I am stunned too.
My son, who recently moved to Michigan and is contemplating becoming a Sparty fan, and I are together. We went to dinner after the 3rd Q. Never ever did we imagine it would end like this. We now have to watch the rest of the game.

Haven’t been this proud to be an Illini fan in years. So happy for these kids. Let’s get to 8 wins!
Wow, congrats to Lovie and the staff. Congrats to the players. They earned it.

That was huge. It’s the little, unnoticed things that win games.

I am trying my best, with the assistance of some Templeton Rye and a Gurkha Centurion cigar.

He is, too nice. AD wanted him to cut out some assistants, but Dantonio did a shuffle and reassigned positions, which caused a lot of criticism. He’s also been overly loyal to Lewerke, and you saw tonight why that’s not a great idea. Kinda the nice guys finish last scenario for him this year.

I will enjoy everything left in this years season no matter what.....but I really, really want to see one more thing.
Sell out the last home game vs. Northworstern for these seniors. They deserve one packed house before they go.
Pack Memorial Stadium. Make their last walk through Grange Grove one they will never forget.

I'm getting a kick out of reading the MSU board on 247. Lots of posts calling for Dantonio's head. Funny stuff.

I'm eating lots of crow and loving it. Never really felt to me like they were out of the game today. Good on 'em.

Just got home from work and there is no way for me to get sleep now. Work will be brutal tomorrow at 5:30am. I was streaming the radio on my phone and I think i gave the cashier a heart attack at the grocery store when we score that last TD. GO ILLINI.
Deserving credit for the football revival is Barbara Wilson who had vision enough to hire Josh Whitman, more vision than most of her predecessors. Congratulations.

I have to admit I thought they were done when it was 31-10. I turned it off and did some chores. Got a text about the final score and forced my kids to watch the 4th quarter with me. They were screaming and shouting not knowing that I already knew the final score. I will never forget the sheer joy my kids had watching the end of this game. Thank you Illini for making football fun again!
