Probably going to be cold and no one there. Formal write up to come next week!
Rack me. I'm out.
Guenther Jr and Clown Shoes Bielema and Underachiever not committed to winning.
I'm done after this week.
-
If the high temperature of the day is forecast to be above 60 degrees (48 American hours before kickoff) I will come to the game and personally buy up to 20 shitty horseshoe seats for HQ2 brethren and pass them out at ThePAThey’s carb-and-alcohol-heavy Tailgreat.
No merch, no autographs, please.
-
I like carbs.
-
This will be tough
-
Forecast high for the 28th is upper 20s.

Ewwww

Mr. Roberts may be forecasting snow if he decides to chime in....
-
I hear it's going to be west side seating for the trophy game.
NU fans wouldn't travel.

Tried to head down. Turned back at 294/55. Thought that if 294 sucked, how bad would 57 be? Didn't see a single plow on 290, 294, or 55. Thanks, Pritzker!

Hey, you tried.
Is 10" for C-U correct ?

This will be tough
"When the going gets tough, the tough get going"
I think NW has this..
-
A snow bowl in a near-empty stadium for a game that has almost no real consequence to either team. And we fail to score after running the ball well early
-
No FG’s in this game…
-
Simply amazing how wide open the Wildcats receivers are.
-
Our D is ass.
-
WTF punting at midfield?
Shitcan this moron.
-
An actual turnover!!!!
-
Let's see if that gets us going
-
Maybe actually feature Valentine?
-
Feagen able to jump over the menu!
-
Nice deflection, pick, and scoring drive.
-
Need to demote Henry after the year and go get a real D coordinator…
-
Nice FG!
-
Let's get another 3 and out.
-
A line stunt!

Its so odd the stadium looks empty on tv lol, im just catching up now
-
Not calling for the time out on the delay penalty when they were in 4 down territory is going wind up biting them in the ass
-
Wow!
-
Mercy
-
Do people actually find that Shane Gillis guy to be funny?
-
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
-
Altmeyer looking like Fields there
-
Shittin me.

Not calling for a time out on the delay penalty and they could have gone for it on 4th
-
That was an interesting series of calls. Ridiculous

A bad 2nd down call.
I've never thought Lunney was the answer. Except when he was at UTSA.
-
What are we doing here? How many times do we think they will fumble a snap?
-
What idiocy
-
Well, that worked
-

They could always throw an INT instead
-
3 turnovers for NU. We better win this,
-
They should have borrowed the Bears O-line for this game
-
Sure, why not. The 35.
-
The Kitties QB sucks ass
-
3 turnovers for NU. We better win this,
Make that 4.
-
The Kitties QB sucks ass
Yup
-
We may need another interception the way this is going
-
The prevent offense
-
They just pick on Cox
-
8 wins
-
The coveted LOL Trophy is ours!!!!
-
A nail biter to get to 8-4.
-
Hey I’ll take 8-4. Expected more this year but I’m ok with it. Keep building!
And Shane Gillis is hilarious!
-
Nothing easy for this squad. Some mediocre varsity high school shit out there tonight, would blame it on the weather but I’ve seen it in good weather too.
The Shane Gillis “Beautiful Dogs” standup on Netflix is glorious. Just about everything else I’ve seen I can hardly watch.
-
Illini hoops lose
Illini football win
Bears win
2 out of 3 ain't bad
-
Illini finish 8-4 (or better) for the third time in 4 years. Twice in the expanded B1G. Not the season we hoped for, but not anything close to the faceplant we are accustomed to seeing on the heels of a really good year. Only one other time we’ve won 18 total games in back to back seasons and that happened 35 years ago. Golden era indeed!
-
If I'm reading the projections right, it's likely either the Reliaquest f/k/a Outback Bowl in Tampa or the Las Vegas Bowl? Vegas would be fun, and probably more winnable than whatever SEC team falls to the Tampa bowl game.
Non-zero chance we wind up vs. Mizzou.
-
May also be Music City Bowl? Probably go if that’s the case. Might also do Florida with the kids but probably not Vegas. If it’s in Nashville and anyone comes down let me know.
-
We're not going to Detroit. The Outback, to follow up on last year's Citrus, would be about as good as it gets.
I too hoped for better but 8-4 was a reasonable expectation. Win the bowl game and keep on building.
How did we beat USC and shit the bed in the 2nd half in Seattle and the whole day in Madison ?
And who knows what we'll have next year but I'm ok with looking for a new DC and OC.
-
Sports psychology. Something Lou Henson used to say, but it applies in general. The team would win a couple games and start thinking they were pretty good. So they didn't think they had to listen to the coaches and they stopped doing what they needed to do to win.
-
Same team as last year, but with a tougher schedule. Easy to forget we needed a miracle to win that Rutgers game last year and lost that head scratcher at home to Minnehaha and the boat rower. Could have easily lost that Kansas game too.
Need significant personnel improvements, a DC with a clue, and more depth to take the next step, but it’s been fun being relevant in football. 2026 recruiting class looks way better than what we’d been getting since Bert got here, which is a good start. Let’s go clean up in the portal too.

Hank Beatty had a good year, other than that we didn't have a game breaker on offense. We missed Patrick Bryant. Even tho we were supposed to have more speed than ever, we need speed and athleticism.
I believe we led the nation with 5 game winning drives last year. The odds of a repeat were slim and none but the 2nd half collapse in Seattle and the game in Madison shouldn't happen with the experience we had coming back.
Spotsbook Review, whoever they are, predicts us vs Vandy in Nashville, but they also have Nebraska going to Tampa vs 6-6 Tx State.
We'll have a new qb next year and it may be a good opportunity to look to a new OC to go with a new DC.

Going to have a new OL next year and many new parts on D.
It will be a very interesting offseason.
