I think our two shoulda been wins were UM and IU. We were just put muscled by MSU. There was one critical bad call against us in the Purdue game which could’ve changed the outcome, but it was in the first half and we had time to overcome that.
Looking ahead to 2023

was going to say weaver and hoekstra but came across some interesting coincidences.... that mean absolutely nothing.Seeing these QB names gave me nightmares last night.
Shane ‘Lame’ lol
when looking at past rosters to see if there was a qb i wanted to add, on the '95 illini football roster were:
OL: Ryan ARCHIBALD
S: KENNY BATTLE
then for good measure a Ken Blackman (relation to Bob?)
Ahh…Almost forgot about Dream Weaver.

is there a way you can force this to be opened, read and meditated upon before anyone can then comment on a football thread moving forward?One Score Games

really great stuffAnd where does he commit to?
The schedule is daunting, but I'm not scared of any opponent. I don't look at any 2023 opponent and say "Uh oh. That's a 56-6 beatdown." We won't win them all, but I have hope for each game. Of course we schedule Kansas when they were 1-11 and now improved. On paper Wisconsin and Nebraska have upgraded coaching staffs.
Barring catastrophic injuries, I think bowl-eligibility is certainly doable. Disappointing year is 5 wins. Another 8 win season is possible.

one has to wonder, what exactly was it about Iowa and the football program that made him decide so quickly ? NIL ?And where does he commit to?
in theory, he could not have been talking to them before he announced just two-three days ago , correct ?
The long-standing relationship with Ken O’Keefe

So, I'm looking at the QB roster. Sitkowski has a year left, then there are four freshman: Leary, Huber, Michaux and Sheehan. Do any of them have the possibility of being the starter somewhere down the road? Are any of them on scholarship? Are we going to have to go the portal for the forseeable future?
You think we’d have 4 walk on QBs?

Nobody seems to be talking about any of them, so I thought I'd ask the question. To answer yours, no.
I don’t think it’s that fuzzy. Normally athletes have 5 years to play 4 seasons, and the NCAA revised that to be 6 years to play 5 for athletes enrolled the COVID year.
”Division I rules limit student-athletes to four seasons of competition in a five-year period. The Council's decision allows schools to self-apply waivers to restore one of those seasons of competition for student-athletes who had competed while eligible in the COVID-19-shortened 2020 spring season
The Council also will allow schools to self-apply a one-year extension of eligibility for spring-sport student-athletes, effectively extending each student's five-year "clock" by a year.”
Division I Council extends eligibility for student-athletes impacted by COVID-19
The Division I Council on Monday voted to allow schools to provide spring-sport student-athletes an additional season of competition and an extension of their period
www.ncaa.org
Additionally, and separately, athletes can apply for a hardship waiver if there are circumstances beyond their control (eg injury), but that waiver cannot be applied for until the player exhausts their remaining eligibility.

Devin is now in the portal. Any chance he'd come here to mentor his brother?
Nice sentiment, but does it really make sense to come in and push his little bro down the depth chart?
Donovan is not our starter next year, and probably not in 2024 . anyway. maybe . slight chance yes
Devin being here to help mentor him next year can only HELP him in the long term. wont hurt at all
My brother would probably do that while grabbing all of the current glory

Well, win number 6 next year kinda becomes an era-defining target doesn't it?
Not to say our goals shouldn't be higher than that, but this is either the exact same movie we've seen a million times before or it isn't, and win 6 is the very clear, explicit, black-and-white borderline.

I'm assuming we forfeit the season since we lost Walters
