No script and no arched Illini, our 2 best options, has been criminal. Block I is ok, but continuing to push slant (that blue stars version was awful) is bs

My approach would be to consistently prioritize OL and DL in $ allocation, recruiting, development, portal… build everything from the trenches out. Those are your proverbial rising tide, force multipliers that maximize whatever talent you have elsewhere across the board.

Thanks. I went back and rewatched it. The DT #96 was in the middle of the field standing on the 30. He never touched the ball and easily let the returners behind him come up and field it well before any of our cover team had gotten within 15 yards. Their returner #99 not a DT, picks it up on the...

Ugh. Thanks for sharing that from the radio. I guess that “reason” is better than none, but #96 was in the middle of the field standing on the 30. Kicking at him like that to get the ball, the risk reward still just makes no sense.

That and the squib kick were unjustifiably bad and went unaddressed in the presser.

This guy? This has been a problem for several years. However, I believe we’ve also heard ppl in the program think he’s great, but why I don’t know.

Anyone know why it was named Illibuck instead of Buckini??? 😂🤔🤷🏻‍♂️

Listened to the Werner podcast and concerns only compounded. Really surprised just how far what we’re seeing is from what we were told were the upsides. So far the 3-3-5 has not been difficult to prep for or counter scheme against at all, generates no havoc/disruption/takeaways, and opp yac is...

No way tackling that poorly can be all because of not tackling in practice, preseason or whatever either

Yes! Love Cantler's

We'll be better than fine, but what happened to not pivoting? Price too high or did something else sour?

Now that it seems we're totally done with the hideously awful BB rebrand unis and have our best, truly outstanding kits in both BB and FB, I only hope and pray we keep these versions for a long long time and don't screw with them for some stupid reason.

Could have entirely opposite impact though too, fostering greater confidence whenever handling off nights, adversities or whatever and elevating further
