Illini Football 2023

[BRucks]

Only ad featuring a current player I have seen is Coleman Hawkins doling out cash like an ATM in a bank ad... and then there's J Leman and the appliance store ads

Luke Goode hawking TVs for local store.

BTW Is that "We're going downer!" furniture store still around?

It is not. Closed several years ago. Man those commercials were great.

[WeWillWhen]

Should be, don't think BB could talk about him otherwise

But has BB talked about Altmyer publicly? I don't recall seeing anything. Can anyone confirm if Altmyer enrolled? Same question for Paddock -- is he on campus? Thanks.

Was it "This Is It" Furniture? Annoying name. Even more annoying commercials.

Untrue. I bought a cheap crap recliner there once. Onion bin was empty

And the wood to build the furniture was about like the sticks they were breaking in the commercial i bet. I remember those commercials in the 90s. Never shopped there myself. Decatur has their fair share of cheap furniture as well.

Another reason to be annoyed by IU. They are thieves. They stole our logo, the name of our basketball arena and now our playbook (as it would appear). It looks old though. Maybe Coach B is playin um

Hopefully we threw it out; at least the red zone

 

[Mr. Tibbs]

my bet is that playbook is not current and even if it was , there are only so many different plays you can run .

it’s knowing when you are going to run any particular one that gives you the advantage.

If we have a big Year this year it will be a huge statement in college football and recruiting. For BB to build on this year’s performance by doing even better will get a lot of attention. This is not unlike early Wisconsin under Alvarez.

Need a good year from McLovin(my new nickname for McCray and Love tandem) and Altmyer. We are losing our most efficient QB of all time and 1600+ rishing yards.

Shaq sized shoes to fill....

Who?

 

[NJJ871]

Who?

Perhaps you are asking that honestly, but I suspect it's a bit of an unnecessary dig at a player who played 3 seasons with the Illini, didn't get to see the field a lot but as far as I know put in the work. No need for anything more than "best wishes wherever you end up, I hope you find an opportunity for more playing time". Or just say nothing.

Caught a TD in one of the spring games.

Half the law firm made 4th on this list. We are in for a treat next season.

You didn't know either? 2018 Missouri recruit. Was there 2 years. Here three years.

I can confirm Altmyer is enrolled. Met him at Mumford Hall.

“The program‘s had a lot of the success in the previous… year”

New insider alert!

Am a long time fan. Feeling pretty damn good about the program and feeling even better about the trend. Had some reservations about BB, but he's killing it (in the context of our recent long-term dumpster fire). Our schedule is fortuitous. Even with some major personnel losses, another good to VG year is within reach. Really important to maintain continuity and keep moving up the food chain.

Completely agree - what is even more tantalizing is how close we were last year to a really special year - all 4 loses were winnable games
Looking to see us take that next step and win those one possession games this year

Serious question and no judgements or anything but for those of you who were cautious about Bret or didn’t want Bret what were your reasons? (Just curious)
