And funny!!!

I absolutely love Illinois athletics and will try to absorb as much content as possible no matter the source. I’ve tried listening a few times but even after big wins/news it’s hard to be excited with their lack of energy. I quickly lose interest in their soft spoken tone. Their content is awesome and they do a good job organizing but it’s very difficult to want to keep listening if there’s not going to be a lot of energy. Underwhelming enthusiasm effort for podcasters talking about a B1G program.

Some good Illini coverage If you can put up with Jim Rossow‘s constant annoying sarcasm. Not sure why Scott Rickey doesn’t just punch his lights out.

Scott Richey is the goods - he's a great Illini basketball beat writer, in a long line of talent (Dawson, Klee, etc). Jim succeeds at adding some humor. A good albeit short show.

Love the content, topics as well as depth. So much so that I felt the need to comment. I really want to listen. I’m asking for your help. The sound quality is at times quite poor. I find that Scott will make some quick comments, speaking rapidly, when the volume fades. This rarely occurs at the podcast beginnings but 10-15 minutes into listening, I have to rewind or shut down. Anything you can do to improve sound quality is greatly appreciated.

This podcast would get four or five stars for me, because I’m a lifelong a addict to Illini basketball. I love the content and the banter, and the inside information from Scott. I listen to the episodes, and it takes me back to Champaign. But Scott Richie, you have GOT TO speak up man. Frequently I have to rewind to try and catch what you said, especially when answering questions from your podcast partners. You’re a big guy, with a big voice, use it so we can hear you.

Scott and Jim make a great pair. Always interesting to hear the thoughts of an AP top 25 voter.

This episode with Jeff was BY FAR the best of this podcast! Very insightful chat and questions. More my speed than the usual weekly ribbing and banter. In any case, would love to see more of these with Jeff! Either way, I’m always listening every week to get my Illini fix- thanks to all of you for your effort and dedication. So nice to be able to consume content despite living in warm SoCal

Informed and quite funny

Wow. Are either of these guys awake?

I really like hearing about Illini sports but these guys make it tough. It sounds like one of them really doesn’t want to be there which drags it down.
