    Illini Football 2026

    To me that is why this loss to Duke hurt so much. The team has to have sustained success to have a hope getting fans/donors excited and moving up the pecking order. An 8 win season would put us on that path and letting that one slip away means the team has to run the table in the toss up games...

    Agree. The NIL budget did not lose this game.

    Duke 31, Illinois 27 Postgame

    I think we win this game with Luke. Houser seemed a little like the pressure of the moment got to him on the last two drives.

    He was targeted in be 4th, but slowed route down instead of trying to get open to bail Hauser out. Houser threw it behind him, but he should have scrambled for maybe a 1st down.

    It must have died with the Underwood hiring and the chaos after each season eliminating the end of year banquet.

    Michigan 13, Western Michigan 12

    Agree. Probably the right call. However, there are dozens of calls throughout that game that don't get reviewed. It would be interesting to hear the full audio from the time the play ended. No one watching or in the stadium thought there was any question that that game was anything but over...

    Illini in the Pros (Football)

    Sounds like osteoarthritis like millions of Americans. Quite early but with the wear and tear of a professional athlete I guess it makes sense.

    I have been wondering why they didn't put rear boards all the way at the top.

    Not to hijack the thread, but I have a similar story with State Farm only paying for part of a claim when one of their customers hit my vehicle. The other driver was 100% at fault yet it cost me $5,000.
