If the Bowl Game is the first game of the next season, it will be a good one in 2025!

 

[Scoregasm]

10 wins bitches!!!

 

[bdutts]

Well done to the lads! Great season!

 

[abchew2]

Very entertaining game against a real quality opponent. Amazing season and nothing but hope for seasons to come. Way to play like this one matters because it really does to these fans!

 

[FoundersClub]

We are the cheeziest.

 

[LFOD]

My dreams tonight will be nothing but McCray and Laughery running the damn ball. And then running some more.

What an awesome game by the entire team.

 

[OskieWowWow]

There better be a lifetime extension with that bowl trophy

 

[SKane]

I think that I will go eat something like a chicken to celebrate this!!!

 

[bleedorange and blue]

We are good at football

 

[BlabDunkAnd1]

What a game! Please let BB stay forever. Between this game and the constant jersey number calling out in the Wisconsin game, his trolling is Belichik level

 

[Pikeillinifan]

What an amazing year, what an amazing program Bret and Josh are building for us. Happy New Year, such a great and unexpected day!!

I love Bret Bielema.
I love Josh Whitman.

I want a T shirt with a picture of Bret standing with his arms outstretched in that horrible “taunting” stance.

So, can we keep the Illinois script helmets?

No

 

[ILLINIShox24]

That was fun! Love having Bret lead our program!

Big Baller Bielema and Illini football have officially joined the party.

Ceeeeeeea-le-brate good times, come on!

Happy New Year’s, brothers and sisters.

This is obviously a sign that 2025 is gonna be super wavy.

Much love.

Just great! Thanks Brood for your fantastic posts!

Looking like they belonged was all I was hoping for, but I’ll be damned - winning that game, in that way, was beautiful.

 

[KyBourbon]

Great game! Happy New Years!

Lot's of people have downplayed these bowl games, especially with all the options outs. But we'll forever be in the top 25 for this year and the 10 wins. I wouldn't have been crushed with a loss but this is a huge win.

 

[OskieWowWow]

INSANE performance by the OLine. That seal block by Kreutz on McCray's run was *chef's kiss*

I was dead wrong. I never said anything in the prediction thread, but i really didn't like our chances going into this game. What a great season at 10-3.

 

[Mr. Tibbs]

I was a lil nervous the SoCar defender was going to punch the ball outta Josh’s hands on that long run

 

[TwinCityBreaker]

Barge- if do right, no can defend

 

[Fighter of the Nightman]

Now that I have had the proper time to form my opinion…

… I frickin’ love what Bret did. I-L-L, baby!!
