This is Hansen's MO every year - looks good for the first few games of the year (against lower conference opponents) and then looks bad against B1G talent.

The announcer just used the phrase "Illinois passing attack." I'm not sure he's watching the same game I am.

Michigan’s cheap shot game is in top form.

Are we going to ignore that the last Michigan td pass had their right tackle 5 yds down the field? RPO’s kill the game of football
I have no idea how Whitman allowed Lovie to make the decisons he did regarding coaching positions but in the end it will be Lovie's undoing. Don't know how soon it will happen.
Oh boy. Right tackle what was that?
Time for I William's for the rest of the game
Grave to the womb.
ILFB going backward.

This is unwatchable see you next week

There isn’t a single unit outside of punter that we are even ok at. How after four years of coaching does that happen?
Announcers in the last two minutes of game play:
“Oof”
“That was terrible”
Sadly, they are almost being kind at this point.

Here on out ILFB D needs to be coached by the opponent's DCord
Where’s the postgame thread?

I should ask my company for a $4 million to underperform. They would probably send me for drug testing for asking that question.

Regardless of personnel, does this team in any way whatsoever look prepared? It honestly looks like we showed up to a test we just remembered the night before and we’re making the best of it.
Whitman, I support you 110%, man, but if this - or, more likely, Wisconsin - becomes a TRUE embarrassment ala Iowa last year or the infamous 2005 PSU disaster ... just end this thing! This isn’t even about our pathetic record anymore.
EDIT: Also, I’m truly astonished other teams’ fans, let alone our own, ever knock our fans for their support. When you really think about it, and you consider what we’re presented with, it’s amazing this many people keep showing up every week! Tens of thousands for this??

What is the Illinois record for total number of punts in a game?

It just gets worse every week. It’s unbelievable to me how a professional coaching staff can have a team so consistently unprepared. Zero first downs and Going to surrender 300 yards before halftime?!

Exactly. There’s not going to be any controversy. Literally 100% of fans don’t want to watch this anymore.

I think the announcer Greg McElroy feels sorry for us. He was a QB at Alabama, and has probably never seen anything like this. The announcers must be saying ugly things about Illinois when there are commercial breaks. It's like a car wreck.....I want to look away, I want to change the channel, but i care too much.
