[SampsonRelpenk]

I'm giving the game ball to Brett on how he totally punked Minny on DeVito.

Along with all the rest of us!

I'm not sure the single most valuable person in this program isn't Tank Wright by the way, feels like that should be mentioned.

Dear Mr. Whitman,

Can we please postpone basketball season until football is finished? I'm already having too much fun!

Best regards,

If you would have told me Illinois would be 6-1 in year four of the Bielema regime, I would have been giddy. Year two? Ecstatic.

 

[RML]

Thank you PJ for not using Ibrahim more. I was confused by some of their play calls, especially in the first half. PJ is like a regional manager at a Fortune 500 company that never thinks they are wrong, no matter how lopsided the numbers may be.

Ibrahim is really good. I said "thank you!" when they punted on 4th and two. Not sure that we could have stopped them if they pounded Ibrahim there (or all day long, for that matter.)

Numbers like that and you would have thought like a 40-7 win.

 

[altgeld88]

I’m still trying to wrap my head around what this team has achieved so far compared with 6-6 /5-7 expectations on the optimistic end. Incredible.

Also trying to comprehend how, if not for a blown replay call at Indiana, they’d be 7-0, a feat Illini football hasn’t achieved in my lifetime of 57 seasons.

As Giorgi B would note: “Amazing.”

Other than Michigan (and that only because it's at Ann Arbor) does anyone else see any losses left on the schedule? I certainly do not.

Purdue concerns me. Winnable of course but their passing game is pretty good.

 

[SKane]

I did not think that this team would be this good.

Congratulations to team and coaches!

I love the way this pushes back on the notion that a coaching staff needs "their guys" in order to be competitive, which is something I think has been a really toxic idea all over the country.

But our players deserve just as much credit for that as our coaches.

The moment that defines where we are, IMO, was after we got shut out by Wisky last year on Homecoming, Illinois Football, here we go again, and Bielema made those comments about not having any OL recruits in recent classes that were contributing and it really caused a bit of an earthquake in IlliniLand. 2-10, it's all Lovie's fault, rebuilding, trust the process, no one could possibly succeed with the empty cupboard BB was left, can't judge results until year 4, the whole message board culture war all flashed into view.

And then we went to Happy Valley the next week and outlasted the longest game in the history of college football. In that building during that week, the people in our program made the decision that things could be different. They chose the hard way. And now here we are.

 

[Illiniaaron]

Purdue concerns me. Winnable of course but their passing game is pretty good.

The only one that doesn’t scare me is at NW. I still have too much Illinois trauma in my past. But I predicted they would go 3-9 this year so what do I know?

 

[TheChief4Life]

Now that I’m back with real internet, here are the views of the stadium from my seat:

Haven’t heard anything about attendance figures, but it felt more packed than last week. And a lot louder!

 

[skyIdub]

Nah....it's full buy in now. We just dominated the "best" (statistically) defense other than ours. Dominated.

Our defense just contained the 2nd best RB in the country and sh#t whipped their passing game

We can beat anybody on any given night.

 

[DJM]

I'm flipping thru channels to find games that are at the half so I can here talking heads, talk about us!!

 

[MULEDOG35]

Me too.

 

[Orangetool]

Just a dominant performance today.

Get healthy. Clean up red zone offense.

Yes, yes.

Gritty, I came down hard on ya last week. I hope alopogies accepted. Hope we can turn the corner and leave those miserable times in the past at least for the next 2-3 years. Ill sob with ya if either of our currentcoaches get poached because wewouldnt fork up the dough. I think we have an A. D. Who knows it takes the all mighty dollar to get and retain success. Heres to hoping wecan hold on to the gold mine Whitman dug up.

 

[KrushCow31]

If we did win out till the Michigan game, I wonder what we would be ranked.
