    Illini Football 2026

    What 3 games do you have on the major networks for Week 2? I don't see how one of them doesn't carry you guys vs Duke? Obviously Mich/Oklahoma and Iowa/Iowa St.

    Illini Football 2026

    I’m currently doing nerd math trying to figure out the TV selections. This is just based off which networks prefer certain teams and how I believe they will select the weeks so take it with a grain of salt but right now I have it September 12th: Big Noon: Oklahoma @ Michigan CBS (3:30) Iowa...

    CFP & Bowl Games

    I think the coaching and discipline is night and day. With NIL the teams are on the same playing field athletically but the execution and attention detail scheme wise is on a different level in the B10. Rewatch some SEC shootouts from this season and you’ll see how many points come from blown...

    Illinois 88, Ohio State 80 Postgame

    GG Fellas, poise felt like the difference. You challenged yourselves with your schedule and it paid off. Made winning plays and free throws to close it out. Those freshman are studs. A deep tourney run looks like a real possibility

    Pregame: Illinois at Ohio State, Tuesday, December 9th, 6:30pm CT, Peacock/YTTV

    Fair Point haha It's a tough league so road games in the big 10 in general are hard to win. I do think the atmosphere the last two or 3 years in the Schott is night and day from what it used to be though. If you guys struggle it will have more to do with execution then the half empty arena LOL...

    Pregame: Illinois at Ohio State, Tuesday, December 9th, 6:30pm CT, Peacock/YTTV

    The Schott unfortunately (for us) isn't too tough of a venue to play. If it's close late the crowd will get into the game. But it really doesn't come close to selling out until after football season and weekend games typically have the best attendance. Bruce Mobley Royal Noel Tilly Is a very...

    Week 14 Games

    I’ve been preparing for The Game this week. I typically go back and re-watch a lot of the OSU vs TTUN games or at least the 15 minute cut ups of them the week of. I was rewatching the 01 Game in Ann Arbor this morning and heard the announcer say “Ohio State pulls off the upset. Illinois is the...

    Agreed, it's at Auburn at night too. That will be a fun hate watch. Hopefully Auburn pulls it off.

    3 seems most likely. Maybe a chance at 4 with a little bit of help OSU and Indiana (locks) 10-2 USC 10-2 Oregon If SC beat Oregon in a close game and then Oregon bounced back with a big win @Washington we maybe could get 4 with some help. That would probably take Bama losing the Iron Bowl or...

    Pregame: Illinois at Wisconsin, Saturday, November 22nd, 6:30pm CT, BTN

    I was thinking about this the other day. The schedules are so unbalanced. Nebraska didn’t have to play OSU, Indiana, or Oregon and got Michigan, USC, and Iowa all at home. You guys probably run the table and are fighting to play in the big 10 championship with that schedule
