I'll take the points.
-
Illinois gets a road matchup on a short week and our opponent actually.has film of us against Wyoming available to scout us.
Luckily, it is Indiana so we still might actually win. Although, they are prob better than Wyoming.
-
They’ll be scouting the a very vanilla playbook on both sides of the ball, we didn’t show much at all last week. And still won 38-6.
-
And we have tape of things that we can work on correcting.
The Hoosiers have a new OC, DC and new faces everywhere.
"As for player personnel, Hoosier fans who haven't followed the program's roster movement closely this offseason will be in for a bit of a shock. There will be new faces at nearly every position on both sides of the ball, including quarterback (more on that below), running back, wide receiver, tight end, defensive line, linebacker, and much more."
We had successful business trips to PSU and the gofs last year. Time for another one.

Which fish wrap was this from? :D

It's from 247.
Do you want the link ?
I got lazy. It's hot out.

Wondering if the Purdue Athletic Dept went cheap and had problems with scanners and concessions.

Is Adidas using companies employing people that can't spell to design unis? MERCY!
-
Let’s get this party started!
-
Neat I'm at a hotel in Boise and I can watch the game
-
Definitely not a perfect start
-
I'm taking Indy 27-14 again simply not to jinx the orange team.
-
Bielema really is a fat fuck. You’d think a football coach with access to weight training, nutrition, etc would be in better shape
-
Wonder if all the people there had problems getting into the stadium and getting concessions
-
Might wanna hit the wide open receiver deep. Who is this trubisky at QB
-
All the receivers playing for NU and MSU might be helpful
-
Despite my previous post offense looking good
-
Not too bad of a start.
Shanked punt and one big pass play is all we’ve really messed up on so far.

Revoke the 29 year old punter's scholarship !
-

Of all the things to RIP him on, that's just dumb
-
Way to go, Luke Ford
-
Luke Ford sucks
-
If Bazelak wants to miss receivers, we need to get a pick.
-
Got out of that turnover.
-
No time for Love, Dr. Jones
-
Time for a new punter
-
Yup. Kick his ass off the team!
-
Of all the things to RIP him on, that's just dumb
I’m trying to save his life. Guy is walking heart attack
-
Devito looks far better this game than the first game. He’s decisive with where the ball needs to go, is fairly accurate other than the ball to Ford, and has scrambled a couple times for yards.
-
Nice catch
-
That better be called a TD if they called Ford’s a fumble.
-
That’s terrible!!!!
-
That's bullshit
-
The ball came out at the end. So what? It was a TD long before then. Hell it was a TD even after the ball came out and he still got a foot in.
Awful, awful call.
-
2 bad punts, a screw job on the Hightower td, and a missed td pass.
10-10 tho.
No more mistakes.
-
Witherspoon may want to stop talking and start covering guys
-
At least they get Williams the ball
-
Except when he drops it
-
Danny Devito at least looks competent
-
We need somebody who can catch the ball!
-
Very evenly matched couple teams. I think Illinois is missing a deep threat at WR. Hard to drive the field when you are stuck doing swing passes, short passes, or runs
-
Too bad McCray hurt for this game
-
Hightower looks like a much better receiver with a qb to get him the ball.
-
So many drops…
-
So many drops…
Would be nice to have Navarro and Barker
-
They have stopped getting the ball to Williams
-
That’s a lateral. Gotta throw the ball forward on that.
-
They have stopped getting the ball to Williams
Ask and you shall receive
-
Finally
-
Ask and you shall receive
Yep
-
Get the ball to Williams
-
2 bad series by Lunney.
-
Kick the fucking FG so a FG doesn’t beat you,
20-16 is way better than 17-16.
That was stupid
-
Why didn’t they just sneak it? Do they take snaps from under center?
-

Couldn’t sneak from 2 yards out
-

Fair point, but I don’t mind the call. But stop running short yardage out of shotgun.
-
Couldn’t sneak from 2 yards out
Looked like a yard and a half to me. And apparently they can’t block it up the middle out of shotgun.
-
Didn't like going for it but if you are have a better play call than that.

