Commitment To The Bit- Brad Underwood Brought The Meme Of Him And The Balkan 5 At Illinois To Life, Dressed Up As 'Bradimir' For The UConn Game

In case you're wondering what the hell is going on here with this orange jumpsuit talk (not DM'ing a Providence fan about Ed Cooley), it all stems from this meme: 

If you're even more confused it's because Brad Underwood and Illinois went out and signed basically every single European they could this offseason. Look at their roster, they have two Ivisic's, they have Stojakovic, Mirkovic and Petrovic. It all led to this Balkan Brad tagline, I've seen people call him Bradislav or Bradmir. Either way, a perfect college basketball thing because we all want to Brad Underwood, this man who can lose his shit, wear an orange jumpsuit. 

Well, he broke it out: 

It's perfect. This is what college sports is supposed to be. Dumb shit that fans can run with and spend an entire season spamming the Internet with. It doesn't matter if it's Providence fans just constantly tweeting Friar or now Brad Underwood using an AI meme of him in the Balkans with an orange jumpsuit. I also am ready to officially add Illinois +1800 to my portfolio after seeing this. Brad Underwood wouldn't be doing this if he didn't think Illinois had a chance to win a national title. He's being funny or embracing this for a 6-seed. He wouldn't be doing this days after calling him team doo doo. 

Incredible. Flight to MSG, Brad wearing orange, perfect content for a day everyone is just on cruise control. Illinois/UConn on Friday is going to be unreal too.
