The process isn't that dissimilar from basketball, and for the Illini the issue is that the quality wins just aren't there. They actually played a really strong non-conference schedule for a Big 10 team...they just didn't win any of them. Winning the BTT and getting the auto-bid is definitely in...

I can't quite figure out why, but there's something about the Broncos that makes it look so much more college, even though it's not really that different than other recent NFL redesigns.

We had a player named Solo Turner?

Two more Lovie recruits drafted, btw.

Kind of a bummer in hindsight that we had the 3rd highest drafted tight end and he had 19 catches last year.

Dane Brugler on The Athletic talking about Adams' tape at right tackle looking undraftable, but he's a plug and play Day 1 starter at guard. Some more insight into the 2023 Illinois football season.

Remember when we had Devon Witherspoon and Johnny Newton on the same defense? That was cool.

The thread from when the redshirt was announced should be a fun revisit. :ROFLMAO:

Can't really find any reason this won't end the same way most UConn games do.

Not the first time this has been the case this season, but it's very noticeable how small Smith and Loyer look being guarded by Newton and Castle.

Oh dang, that step through left handed finish was the type of thing I thought we might see from Clingan against Edey, not the other way around.

He wasn't on the 19-20 team where the tournament was canceled and everyone got a free year. My understanding was that the 20-21 freshmen got 6 years, but could still only play 4, but I guess that's wrong?

Can I get a reminder why Coleman has another year of eligibility? He wasn't here the COVID year and didn't redshirt.

Man, Arizona, Marquette, and Houston just all straight up laid massive eggs. Carolina showed up at least and just got beat.

We played so hard tonight. The team put themselves in a position where they could still win the game without shooting well. Don't let that go unnoticed.
