Game allegedly a sell out. Who is going? ThePAThey will be in Lot 45 pregame with The AggressiveSon and, possibly the former co-worker who drank hot cocoa and Fireball with Judge Judy at a tailgate last year.
This has the hallmarks of an Illini let down. Make sure you have your cups on!

Hope this one is competitive unlike last years game

Kansas returns 18 of 22 starters from their 2023 squad.

Oregon>Kansas>Penn State>Michigan
-
That’s clearly a first down!!!!!
-
Total bullshit!
-
Still might pull this out! Fuck yeah!
-
Northern Illinois pulls it off! Whoohoo!
-
Huge INT!!!
-
Huge INT!!!
Xavier Scott had an OK start to the game
-
All that just to drop a touchdown?
-
AWFUL drop.
-
That's what happens when you start turning your head before you bring the ball in.
-
Gibson City was WIDE OPEN!!!
-
Xavier Scott so good even draws fouls

The next Devon Witherspoon 🙏🏼 oh and hell yeah! 😂
-
Fuck, Franklin Fucking Fumble!

Dropped TD and a fumble. Not the mistakes you want to make if you're looking to knock off a top 25 team.

Yeah, our offense has made 2 big mistakes already
-
This is a big game for our program!
-
That’s our ball!!!!
-
Huge fucking stop
-
Bielema sucks ass
-
Luke Getsy would be a better OC
-
Wowowowowow what a catch!
-
Nice catch by Mr. Franklin
-
And yes, this play calling sucks!
-
Excellent play recognition.
-
Xavier Scott showed up to play tonight !!!!!!

Motherfuckers!!

What are you taking about? Xavier Scott is the human firework!
-
Great half. Couple mistakes but illini defense really flying around.
-
Yes, good half overall because in the lead and still much room for improvement!
-
Xavier Scott II is the first illini to ever get a pick 6 while having Roman numerals on each end of his jersey.
Ok I stole that but it’s good
-
Illinois avg 3.1 yds per carry.
-
DL and LBs no bueno
-
lol does Kansas have a player named Cabledude?
-
Time to bear down
-
Yeah that was offensive pass interference. Dude just shoved cox straight into the ground
-
Time to bear down
Not until tomorrow
-
What the hell is Altmeyer doing? This ain't CFB 25. Throw the fucking ball.
-
Hire Getsy!
-
Altmyer won't throw the ball beyond 5 yds unless someone jumps offside, providing a no risk scenario. He refuses to throw the ball down field and it's killing our offense.
-
Not until tomorrow
NFL starts Monday night

It’s one thing to do that to Eastern … 3 picks today…
-
Altmyer 3 & 14 throws a 7 yd check down to nobody 🙃
-
I am convinced Illinois also has the worst punt returner in the Big Ten
-
There is some dumb luck
-
The only OC dumber than Lunney is the Kansas OC. Can run at will and he is calling bombs

No doubt. 2nd and 3, running the ball well, 4th quarter up three, pass twice against a team with 3 picks on you

Going to have issues in B1G play if you cannot run the ball against Kansas or come close to stopping the run.

Have to wait until Oct. 6th before we can panic.
-
Kansas is a good team that returned almost everyone from a 9-4 or whatever season last year, and we held them to 17 points. Could have been better, sure, but jeez.

Some of us, like Guenther, Jr., want championships!

Really solid win last night. Sometimes the other team is better (their OC is a moron) but hands you the win, and you have to capitalize.
