Helmet sticker alignment has not improved during the extended offseason.

Are there three different helmet styles? I'm sure that makes it more difficult regarding the sticker.

18, 12, and 6 look a lot better than the other two.

Yeah there are different designs so it makes consistent application difficult when you have to avoid holes on the different designs. It looks like at least now the angle on the Block I has improved since it will be straight when the player puts it on.

I respectfully disagree. To my eye, the only one that’s right is 7. When he wears that helmet the I will be vertical. Others will be tipped forward. That’s how I see it anyway.

Isaiah Gay is a tough loss, really think this could be a huge year for him.

A couple of significant losses there. I had expected Sidney to be healthy. I wonder if it’s lingering from last year or something different. At least we have good depth there. Gay will be missed.

I hope we don’t see it on the field, but is Robinson or Williams the backup to Peters?

Robinson is the backup, allegedly.

Gay - will really hurt us
Witherspoon - hurts our CB depth; good for Mertz
Sidney - was anxious to see him play an entire game; but we have depth, so should not hurt us

Am I silly that I legitimately think we are going to win this game outright?

 

[LoveLovie]

I expect a win!

 

[altenberger22]

Overall, I guess we win the "injury list" battle -- based solely upon Coan being out.

 

[CubsIlliniFan]

Ugh!!!

 

[MaineIllini]

Welp

 

[JFGsCoffeeMug]

See you all next year!

 

[GraingerDanger]

Oh man are we Illinois or what?

 

[Illinimobile]

Block "I"s Matter

 

[JJE]

Is it basketball season yet?

 

[Retro62]

Not ideal...first game, second possession, and we are already at the “let’s see how we respond” moment.

[WeWillWhen]

Good thing we're back to being a basketball school.

 

[Retro62]

That was just all kinds of bad

 

[Travis1173]

This is not going well

Yes
