[Deleted member 649710]

Welp, I’m done until basketball season. Play Williams once he gets healthy and make the coaching change.

Fleck is so stupid. Why risk an injury to your #1 RB when you're up by 20.

Illinois football is dead

Looks like the Minnesota Viking playing Champaign High School. There has been absolutely no improvement over the last three years. SMH

Nice, you posted this pic as I was suggesting this move in the coaching carousel

Four years in and there isn’t one thing we do well outside of our punter. I’m typically not one to think you should get rid of a coach mid season but it may just be time to move on and get a jump on the coaching market for next year. It’s obvious at this point the head coaching effort is minimal at best

 

[bombayIllini]

I think it is best we forfeit the rest of our game. They are not playing well at all. And, on the flip side collecting a lot of plenties.

I'd be okay with this move too

This is all I need to see, I believed, I backed this but I’m ready #FireLovie

And let’s not wait, after this game I want him gone, make Rod the interim and let’s get a head start on the search

Good coverage except that he held. Give me a break Millen.

 

[RDS]

Minn approaching 500 yards of O. Lovie, unable to reasonably defend his teams anymore, will instead undoubtedly give us a bucket full of how good MN is in the postgame (Expect “they’re unbeaten for a reason” blah blah). Out of ideas, out of pride, and out of hope.

 

[Illinois_2_AZ]

Goodnight everybody. Time to head to the State Fair.

 

[Illinir1]

Pass interference against the Golden Rats but the refs flag gets stuck in his back pocket.

I'm not quite ready for the mid-season fire (close but not yet). If we were to pull the trigger...serious question- who would coach the D?

 

[Oranges]

Yeah, it’s time to let Lovie go. I tried to back him but this was a make or break season for him. Who could we actually get to replace him though?

 

[bombayIllini]

The good news, so far, is that Minny has not reached 500 yds yet.

 

[RDUIllini]

Get it over with. The experiment is done.

 

[Oranges]

Good, but depressing, point

Doesn’t look like anyone currently is to be honest

 

[O’Malley’s Wall]

Same as currently happening. Apparently no one. What’s the difference?