Yep. Interior of that line isn't that good
-

Agreed. It was way to predictable.
-
Indiana punting already. Didn’t mind the going for it call, just didn’t like the playcalling minus the PI play. It’s exactly what I was thinking when they ran it.
-
I’m actually watching Illini Football. Feels weird.

Hey Tempo! Glad to see you enjoying illini football
-
2 bad series by Lunney and should have kicked the fg.
-
Who’s Lunney? OC?
-
Hey Tempo! Glad to see you enjoying illini football
Enjoying might be laying it on a little thick. It’s got my interest. For the moment.
-
Going conservative on offense up by 1 with 8 minutes left doesn't seem like a sound strategy to me.
-
It’s weird having a competent quarterback.
-
Can we block? It’s usually the one thing we’ve been decent at.
-
Who’s Lunney? OC?
Yep. From the UTSA team that beat us.
-
Good punt Devito
-
It’s weird having a competent quarterback.
Check that
-
Need the defense to step up.
-
Works as a punt anyway.
-
Those 3 points would have been nice now.
-
Who called for the turnover? LEz go
-
Big TO throw it deep.
-
Wow, our OLine stinks.
-
Danny Devito got some zip on the ball
-
So TLR takes a leave of absence and the Sox cut the Guardians’ lead in half in 3 games.
-
Both offenses have gone to crap in this quarter
-
Can we block? It’s usually the one thing we’ve been decent at.
You missed the game last week apparently
-
You missed the game last week apparently
That one barely counts. And yes, I missed it.
-
Wow, our OLine stinks.
Yep
-
Man, Bielema looks every bit the role of fat drunk football coach. Still an upgrade over the last few, though.
-
Little long of a field goal.. with offenses being so bad. I might punt here
--- forget that I thought we wer on the 40
-
Ho boy
-
Good decision. My only thought process there for me is “is my kicker good?” If the answer is yes, kick it.
-
If we had kicked hte field goal earlier we'd be up by a touchdown.. just sayiing
-

Still disliked the play-calling more than the decision.
-
Our shitry AD should be calling Rosemont tomorrow demanding a Replay Command Center in Rosemont tomorrow but he sucks cock
-
Need to blow somebody up here.
-
Wow, are they going to choke this?
-
Not getting pressure even with blitzes
-
Illinois def had too many guys on the field
-
Best refs in the country lol
-
Good acting to try and sell the INT
-
Indiana getting chunks too easily.
-
Well better tighten up now
-
Need a turnover
-
Indiana looked impotent the entire 2nd half. And then this.
-
Indiana has 4 shots from the 4 yard line to win the game
-
All of the dropped passes and not kicking the fg put us in this situation.
-
Finally some pressure.
-
sack would be nice
-
Well shit
-
This is Zookesque.
-
What a gut wrenching loss. Controlled the entire 2nd half till that
-
Horrific finish.
-
Blerg
-
75 yards in what, barely a minute and a half? With no timeouts?
-
A winnable game. Good luck getting 5 more wins.
-
Nice pass. There’s hope.
-
Know what would be nice? If out shit AD Guenther Jr called Rosemont tomorrow demanding a Reply Control Center is Rosemont. But onky a few of us know he sucks fucking cock and there are the many who think he is awesome!
-
Not over yet
-
Horrific finish.
Disgusting. only gave up 70 yards in the 2nd half until that 75 yard drive. Absolutely picked the defense apart.
And the bullshit call that took away the TD. Whomever is running the replay/decision should be out of that position. Absolute joke.
-
That’s…probably gonna do it.
-
Not over yet
Yes it is
-
Sack on a 3 man rush.. smh
-
Hail Mary full of grace
-
Wow, so we got screwed out of a TD earlier? They said he didn’t catch it?
-
Congrats to the Hoosiers on a gutty win to open their season after going 2-10.
Illinois played good enough to win. But defense too soft on last drive, and WRs dropped too many passes
-
What a deflating loss
-
Defense was horrible on that last drive. Played not to lose and got roasted all too easily.
-
Oh well
-
Lol Indiana celebrating like they are going to the Rose Bowl.
-
Illini Football…
-
When's basketball season?
-
Wow, so we got screwed out of a TD earlier? They said he didn’t catch it?
Nobody ruled a catch. The guy who looked to be out of position had a late incomplete call. Review went with incomplete.
Horrible call.
-
We did everything we could to lose that game. Disgusting.
-
I left a message at the AD office calling Guenther Jr a piece of shit
-
Just when I was about to allow myself to get sucked back in.
-

