Someone said he tried to warm up but couldn’t go on Friday. Then was in a boot the rest of the night. I think with a week of treatment he’s likely to play this week unless they determine his injury is more severe than they thought. Probably won’t know anything until late in the week or even game time.
If they apologize, it won't be public. It'll be a phone call to JW and a request he not share that
Offensive line better see video of that series every day this week. And be embarrassed. And take it personally. Was hoping for a lot more from that group this year. Might be a couple years away yet.
Would have been 24 if the refs didn’t steal a TD catch from us…
I really highly doubt they will say anything about it . ever . in their mind, ignoring it will make it go away
I agree with you that they probably won't say anything this time, but it makes me at least a little happy that they've said something before: https://www.espn.com/ncf/news/2000/0926/779724.html
I was in the 1st row of the old North end zone bleachers for those 2 blown calls in 2000. I saw them straight on at field level, and i knew both were blown the moment they happened. I've always been curious how i saw them blatantly, but the 7 zebras out there all missed them. That game haunts me to this day. I remember walking out of the stadium on the East side, and i could hear some sort of radio loudspeaker saying there will be a lot of disappointed Illini fans when they go and watch the replays. I didn't need any replays. An article like this with an apology from the Bg 10 would be provide sort of closure. The quiet state of the Big 10, and Kevin Warren, disgust me a bit. Transparency goes a long way, but Kevin Warren lacks anything of the sort. A call to the AD isn't good enough. The fan base deserves more.
an "official apology" from the new Big Ten commissioner Kevin Warren?
On those plays and a couple earlier, we really missed McCray!
I totally agree. I attended the Maryland game last year and the last 5 minutes were a great example of a team desperately trying "not to lose". Between the 4th down meaningless punt and BP literally freezing under pressure, it was hard to watch. Meanwhile, Maryland played with poise and confidence knowing they could win. On the UTSA game, I thought UTSA was just the better team. We had our chances but the Road Runners just out executed us the entire game. Hell, I believe they went on to win 11 or 12 games last season. Hopefully, Lunney can teach up our young men to be winners.
I understand your niche on this forum is "If someone makes Point A, I'll go out of my way to make Point B instead", but there's no way you can actually believe either of these two comments, right?
Ahhhh Illinois football. Do fans of other teams argue about which losses were worse implosions?
I bet LSU fans do now
That sucks.
I was checking on another game this fall, and the Illini Ticket rep told me the game time is not required to be set until 10 days before the game.
It’s very annoying for those of us who have families and need to make plans… but oh well
Many times it is not. If you have 3 married kids and 5 grandchildren with 3 dogs, you need time.
