Illinois Fighting Illini (you'll see)

Damn. Every time I see this thread bumped I'm hopeful that it's littered with posts by ThaKid.

Those of us who knew him best talk about him often. I swear, the stuff he pulled... Sometimes it makes me sad, though, ThaKid being gone. I have to remind myself that some birds aren't meant to be caged. Their feathers are just too bright and when they fly away, the part of you that knows it was a sin to lock them up does rejoice, but still, the place you live in is that much more drab and empty now that they're gone. I guess I just miss our friend.

He's out there. Somewhere. Endlessly hyping 2* impact Florida kids. Watching. Waiting. He'll be back. And it will be glorious. Because he's the hero that BP deserves, but not the one it needs right now...and so we'll hunt him...because he can take it...because he's not a hero...he's a silent guardian, a watchful protector...the Orange Knight

Last time I saw him active (June or July) he was hyping up the S&C program and what physical specimens the players had become. He proclaimed Illinois would have the best OL in football in short order.

The first two responses were, "I could name 10 OL that will be better than ours," followed immediately by, "... in the conference."

A quick recruiting update,

the Illini machine currently has the 64th rated class nationally (last in the B1G) per scout...behind such power brokers as Duke, Texas Tech, the Juggaloes, Kansas, Wake Forest, UCF and Temple. Their best recruit is ranked #191 nationally. Their commits are ranked thusly at their respective positions:

17
56
68
18
40
53
201
108
42
63
107
40
NA
134

But, hey! They have landed the following FL recruits. And thakid always said FL recruits were better than their rankings. Ignore the results from the last decade, mmmkay? Their rankings in the state of FL are as follows...

259
NA
205
204
55
104

They're on their way back. Just wait, you'll see.

This thread's name is "dumpster fire", how long can a dumpster fire last before it's just considered the way of life?

I believe the scientific term for a refuse bin conflagration that burns uncontrolled until it has exhausted it's fuel supply is "Illinois"

ex. "That dumpster behind the waffle house burned for so long it went Illinois"
