I’ll be honest, I think if it wasn’t a rainy slopfest we could have won that. Proud of their fight, go beat Iowa next week!!

I TAKE IT ALL BACK

Didn’t know that one!!

K I’m done Houser needs to sit.

What a kick in the wiener it would be to lose this game with our defense playing its best game the year due to an offensive poopfest

Benefits them in a big way - their lead running back is an animal and their DL is really good. Still feel good about the game but it’s definitely gonna help them.

Our defense is gonna be using a “ground stop” on their passing attack tonight *ducks*

I’m listening to the locked on UCLA stream today and they could not be respecting Illinois less lol They’re getting excited about being able to score 59 on us. A lot of “en route to 10-0” and how excited they are to host Michigan next week. We’re gonna win.

This feels pretty pessimistic. I think I was more concerned before the weather forecast called for rain. I was nervous about shock plays and at this point I’m much less concerned about that. Their defensive line seems pretty good so having Renfro healthy is critical here. If you don’t have...

This is exactly why I love uniform discourse. There’s something so undefinable about good aesthetic. I love the shoulder stripes but some people hate em. I think we have a set that can age really well right now save for the font lol

50 cents per ticket, per inflation, would be ~$7.85 today. Wild.

The rose bowl is almost 30 miles from campus and that’s Los Angeles traffic to add on. So students are - for the most part - dealing with a lot to get out there. Other people in and around LA care more about USC than UCLA. LOTTA UIUC GRADS in socal. I genuinely think theres a good chance you...

So I had the idea to create a wordmark for the helmet that combines elements of the arched, script, and underlined wordmarks into one. I think I came up with a good one here. It retains the I from the current Illinois script mark, but it subs “Illini” for Illinois. It has a significantly deeper...
