It took me until late yesterday to come around to putting the Illini loss behind me. For a couple days I thought I wouldn’t even root for Loyola. But they deserve it. They outplayed Illinois. And definitely out coached them.

It reminds me of the billboard wars during Big Ten Conference Football with both Illinois and Northwestern claiming to be the “Big Ten” team for Chicago. That grudge match did not go so well for Lovie Smith.
Loyola played a terrific game on Sunday. The Ramblers should have been ranked higher for tournament.

They went, they won, they even got the t-shirt
- Duke - Wednesday, Mar 24, 21 @ 2:18 pm:
Wow, they even got the correct state outline on the shirt.
- Oswego Willy - Wednesday, Mar 24, 21 @ 2:18 pm:
A shirt designed to make some “I-L-L”
- 47th Ward - Wednesday, Mar 24, 21 @ 2:19 pm:
They need to enjoy it while they can.
- Oswego Willy - Wednesday, Mar 24, 21 @ 2:19 pm:
“That’s not the Illinois I know”
- Bailey and the 51st silly crowd, maybe.

Tell me you’ve never been south of South Loop without *telling* me you’ve been south of South Loop.
- 47th Ward - Wednesday, Mar 24, 21 @ 2:20 pm:
Much cooler than the Griffindor scarfs.
- Oswego Willy - Wednesday, Mar 24, 21 @ 2:20 pm:
“Blessed by Sister Jean”
- Oswego Willy - Wednesday, Mar 24, 21 @ 2:21 pm:
“The Illini look forward to avenge this loss… sometime in the 2060s, according to scheduling”
- Give Me A Break - Wednesday, Mar 24, 21 @ 2:21 pm:
Have to give them credit. They took down the over hyped, overrated and out of the tourney Illini.
- Oswego Willy - Wednesday, Mar 24, 21 @ 2:22 pm:
It comes in one size, B1G

I like this kind of shade… I might have to order one.

Lord, I was born a rambling man, trying to win a title and doing the best I can

Winning has consequences…and benefits.
- Oswego Willy - Wednesday, Mar 24, 21 @ 2:30 pm:
Loyola is a basketball school.

Sour fate?
- JoanP - Wednesday, Mar 24, 21 @ 2:36 pm:
I thought this was a blue state.
- Third Reading - Wednesday, Mar 24, 21 @ 2:37 pm:
This season Loyola beat Chicago State, UIC, Lewis U, U of St. Francis, ISU (twice), Bradley (twice), SIU (three times) and U of I.
I think that warrants a shirt.

=This season Loyola beat Chicago State, UIC, Lewis U, U of St. Francis, ISU (twice), Bradley (twice), SIU (three times) and U of I.=
They didn’t play NIU, EIU, WIU, or SIUE–however, if they did they most likely would have won anyway, possibly big.

My team went all the way to the Sweet Sixteen and all I got was this lousy T-shirt.
- Candy Dogood - Wednesday, Mar 24, 21 @ 2:44 pm:
Why does the design look so sad?
- Oswego Willy - Wednesday, Mar 24, 21 @ 2:46 pm:
When you Crush the Orange, you get a t-shirt
- DuPage Saint - Wednesday, Mar 24, 21 @ 3:05 pm:
Can I get one in Orange and Blue?
- Jibba - Wednesday, Mar 24, 21 @ 3:07 pm:
There’s no “I” in team.
- Oswego Willy - Wednesday, Mar 24, 21 @ 3:10 pm:
===Can I get one in Orange and Blue?===
Of course.
Of course it says “Their State” with the Loyola mascot marking where UIUC is, but orange and blue, yeah…
:)

What did Sister Jean give up for lent? Losing! Ramble on Loyola!
- The Captain - Wednesday, Mar 24, 21 @ 3:14 pm:
You can’t spell Loyola without L-O-L.
- Bruce( no not him) - Wednesday, Mar 24, 21 @ 3:25 pm:
We had a Rambler when I was a kid. Not a great memory.

That’s a shirt I’d like to see adopted everywhere not just by Loyola U. Very nice design indeed.
