    HAHA great pic! Maybe if they kick him off the team we'll actually be better than the Illini again in the big ten!! Wishful thinking though ...

    Man, this is unfortunate and really sad. I hope this kid gets his stuff together and everything works out for him in the end.

    I agree. I want Illinois and especially Bruce Weber to be at the bottom of the Big Ten, but not this way. Hopefully the kid gets his act together, although I do agree that Weber definitely has to cut ties.

    even though I hate bruce with all the passion in the world, I feel depressed when any kid does actions to hurt a team. i hope he someday gets his stuff in order, and betters himself down the line.

    I feel bad that it's had to end up this way for Smith, but the fact that Illinois has allowed him to remain on the team after what originally transpired is unbelievable to me.

    let me clarify...I do not feel sorry for Illinois...for the kid, that's a different story...i echo the sentiments of others, and hopefully he can get his act together

    I know we had our problems but other than a few inhales of marijuana, our players never commited crimes that hindered others. Illinois should have tried to help the kid out instead of finding ways for him to play on the team. When IU sacrifices playing time and overlooks a kid who really need help, I will stop watching IU basketball without any regret.

    That's what happens when Brucey recruits all his players from the United States Penitentiary in Marion. Take note of all the orange jumpsuits in the student sections at Dis-Assembly Hall in Champaign, that's not a coincendence. Have you ever heard their chants, like orange crush (the official prison beverage) or their favorite, thug life. Really, who cares about Prison Shank University though, in 3-4 years, Coach Tom Crean will have the IU program eclipsing them again, and Brucey will be coaching at Chipola Junior College.

    Sorry to hear about this. We have had our share of problems, so I guess I'm happy no more bad news has come from IU and the problems are at another school this time.

    Don't you think that high level news of conference competitors is relevant to IU basketball?

    I think the subject is relevant, but the editorial comment at the bottom is unnecessary.

    Any situation such as this is not a positive for the image of the Big Ten and is unfortunate.

    When you live on Tobacco Road rather than the heart of the Big Ten Conference, the perspective changes and becomes more conference oriented. Y'all don't know what it's like in ACCville.... :-)
