Katin is going to be entertainment at it's best. He looks like he can pick defenses apart at will with his quick decision making and release.

I've not heard of an Illini coach inviting an entire team to a game but he picked a great one to start with. Rochester totally embarrassed the #1 ranked 7A team in the first half last Friday. Best discipline I've seen from a high school team in a long time. There's not one or two outstanding...

Looks like the Beckman effect appeared for 7 years of generally downward trending.

I miss those awesome NEZ bleachers! Those were my favorite seats. Could sit 3 to 5 rows off the field, the team warmed up right in front of you. You could almost reach out and touch the action.

We apologize for not asking earlier, geneva. Would you be willing to give some of your 20+M to Illini athletics?

You might be right. We won't be favored against Iowa but that's the kind of "upset" Bielema is good at pulling off.

While I'm hoping for 9 wins, there are just too many questions unanswered on both lines. 8-4

That's what every OC & HC says whose QB2 has had a great spring but they don't want them to take their foot off the peddle. They'll never say the QB2 had a great spring. They want to keep pushing the QB2 to keep getting better and better. Worth making a note of until we hear a pattern of...

Makes me want to go back to high school and play ball. What an incredible opportunity to be coached by an All-American and such an inspirational man.

The calls for 11 or 12 p4 conference games are short sighted. We need some number of early season non-con games so we can test out frosh, and 2nd and 3rd stringers. If they never get playing time, the product will be worse a few years down the road.

How did Boyd's pitch look from the mound?

I don't understand this thinking. How can we on one hand widely complain about X's injury because he was playing late in a blow out loss, and on the other hand celebrate that our QB1 was in for every play - including the very same blow out loss? Because we got lucky, we should press our luck...

I'm surprised and disappointed how few snaps our QB2's have gotten in the last couple years. It's time to get Carson in the game!

Mel Gray was lightening. Pru, you might also be thinking of Bobby Moore who was drafted by the Football Cardinals in 1972 and became known as Ahmad Rashad. Another great wide receiver. Oh those days of Air Coryell were fun.

I love double booms!
