    Poll: Grade the Bielema hire

    Lovie a B+, give everyone a participation trophy. No way, his biggest recruit is an undersized QB that is a single threat. He Lovie, did not recruit "Football Players", and not a huge fan of BB, but he will get football players in here. They won't be 4 and 5 starts because there are teams...

    Bret Bielema Takes Reins of Illinois Football

    A lot of money, $1 million a win, could get that with anyone. I hope I am wrong. Should be fun at least with his wife's tweets. She use to be very outspoken and not to bad to look at. Is that not PC? Once again I hope I am wrong . Come see me in lot 34 next fall and tell me I was wrong.

    The Illinois Football Coaching Search

    Fickell and Campbell both make over 3 + million, they will not take a lateral move to rebuild a program. Especially Fickell he is born in OHIO.

    Missouri 81, Illinois 78 Postgame

    Totally agree, If you are a top 10 team need to come out from the tip. Duke is bad and let's be done with that game. Mizzou just outplayed the Illini who looked like they did not want to be there. Just because you made a run at the end means nothing, it means you dug yourself a hole by...

    Northwestern 28, Illinois 10 Postgame

    "Hope" is not a game plan, and IW is not the savoir. Unfortunately Lovie will be back and that's a shame. Covid ruined a lot of college teams seasons NW OSU IOWA Indiana Coastal Carolina , Buffalo, etc. Whitman will use the covid as an excuse to give Lovie one more year. Might be some...

    Pregame: Illinois at Nebraska, Saturday, November 21st, 11:00am CT, FS1

    A lot of ORANGE KOOLAIDE flowing, we barely beat a bad Rutgers team. So when Lovie gets a win he gets to stay for another 2 years.

    Pregame: Illinois at Nebraska, Saturday, November 21st, 11:00am CT, FS1

    Nebraska is not Rutgers. I hope they start IW , so we can put this future QB idea to rest. I hate to say Nebraska by 21, Rutgers kept the Illini in the game last week with their QB play.

    Illinois 23, Rutgers 20 Postgame

    Let's take a deep breath and relax. Rutgers is bad . There play calling and coaching kept the ILLINI in the game and gave them a chance to win. With that being said, you will not be successful with a running QB unless they are 6'2 and bigger. They take to much punishment. This week against...

    Transfers

    Doesn't matter, you start loosing guys, does not look for recruiting. Can't afford to loose starters or backups and with protocols and injuries you need depth. Now players have a free year they will be looking around for a better situation.
