Really really happy for Dre Brown that it was his big run that got us in range. If anyone deserves a taste of success it’s him.

Who were the recruits at the game today?
He's got at least 16 more games now.
Nope, if we go 3-9 we Change coaches.
But it slows down the talk by a good amount. :thumb:
WE WANT BAMA
GREAT WIN!!!!! Shocked the world, great game Fighting Illini & coach Smith!!!!
Crazy happy for the team. Played their hearts out and got the result. Kids put a lot of time and effort into football all year long and nice to see a positive outcome for them.

seriously imagine if we didn't get that TD called back, Casey Washington isn't out of bounds by a nut hair, McCourt doesn't miss his first FG. So jacked!
Lovie can coach. He just needs to continue to recruit and get some more transfers and juco guys so young ones can develop. Recruiting is what he needs to improve on. The play calling and development of his players is not the issue. We just need more players, transfers, and time for the young guys to develop. Wins like this with the highlights showing on all networks today will certainly help.
Now that's a homecoming game !! Butkus needs to narrate another video next week!
Hey Joey Illini...me guess your Illini score prediction career ended today
Is their a limit to the number of likes I can give out?Because most people in this post game thread are getting one from me.
When Witherspoon got beat on the coverage but recovered to make the shoestring tackle, I texted my dad that it reminded me of Hawthorne's hustle play against Michigan from roughly a decade ago.
After the goalline stand, it started to feel more real. Now the comparison feels spot on--and this may replace that moment as my proudest one as an Illinois fan. What a team effort. What an AMAZING gameplan by Lovie to stop the run. Defensive line played their hearts out, linebackers flew around the field, DBs were out of position but played as hard as they could. Offense rose to the occasion.
Man I hope it works out for Lovie, and this made me confident it will. So happy for these players.

Obviously you can't given your previous comments that they would be run over 4 times by Whisky...another great couch potato coaching career bits the dust

I predicted Wisc 59 ILL 3 and i've never been so happy to be so wrong!!!! I'm excited to see where we go from here. Wow there was some serious grit and heart on the field in the 4th quarter!
Well my pop who was a Professor Emeritus and season ticket holder for 30 years is looking down dancing like the Chief today. He got his one of his Masters at Miss State and his one of his Doctoral degrees at LSU. Today i know he would be outside tailgating having some cold ones until dark and not care about the LSU vs State game today!
