This is my family (all Illini fans), but their reactions in this random picture reminded me of that meme where the guy on one side of the bus is happy and the guy on the other side is sad.

I plan on using this photo all season, as needed. 😉😂

Saw that too. Loved it. But, I think he was saying, "hey, we're talking here"

As a collegiate soccer official, I can almost tell you what is going through the officials' minds.

1) They don't want to involve themselves in the game too much at the start, so they are not going to call much in the name of "letting the game flow".
2) The teams then proceed to beat the crap out of each other, and the game starts to careen out of control.
3) The officials then recognize it, so then they start calling every touch making an attempt to bring the game back under control.

Whether officiating assignors want to admit it or not, they don't want fouls called early. They want to see officials "manage" the game instead of calling the fouls that need to be called. I am the opposite of above in that I'll call games tight early and then adjust if the players adjust. That's not what assignors want, because that's not what coaches want and ultimately assignors work for the coaches.

It's not right, but it's reality. I wish assignors would be backed to support officials calling more fouls before games get too physical, but that's not what's wanted at the collegiate level.

Are we still firing Brad and the rest of the staff??. Glad to see KJ and KB be clutch and get a win!

Don’t think anyone has been calling for that. I do think this staff has some growing to do right now. Only reason they had to come up clutch at the end is because of squandering a 10 point late lead with so many careless, unnecessary turnovers caused by mental lapses which I hope slows down as the season progresses or we will have a disappointing season.

The refs with a no call when KJ gets literally buried by 2 Miznoz defenders at end of first half.... and then they waive off the put back by Rez. I just don't understand how 3 clowns can be so inconsistent during the course of one 40 minute game. And it seems to be every game. Please just let the players determine the outcome

I noticed in a little huddle before a freethrow, Riley was hanging his head. KB lifted his head up essentially saying keep your head up young man

I think all the teams know they can’t give Will room to move and you need to be physical with him. Ben is struggling with the speed of the game. Considering Morez is needed to spell Ivisic , both Ben and Will have to give minutes.
