Ache is enough
WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. – A quick glance at today's headlines:
"McClain goes in for X-rays"
"Illini drop fourth straight"
UI tennis players meet the best
Illinois' Oliver Freelove, Jeff Laski and Gavin Sontag will join the nation's top college tennis players Feb. 4-7 at the 22nd annual Rolex National Intercollegiate Indoor Championships in Dallas.
Purdue no cure for UI pain
WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. They''re down in the dumps, not to mention the standings. The last person Lon Kruger''s fragile Illini want to see at a time like this is Brian Cardinal.
But that''s who''ll be waiting for them today when they roll into West Lafayette: a painful reminder of their putrid past against Purdue.
Flyin'' Illini - A 10-year tribute: Illini a big part of Big Ten heyday
Good to see the Big Ten climbing polls and winning bowls again.
All the league has to do now is send four teams to the Sweet 16, two to the Final Four and one to the national championship trophy presentation, and it'll be right back where it was 10 years ago.
Tate: Purdue still the class of the Big Ten
WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. – Don't be misled by Purdue's loss of the bask ... er, slap-wrestling and bearhug event ... Sunday at Wisconsin.

One day, they're patting you on the back. The next day, they're stabbing.
Big Ten scores with banner crop of new recruits
Five bowl games played. Five wins.
More television coverage than Monica Lewinsky.
Parker puts it in gear for UI
EVANSTON – The rooting section from Elgin at Sunday's women's basketball game between Illinois and Northwestern probably outnumbered the potholes on the Dan Ryan Expressway, believe it or not.
And the maroon-clad folks who swamped the north seats at Welsh-Ryan Arena had plenty to cheer when former Elgin Maroon Melissa Parker burned the Wildcats for a game-high 19 points in the Illini's 74-55 romp.
Ex-Illini Beyers picks Illinois State
SHELBYVILLE – Fans of Rich Beyers won't have to travel far to catch the finish of his college career.
The former Illini said Sunday he'll transfer to Illinois State. Beyers liked what he saw on a weekend visit there and picked the Redbirds over Southern Illinois and Butler.
