DI Sports Wrap-Up

Time to stop being “Selfish”, be happy for Bill

I probably take sports a little too seriously sometimes.

Watching a game with me can be a strange experience. I yell loudly. I get frustrated. I have violent mood swings — angry at a bone-headed play one moment only to be elated seconds later if my team does something to make it all better. I’ve even been known to throw a remote or two.

Fans: Let Tiger hear your wrath at Masters

When I picture the atmosphere of Tiger Woods’ return to the game of golf after a four-month hiatus, I picture something along the lines of Adam Sandler in the movie “Happy Gilmore”. Beach balls were flying, fans were screaming, and there was, of course, that one guy yelling obscenities at him all day long.

Let the Madness begin

I’m not writing this column on the terms I thought I would be. Sadly, Illinois being excluded from the NCAA Tournament burst my bubble. Yes, you did read that right. I did just make that extremely lame pun.

There were some more deserving teams than the Illini

Although people are very disappointed that the Illini missed the NCAA Tournament, they had their chance but through missed opportunities allowed other teams to become more deserving.

Life (and death) on the bubble

The point of the NCAA Tournament, as I understand it, is to determine the best team in college basketball. I’m far from a NCAA committee member, but I am logical in this thought: To be the best, you have to beat the best. In no way am I saying they’re the best, but our Illini have beaten many of the best.

Illini knock off Badgers, prepare to dance

INDIANAPOLIS -- For a while there, it seemed Illinois was the kid standing against the loser wall at the high school prom, dreading each oncoming girl. Maybe Illinois didn’t know how, maybe it was self-conscious, maybe it would crumble under the pressure.

Iraqi voters risk lives for change

A few days ago, voters flocked to their local polling places to cast their ballots during a crucial time. Voters were so excited about choosing their future representation that they brought their kids along for the experience.
