We did not want him anyways.
Or do we only do that for basketball?
-
He was our best fucking recruit and this fucking sucks. What are you doing Bret?! How the fuck do you let this happen?! You start him if he wants. Quit fucking around!

The number of guys leaving after the spring game makes me wonder how strong our NIL game is for football....

Somebody do some tampering ?
Freshmen OL don't start. They hit the weights, work on nutrition and try to get some playing time in.

If they are your top incoming prospect, they probably start.

At any other position, except qb, yes. Probably sooner or later.

It appears AJ Dennis said that he was homesick and that was the factor in entering the transfer portal.
-
Dennis was not going to play right away.
-
Where is he from?

Where is he from?
Michigan. He was originally committed to Michigan State.

The gofs also had a guy enter the portal yesterday after a January commitment.
But he was only a Div II player who got recruited over.
At least that's the story line, instead of 'I'm homesick.'
-
And there you have it. Back to Michigan State he goes…

How about hit the guy and knock him on his ass on the play instead of fucking whining about fucking rules being broken. Fucking Illini whine more than Democrats about rules and shit. Man up and stop acting like pussies.

Nichi: When he isn't defending Biden he is defending Illini football.

The rule was changed to remove any ambiguity. How hard is that to follow?
How many Illinois rules are there?

Boo fucking hoo. They had, what, a 21-7 lead in the 4th quarter that they blew? Don't whine because an Illini coach got outcoached, again.

Wisconsin cheated after the officials stole our
time out. Neither of those is the point.
The new rule removes any wiggle room. It's pretty clear this is a reaction to the crap Wisconsin pulled.

Let me know when the NCAA bans Illini opponents from scoring 18 4th quarter points in football and going on 30-0 runs in basketball.

Maybe when they ban whiney fairweather fans that think they know more than the coaches.

Sitting in Memorial Stadium watching 4th quarter leads get blown and watching 30-0 runs in tournament games is awesome!

Don't you miss Lasagna and Weber ball?
The refs still screwed us out of a TO and Wisconsin cheated. Voila, the NCAA tightens up the rule.

Just a different type of ineptitude.
Yay! They changed the rule after the Illini fucked up! Hooray for us.

6 wins would be nice. See Custard, I'm lowering my expectations for Illini football
-
I think 6 wins is realistic and depending on matchup in bowl game we could end up 7-6. I thing more like 5-7 is probable…
-
Well EA thinks we are the worst team in the Big Ten. LMAO
That being said our offense is being highly underestimated. Even with Paddock leaving. Luke got some good reps last year as a sophomore. Got to step back and see how it was supposed to be done right. It could really boost his potential having seen what Paddock was able to see and do where Luke couldn't.
Our defense is a giant concern. Our Defensive line is weak. Linebackers and secondary are okay. This team might be hard pressed to stop the run. Last year we couldn't stop anything. That being said we'll probably have a bottom 5 defense in the conference, but we could very well have a top 5 offense. Having Franklin and Bryant on the outside and Feagin to the hand the ball off too is going to be a very nice luxury. Just need Feagin to stay healthy. Our offensive line is no joke and never will be again as long as Bret stays here.
6-6 sounds about right. Probably 3-3 going into Michigan contest.
-
I think we win 4
-
Sounds like everyone is confident we are Rouse Boil bound!
-
I'm thinking one of Bret's decent Badger teams.
7 wins.
-
Schedule is brutal and we lost a ton. Didn’t set the world on fire in any way in the offseason. I kinda feel like the final nail in the Illini football coffin came when we added the four PAC schools.

Tommy Cutlets rides again! The legend grows as he replaces an injured Drew Lock and takes the NYG to a pre-season win with the only two scoring drives in the game. Gotta love it!

Knowing the Illini we will lose a star player to an eye getting put out, at least the SEAL training made some kind of baseline sense.

Speaking of, I'm going to the game in Eugene. That ought to be a nice beatdown. At least there is good beer up there.

Hopefully we hold them under 35 by half

Tell us about your take on women and minorities…
Custard bangs women and you take issue. Somehow he’s a misogynistic pig! Uh oh, I want the border closed and to have voter ID. Somehow I’m racist! Come on, quit being a dick.
Others can play your game too…

Wut. At no point did that rambling incoherent thought make sense.

What does being a perv on the internet have to do with Israel?
-
What do you mean by “closed?”
-
I’ve never taken issue with Custard’s sex life. You have me confused with someone else.
-
What do you mean by “closed?”
The idiots think it is currently open.

that's the sign that's actually on the women who Custard goes out with, despite his protestations otherwise

If still in Mattoon, any cows on the loose in your area today?
