Back to back bowl wins over SEC opponents? I just fell to my knees in a Pizza Hut parking lot.
Congratulations players & coaches of this Fighting Illini football team on a great season!!!

Damn fing proud to be an Illini. Hats off to a Bielema and staff. And hope they hang Luke’s jersey, he absolutely earned it. ILL
9 wins without getting a single borderline officials review in your favor all season is impressive, actually.

I saw a guy with TN gear on at Trader Joe's today. He didn't seem too confident. Truth be told, neither did I. I hope he enjoyed the game, if not the outcome.
Me, I'm loving both.
EDIT: We held them to 278 yards. Were it not for the miscue on Special Teams this was a very comfortable win.

Consecutive bowl wins over the big, bad SEC conference. Consecutive 9 win seasons. Congrats to Coach Bielema
Really proud of our kids for not hanging their heads and folding after the kick return TD. Luke is as cool as cucumber out there, and I will miss everything he did to help make our program relevant again.
About as good a finish to 2025 as you could ask for.

The fighting Bielemas do it again! I-L-L.
Honestly, this is what I’ve always wanted for this program and what should be achievable from here on out… a program like “Ferentz Iowa” with a floor of 8-9 wins and consistently in the top 25. This is fun. Thank you, Bret and Josh.
HAPPY NEW YEAR, EVERYONE!
