Ok. Time to purposely injure somebody. Totally disrespectful to run a trick play with a 35 point lead.
Bush league call - especially on a kneel down play where you expect the opponent to not come at you and potentially tee off on your QB. Low class call.

Give everyone 30 minutes notice to clear the area then set the demolition charges to the entire place including the new facility.

Lovie is simply thinking about what kind of boat he's gonna buy with all that U of I money he'll walk away with. Mark my words, if he coaches again at all, it will be for one of the smaller Florida schools. Then he will enjoy his retirement home and his boat on the water down there.

Someone better tear into them at half. We’re going out like a bunch of punks

maybe he can down there at half time and rip into them about how they’re disrespecting the Chief with their effort
Heck they're disrespecting Iowa with their effort.

What is most disappointing is watching teams like Rutgers, Md, Purdue, Indiana competing in games against good opponents and we can’t make it out of the first qtr w any hope

If I was a player I'd be completely fired up right now. I would be out for blood.

The players should be fired up when the game starts...get an early gift turnover.

End up losing yardage on a sack..players essentially said game over. This staff can't get it done. We struggle to even line players up on defense..much less stop anyone. Why do I go?

Man I’m so pissed right now I took off my Illinois shirt. What is Lovie doing during the week???

Same with Rod Smith... If the DC is responsible for bad defense, then the OC should be equally held responsible for bad offense...

Now I want to watch the 2nd half. Our players character will be on display. If they don't come out fired up after Ferentz's classless trick play call, then I don't know what to say.

I don't care how bad we suck. I love the ILLINI, watch every game and hate that we only have 1.5 games left. They know they are bad, they see the same scoreboard we do. No reason to beat em while they are down. Support them in whatever way possible and BELIEVE they will get better. Or you can be a bandwagon jumper and go root for bama. Not for me, GO ILLINI!!!

Lifeless bunch we have today. Have they given up entirely? Bonner is trying, but man, everyone else is done. The last time I saw a game like this was against Minnesota, Zokos last game

They don’t look like they want to play anymore...completely demoralized.

Good to see we pick up right where we left off.

I’m watching just so that I can remember for myself how bad it was when it eventually turns around. It will... right?

They are not trying...way to evident on that punt return TD. I would put every backup on the team out there right now.

I agree with you. But there is a difference between being bad and between leaving it all on the field. Today the effort part is non-existent.

Bonner still working hard. I’m sure others are as well, I think they see the handwriting on the wall...changeover.
