Quick Monday morning mutterings

By Jeff Mayfield

[DEC. 2, 2002]  The Bears looked good for a lot of the game but then faded. Not sure it's the worst thing for them to lose in this situation, as it does seem to put them in a better draft position later.

The Illini will have to play much better against North Carolina on Tuesday than they did against Western Illinois yesterday. Give WIU some credit, as they were gritty and scrappy. Illinois, on the other hand, looked pretty sloppy at times.

Brian Cook led the way with 17 points and six rebounds. Cook also tallied his 1,166th point, which helped him pass two former Illini greats, Kevin Turner (1,150) and Skip Thoren (1,164). In addition it was the 87th start he has recorded in his illustrious career and the 60th time he's hit for double figures.

The Illini are now 28-1 at the Hall under Bill Self and now have an all-time record of 98-12 against in-state rivals.

The Illini honored the Hall's seven-millionth fan, Dale Trulock. Basketball has been played in the Hall since March of 1963. Last year Illinois sold out all of their games for the first time in 30 years!

How 'bout those Railers? The Lincoln squad went a sparkling 5-0 to win their own Turkey Shootout! Next up for Lincoln is a road contest versus SH-G in Springfield.

The Chicago Bears fought valiantly but came up short 30-20 north of the cheese curtain. But what is going on with the St. Louis Rams? The one good thing about them is that they’re now starting Lincoln's Andy King. The Eagles did win 10-3, but without McNabb do they have enough firepower to go far in the postseason? We think not…

No word on any of the area teams in girls basketball…

We did catch most of the Carroll Catholic-Lincoln Junior High contest last week. What a barnburner that one was! Great coaching by LJHS' Donnie Aeilts and CC's Todd Lowman, who was filling in for Brian Brackney.

The Brackneys were a little busy coaching their new little girl into the world. Rachel Ann Brackney hit the scales at 9 pounds, 13 ounces and measured 21 inches long. Congratulations to the Brackneys from the LDN!

The ISU Redbirds are struggling out of the gate a little bit this year, falling to UIC 65-78. Gregg Alexander was second in scoring with 12, but the 'Birds could not find consistent scoring to get over the hump. Next up is a Monday night contest with Chattanooga. (See pre-game notes.)

* * *

"FANdamonium" is hoping to have some very special guests on tonight' show. We’re hoping that during our middle, local segment we will have Mount Pulaski night! That's right!

We're awaiting final confirmation even now, but we hope to have state volleyball finalist coach Donna Dulle and new Hilltopper coach Jim Jumper on tonight's show. If for any reason that doesn't happen, we hope to have them both very soon. Mount Pulaski has always had loyal and faithful fan support, and now we understand that they're hooked up to our local cable system as well. See you at 6 tonight!

Have a great week, everybody!

[Jeff Mayfield]
