I hope one day to give two squirts of spit about uniforms...but for now it seems like the least of our concerns.

Wonder how many folks will post on this thread.

My wife thinks I am insane to watch Illinois football.

My wife thinks I am insane to watch Illinois football.

What's that say about her judgment? Marrying an insane person?

Go Illini

Time to send some row boats up the creek without their paddles.

HA!!

Agreed. But wouldnt it be more hurtful if we sent them down a creek ... I have never understood that phrase.

 

[JFGsCoffeeMug]

Can't complain about that start!

 

[dsg]

Ok Lovie, your turn!

Anyone else watching on BTN2go getting static in their audio?

Minnesota might not have to throw the ball the whole game - this game will come down to the Illinois defense forcing turnovers. If Minnesota turns it over a couple of times and Illinois plays a clean game, there is a chance.

If not.... I don't know if the defense will force a punt.

Our defensive line just doesn’t have a clue on their assignments. Avery looks lost and we don’t ever get any push. Makes it tough to stop anything. Youth on the def line is the biggest problem with our defense

Yep and had our shot on that jump ball and couldn't make the play. Those are plays we have to have to win

Our D is barely a speed bump for opposing offenses.

"up a creek" = going against the current

"down a creek" = going with the current

It takes more energy to go against the current then it does going with the current.

Ive been wanting to see Brown more!!!!!!!!!!

 

[skyIdub]

It's like our offense is playing against our defense!!

 

[JFGsCoffeeMug]

First to 50 wins?

 

[MadSeason]

Kendrick Green will be in NFL. Not only did he get to second level on block but he was running stride for stride with defender

 

[Jester87]

Battle of the bads!

 

[Deleted member 746167]

Maybe our game plan is to tire out their offense?!

Now time to watch the defense let Minnesota walk down the field for 6 yards a carry.
