NashvILLe05Mike, Stop InterruptingGuys, I enjoy the podcast but Mike interrupts Ked, Brad, and Matt way too much to the point that I almost turned it off. Most recently the episode recapping the Duke MBB loss. Please be conscious of this.
-
Alsingh15Must listen“I on the Illini” is a fantastic podcast for any University of Illinois basketball fan. Sturdy, Ked, and Mike bring incredible energy and in-depth analysis to every episode. Their passion for Illini basketball is contagious, and their discussions are both insightful and engaging. Whether breaking down recent games, discussing player performances, or diving into the team’s strategy, they always provide a thoughtful perspective that keeps fans informed and excited. This podcast is a must-listen for die-hard fans and casual supporters alike. Highly recommend for anyone who bleeds orange and blue!

stonedawg23Love it!Well done. Great insight into the Fighting Illini!!
-
asian bioguyInterruptionFor I in Illini like Ked, Brad , and Matt Stevens. Find Matt ti be knowledgeable and opinionated (in a good way). However for Purdue 2024 game and earlier pods host kept interrupting Stevens. Turn off so quit midway and unfollowed. Take it for what it’s worth.
-
IlliniDMDGreat technical and practical insightsI think these guys give great hometown insights on Illini football and basketball. Fan pov. Recruiting POV. INSIDER POV. Great coverage. Sometimes critical and sometimes fan boy. I never miss an episode.

Nate 1372183Solid Illini Content - Could Tighten Up ProductionI listen to every episode and enjoy this groups opinion and analysis. Matt is great on football side and like Sturdy on basketball side. Audio quality is often spotty - sounds like a lot is recorded on bad headphones while driving. Sometimes the format is repetitive in the same episode particularly in the post game pods. One analyst will be on covering thoughts on the game with the host and then a completely separate discussion with a 2nd analyst. They often end up covering same points and thoughts - feels like it would be better hosted as a 3 or 4 way discussion vs 2 individual 1-on-1’s

P-ChapPodcastIf you’re an Illini fan from anyone across the world it’s a must listen. Great info and smart informative sports guys.
-
Td takeoverBest Illini podcast out thereI always check to for new episodes every week and really enjoy listing to them throughout my day! I also am a subscriber to the Illini guys and love all their exclusive content.
-
NatronIsMeanReally goodCan't go wrong listening to this very informed, on the beat group of Illini experts. Mike Cagley needs to tighten up his game as compared to other Illinois podcast hosts out there, but that's about the only challenge.
-
Bulls2311ShowAwesome show keep up the great work guys!
-
MorningDiscJockeyGreat to hear insight from #33Thanks for posting Larry Smith’s interview with Illini legend Kenny Battle. Great questions about current scenario and looking back at the magic we had in 1988-89. Loving “The Illini Guys!”

Der Grosse WienerwurstGreat InsightThe whole gang is clearly committed to all things Illini Sports. I found that the Illini Guys are informative, invested and engaged in promoting U of I sports. Opinions are welcomed in this forum and that’s refreshing.
