2023 fighting illini season
« on: July 03, 2023, 01:54:54 PM »
I am SUPER pumped for this season, more than basketball.  When was last time we could say that?

I think 8 wins is in reach possibly 9

I hope the crowd show up

Appreciate what we are doing!!

There does seem to be a bit of positive momentum happening.

With what we lost, 6-6 and a bowl bid is a good season.
Hopefully, McCray is healthy and able to put in a full season.

Good point. Around the time we went to the Rose Bowl, I’d guess.

Is this an HQ meme? If not, I’m turning it into one. Love it.

We arguably will have the best offensive line in the conference.  The defense has some key returns but will take a step back from last season.

Offensively I think we will have the potential to be much better.   I don't see us being any worse than 6-6. Anything better than that will depend on how good the kid from Ole miss is.


Vegas has the over under for illinois 6.5.  +2000 to win big ten.  That's good for 7th.

Yeah, 6 wins would be a good season based on how many guys they lost.

Take the under if you think it's easy money.  ::)

I am in line with the article Mn posted. Quite a few question marks on O and in the secondary. Think they should get to 6. 7 would be fantastic. 8 would be stupendous.

An 0-3 start is not out of the realm of possibilities. Toledo appears that it is going to be an interesting opener.

A 1-2 start is a possibility. At PU might not be the win that some are counting on. PU seems to have our number.

Is Illinois allowed to have a uniform design that is not similar to Syracuse? They look very boring and that block I staying on the helmet is a big letdown.

My grade: C-

Yeah, not impressed. The script Illini/Illinois on the helmets would’ve been much better and the vertical stripes are just like a Syracuse reject. It’s crazy that that’s all Nike can come up with. Wash, rinse, repeat.
