Dan Saladino from our football podcast (The Field Pass) joins Robert to discuss everything you ever wanted to know about 2021 Illini golf. 

The Illini loss in the Round of 32 is painful - there's no way around it. Robert and Tyler hit record and lay it all out there. No holding back.

Recorded 11 minutes from the stands after the single-most devastating loss of my lifetime. 

Robert and Carmen discuss what it's like to be in Indy during the Tournament. Maybe moving the whole thing here every year is something the NCAA should consider?  Also, lots of dancing around "what if?" questions as they relate to this Illini team.
