It’s the most wonderful time of the damned year.
It’s the time of the year when we see Joe Lunardi in our dreams.
Goodbye “what if,” hello “right now.”
For Illini fans, this is the time where hope springs eternal.
Over the past few years, this is the time of year that Illinois’ rabid fanbase has been subsisting on wish sandwiches.
What’s a wish sandwich?
“Man, I wish the Illini could advance to the second weekend of the tournament.”
There has been no meat in that sandwich in a long time.
Hell, there hasn’t even been Impossible meat.
Will this year be different?
