When: OCT 1 (SAT) Time: 11 AM CT
TV: BTN
Where: MADISON, WIS.
Line apparently started at Illini +9.5. The VISN aggregator now has it at +9 or +8.5. People betting on the Illini! Better wear their cups!
Over/under at 44 or 45.
-
Wisconsin? Unless they’re severely down this year we’ll call it a loss.

You missed their performance at Ohio State last night? Bear will draft that OSU QB next as he can hit guys who are 10 yards wide open consistently.
-
One of the books reported on VSIN has the Illini +6.5! Lot of sharps better be wearing their cups on Saturday
-
Wisconsin is down but Illinois on the road there? Yeah, take WI. I'm saying:
Wisconsin 31
Illinois 20
Hope I'm wrong because getting a W there neutralizes the Indiana crapping.
-
McCray still out. That is a blow to the squad for this game.
-
Per The VSIN, the lines have settled in at Illini +7.

Fish wrap kiss of death!

Illini 21 Wisconsin 16
-
I had a dream we beat Wisconsin. I don’t trust my dreams, however.
-
Illini look like the same shitty football team we are used to, so far
-
Letting a garbage QB like Mertz chew you up tells you nothing has really changed....
-
INT would be nice
-
Apparently Bielema is the only one who doesn't know his OL stinks.
-
Scummed out there
-
Punched it in. Thank you for the PI penalty call 😂 now let’s fucking go!
-
How can you not kick the ball in the end zone? WTF is this?
-
Wisconsin OL all banged up, back ups playing, and still zero pressure
-
Wisconsin TEs out and still replacement is wide open
-
Let me know when the refs are going to call the blatant holding on WI

Yeah how in the fuck did they miss that one?!

Have to cover guys, but still....
-
I remember when the Illini had good kickers and punters.
-
Might as well go for it with this fucking punter.
-
Well, this defense still looks like shit. Way to go making this shit QB look competent
-
Nice INT, Taz! Defense stepping up!
-
Bielema trying his best to make Mertz look competent but Mertz just can't help himself.
-
Boy is WI undisciplined
-
Up 14-10 currently, can’t really complain about that. Haven’t won there since like 2002
-
Why even punt?
-
Just let them run the clock out. Nothing good can happen here
-
See????
-
We are up 14-10 at half in Madison and 85% of the game thread is shitposting. Classic HQ.
-
Terrible 3d down call, Custard!

I have money on the Illini, dammit!

Tommy Devito = Goal line vulture

Some nice play calling on that drive. This team is well-coached.

You know who is not well coached? Wisconsin

What is this play calling? Do the shit that got you up 21 10 assholes
-
Dumb jackasses play calling
-
Needed to put the dagger in them right there like a big boy football program would have
-
I’m enjoying this game so far. So much for some others on here. Up 2 TD’s at Camp Randall is pretty nice. Not many opportunities to cheer for things like this over the last 20 years, enjoy it. Damn!
-

Rather embarrassing for them. Our defense is solid but they've gifted us at least points being stupid.
-
Need a heavy dose of Chase Brown down the stretch here. Keep him leading the nation in rushing and close out the game. We definitely could use that National publicity to build on along with this win taking us to 4-1. Bret’s done a great job so far. Paying Ryan Walters was big boy football.
-
Pat Bryant becoming a really good WR. Needed someone to step up in that role. Hopefully he’s ok.
-
Judge Judy's guy comes through
-
That’s Chase Brown ladies and gentlemen! One run and got the 100 yards.
Oh, how in the fuck can anybody that’s an Illini fan be bitching about this game?!
-

Well, you got what you wanted. Cannot believe we may be getting the 2nd and 3rd string backs protecting a lead in the 4th at Wisconsin.
This whole being competitive at football again is fun. Realllllly wish we closed out that Indiana game given how good the D looks.

Sports trauma?

Between last week and this week, Wisconsin's DC will be lucky if he has a job.
-
Give the OL some credit. They have done a decent job since the 1st qtr.
-
Sports trauma?
Understandable. I’m still wearing my cup 😂

Mine's a tad tight

Just to be clear, this is the same Graham Mertz that looked like the second coming of Tom Brady against Lovie's D, correct?

And was 4 for 4 to start the game.

Illini 4th in the NATION in scoring defense. Ryan Walters is about 99% certain to get a HC opportunity this off season.

The wisco political ads are better than their football team

What I got from them is that Mandela Barnes" woke agenda has destroyed Wisconsin football and Ron Johnson loves China more than he does Wisconsin.
-
Why is Danny Devito still in?
-
Mertz is going to be very sore tomorrow
-
There might be a seat warming up in Madison
-
Ope there’s Witherspoon with his Hingle McCringleberry bullshit
-
Then getting torched by white guys with German names
-
Stopped them! Great win. Get to kneel down. 2 rushing yards for Wisconsin all game. Damn impressive! Happy for Bret and the Illini!
-
Feels like 2007. The team is legitimately good, probably feasting on an easy schedule- but could conceivably go 10-2, and has a way better coach at the helm this time.
Next 2 weeks are huge. Iowa/Minnesota at home. If you win those games, the program ascends to a level not seen since Mackovic. I think most saw 2007 as a fluke with ultra talent/poor coach in Zook. 2001 with Turner could be comparable, especially bc recruiting is still pretty bad like with Turner, but still feels 2001 was flukish with an NFL QB (Kittner drafted) and 4 NFL WRs. This current team feels like great coaching players that can be replaced each year.
-
That Mandela Barnes hit ad is basically Tucker Carlson audience triggers packed in 30 seconds. It's kind of impressive.