Your time is probably better spent doing anything else, lol
-
Anyone with firing synapsis know Whitman sucks, but there are people here still sucking his cock
-
Just when I was about to allow myself to get sucked back in.
Well think positive, you just got 3 hours back on your Saturdays
-
Wow, so we got screwed out of a TD earlier? They said he didn’t catch it?
Yep, got screwed. Said he never caught the ball. Absolute joke and the TV announcers said the call was wrong. The league loves shitting on Illinois whatever sport it is.
-
But Whitman is so awesome. He hired a basketball coach whi can get into the 2d round yet the dumbass fanbase loves him!
-
Same ol’ Lolillinois loser football program
-
We suck. I got 99 ways to win that game but a loss ain't one.
-

I GOT SUCKED IN..1st half. Worked on bike while listening to 1st half (live radiostream)
[ Don't have BTN (tied to Foxsports), or FS1 ]
Halftime went testing, came back thinking 2nd half was over.
But no, IL was hanging on to a 17-16 lead!!
Field goal made it 20-16 (after botched 4th down on 1 yd line) -- I figured IL would pull it out
But NO -- the CURSE is real
HOLY SH*T WTF, gave it away on IN last drive
Nice summary video:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Qu5wIaYVpU
-
Yep, shoulda kicked that field goal.
-
Kick the fg to go up 4 and play calling after that could have been entirely different, but the play calling leading to 4th and goal wasn't good either.
1st and 10 at the 18 and come up empty.
(https://i.ibb.co/wrfWC18/Screenshot-20220903-103909.jpg) (https://ibb.co/HpjzYQR)
Then 1st and 10 at the 35, close to fg range. No points here either because we wanted 7. A couple of running plays and maybe a fg or hope to break a run. Take some time off the clock and the Hoosiers maybe run out of time.

A few dropped passes on catchable balls and coaching decisions caused this one to slip out of our hands.
"2 bad series by Lunney and should have kicked the fg."
"All of the dropped passes and not kicking the fg put us in this situation."
-
Still pissed. Hope they love my (tipsy) ranting voicemail messages from last night left with the Chancellor's and AD's offices.
-
"All of the dropped passes and not kicking the fg put us in this situation."
That and another ridiculous screw job by the refs. Those 4 points and it is whole different game.

We could have easily overcome the screw job, except for shooting ourselves in several feet.
You were right about missing McCray too. We win with him.
We played good enough to get a road win, and bad enough to lose.

You have been watching Illini football a long time. We cannot be allowed the chance to shoot ourselves in the foot because that's the only thing we consistently do well. We need to be saved from ourselves when we can.

Williams, Hightower and Bryant have shown better hands. Dunno about Marchese, but he dropped 1 for a 1st down.
Nonetheless, that's why the coaches can't be making mistakes.
-
Holy fuck it’s 1:00 the next day and still can’t believe that shit
-
Illinois deserved to lose that game.
-
Illinois deserved to lose that game.
Undisputed. Doesn't mean they should have. Competent teams/programs win games they should lose all the time.
-
Crazy how quickly one's projected win total can go from like 6 or 7 to 3.
-
I just felt like with what we lost versus what we added that the ceiling on this team was fairly low. But it would be disciplined and wouldn’t beat itself. Boy was I wrong on the second part.
Besides all the penalties and TOs I got really sick of seeing Witherspoon and others constantly mixing things up and flexing after every play. I watched a fuckton of football the last three days and didn’t see any other team/individual acting like that.
I’m all for our guys being fired up and motivated, but let’s be honest, you’re in a cripple fight that practically no one is watching. Act like you’ve been there before, because you literally have been every game day since you set foot on campus.
