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!

I assumed he was a) pointing out that he knows Illini nation and our history very well and he'll love us whatever we're called, and b) he's just messing with us already

I'll have what Zuppke's drinking, but I'm not comfortable with 10 wins. I'm rooting for a 10 win season but my money would be on 8 until I know more of the facts. Felt much more confident going into last season when I wished for 10 but expected 9.

So we stole the #1 player from MO and the #1 player from Wisconsin. When was the last time we had two #1 players from any 2 states?

24 TFL? How many games do TX high schools play in a season?

I agree with Mr Tibbs. The Illini win both today and Monday. We are not playing like an 8 loss team. We're a different team now. Height is not just an advantage in rebounding. We've used it lately in the proper way to get straight up - with both hands up - right in the face of shooters...

With the only losses to #1 and #2. That should garner some respect.

Nebby is a home game but I see it the same way. 8-3 plus a toss up that should favor the beloved at home.

Fall wins are for the fans too. As a fan, I'd love to see a spring game (and I loved the years when they played spring games in Chicago and Springfield) but I'd also rather not tip our hand by giving any clues to our opponents to study. Preserve the fall wins at the expense of our spring...

That would be hilarious.

I just noticed this thread. You're right. I say snowboard cross is like NASCAR on snow on a steep hill. It's been my favorite Olympic sport of all but they reduced the number of racers this year from 6 to 4 and that eliminated most, but not all, of the crashes. It is absolutely fun to watch.