This defense is so much better than a Ron Turner era defense.

Anti-AOTC

Barry better get his ass down to the sidelines.

They sure did that 1st drive. Mertz then did Mertz things after that.

Agreed. And I think it’s easier to replicate defense each year, than hope to find NFL caliber offensive guys.
Witherspoon, Newton, Randolph, Brown are all NFL players though. Still, Walters is getting far more out of the whole defense, than anyone could expect. This is by far the best coaching staff Illinois has ever had.

Should be 5-0.

I should have a 9 inch cock. But I don’t.

Because it is 12 inches or 5?

Noice reading all of this post game. Lol.
Stop the run. Make Mertz beat us.
Listened to Sirius out on the lake. Could only get the Wisco announcers til I wised up and found an Illini feed. They're awful.
Great win. Coaching staff doing coaching and 3 star players listening to the coaches.
-
Gave up 2 yards rushing to a team averaging 211.
Scored 34 with not a good 3rd down conversion rate.
Impressive.

Who is awful? WI announcers or Brian Barnhardt or both?
-
Wisco announcers. They were talking about Illini not being able to run, when Brown had 30+ and the team averaging 211 had 12. Lol.
-
That was great I fucking hate the cheeseheads

You had to love the Republican ads though.

I would have thought everyone here was at least 9 inches.

I recorded the game and watched zero ads... fuck ads and especially ads during an election year
I'm getting these god damn unsolicited texts, wtf happened to the do not call list? Oh right it doesn't apply to these fucksticks for some fucking reason
and fuck watching football live lol brutal to say the least, so many ads, politics, prescription drugs, cars or some shitty chain restaurant
-
and fuck watching football live lol
I don't think there is anyone besides you who likes watching recorded live sporting events.
-
Sorry I’m late to the party. I’m busy down in Destin watching milfs walk the beach.
I did catch 3/4 of the game. I hate everything that is Wisconsin sports. This win was awesome! The 20 year drought at camp randall is over. I proudly wore my Illini shirt to the bars.
-
Friends on the road back to Chicago area today.
They're planning a couple of stops in Wisco, with Illini gear on.
I assume one in Madison. Lol.
I L L .....
-
Was out downtown last night and saw this kid wearing a vintage Illinois button up jacket. Probably from the 80s. Just had to go up and talk to him about it… I’m sure the thing was made 20 years before he was even born but I was so happy to see him wearing it.

Illinois football program responsible for an opposing coach getting canned. What kind of bizarro world are we living in?

They apparently have standards at Wisconsin these days? Unlike Illinois.

That's a little hard to believe.

They knew the wheels were coming off. Chryst very Weberesque
-
7 seasons, 65 -23 record, 6-1in bowl games. Starts season 2-3. Fired.
Bielema was 68-24 in 7 seasons there. 2-4 in bowl games.
-

6- 1 in bowl games?

Chryst bumped his head on Wisconsin's ceiling.
-
6- 1 in bowl games?
Who cares about shitty bowl games they were playing in? They weren't going anywhere. Always got their heads handed to them in the B1G Championship game. Crap beat out of them by OSU and Illini with a 5* QB who never developed except beating Lovie....
-
Chryst may have had a chance at 7-5 or 8-4.

Won the Cotton Bowl, won the Orange Bowl, only loss was in the Rose Bowl.

Wisconsin gonna end up like Nebraska…

That analogy is terrible as I watch the games for the games.
The games live are at least 90% commercials and 10% action, if that
-
Wisconsin gonna end up like Nebraska…
I watched Nebraska play for years, and Wisconsin is no Nebraska.
Wisconsin was a traditional mediocre to bad program that had a pretty good run under Alvarez, Beliema, and Chryst.
Bob Devaney built a powerhouse program at NE in the 1960s. Tom Osborne sustained it at an elite level for 25 years. They fell from a higher place than Wisconsin imagined.

Just meant that they’re gonna meddle in mediocrity/un met expectations from now on after reaching their “peak years” and now firing Chryst.
-
Losing at home to Illinois gets you fired. Yet defensive coordinating a team that gives up 34 to Illinois at home gets you promoted.
Wisconsin is weird.
-

This is the equivalent of winning the B1G regular season or tournament in basketball. BCS bowls the only thing that matters anymore in this day and age..so sorry Rose Bowl.

The PA man’s expectations are not in line with anything we can ever achieve

I refuse to agree with that.

Lol that we got Chryst fired but wtf are the doing promoting the DC who should've been canned first who had no HC experience.
Leopold would be insane to take that job.

#Colorado might prioritize head-coaching experience in its search, but there will be a very strong group of assistant candidates, headlined by CU alum Ryan Walters, overseeing the nation’s No. 1 scoring defense at Illinois.
