    Illinois Football Uniforms

    No offense to Brett but having a “blue out” against a red team with a fanbase that travels really well seems like a risk. The red’s gonna stick out like a sore thumb where it would have washed out in a sea of orange. Nebraska fans are insufferable so I’m expecting them to eat that up. Probably...

    Illini Football 2026

    How I see this year: Floor 5-7 Ceiling 9-3 1. Biggest concerns are OL replacement and DL replacement. 1(a) - our OL was not great last year. Luke was running for his life on more than one occasion and we had the 92nd ranked rushing offense. 12th in the big ten. 1(b) - our DL landed at 40th...

    Pregame: Illinois vs Houston, 9:05pm CT, TBS

    There’s going to come a point in tonight’s game where we get punched in the mouth. If you watched the first two games (or any game this season against a quality opponent) there’s usually a moment where things get hairy. It’s gonna come tonight. If we try to shoot our way out of it I think we’re...

    Coaching Carousel (Football)

    If so - count me in 100%. DB’s coach that’s been with Devon Witherspoon the whole time, and has been the passing game DC (whatever that means?) for one of the best defenses in the entire league. I’m all for it.
