous. It’s almost as bad as the anchor at ESPNEWS who asked Tuesday after Illinois won at Michigan State where the Fighting Illini rank among the greatest college-basketball teams ever. Sheesh.
My two sports loves are the Red Sox (since 1986) and the men’s basketball team at the University of Illinois (my alma mater), and together they pretty much occupy me year-round. When baseball season ends in October, it’s time for college basketball, and when the Final Four is done, opening day of baseball season is upon us.
