What a game! And what a performance by Luke to cap off such a successful run at Illinois. I am going to miss the heck out of that kid! Such a great story, great player, and great person. I was in the house for his very first game as an Illini, and the first time he helped pull victory from the...

Andrej was shook when Tomi smashed the guitar :ROFLMAO:

Barring some sort of serious turnaround, they absolutely will not. Could very well be Luke's final game as an Illini. Hoping that could be enough to motivate the guys he leads to play inspired football.

Luke absolutely is an all-timer. I'm grateful he stayed loyal and came back. Makes it all the more tragic that things have gone the way they have, relative to expectations. Yes, we can rehash again how much better things are now than they were for the program, just a few short years ago, and I...

I feel so bad for Luke having chosen to come back and for THIS to be his final season of eligibility. There have been moments, but overall, a pretty pathetic and impotent showing when expectations were (reasonably) so much higher.

This would be a very different game right now if the refs were calling a fair game. Just pathetic.

Absolutely the kind of game where you must create some chaos and avoid self-inflicted damage, in order to have a chance. We don't have the dudes to play this game straight up and win. It's as simple as that. So that means we must cause turnovers and throw whatever curveballs we may have in the...

This defense is beyond pathetic

All you can do is laugh at that. This is Illinois football.

HUGE play, HUGE upheld call! I-L-L!

Playing a much better game this week, obviously, but gotta admit USC has shot themselves in the foot a fair number of times. Need to turn up the intensity and score on this next drive, preferably a TD.

Dylan. Rosiek. SNATCHED!

How can you not get fired up after hearing that?! I-L-L!

I've had this one pegged as a loss (in my mind) for a while now. The fact that it's a night game reinforced that gut feeling. The important thing to remember is that a loss in this game wouldn't mean the end of anything, and could even prove to be a good thing for the team, in the big picture...

Another huge step into what continues to be shaping into a Golden Era for Illinois Athletics. This is solid affirmation that things are truly in the best hands with JW at the helm, and the outstanding staff he has assembled to lead our programs. Investments such as this simply don't happen...
