WHAT A GAME!! WHAT A SEASON!!! TEN WINS!! Who'd have believed it? The bookies called the Illini as a 10-point underdog before the game. Illinois has dealt with the same disrespect all season. It was VERY satisfying to see the bookies handed a loss today. HAPPY NEW YEAR, ILLINI NATION!!!

One of my favorite "F" words on a day like this...FINAL. Congratulations, Illini!!!

MUUUUUCH BETTER!!

And they went for 2! And got it!!! Gutsy call!!!

You all know the old saying: "If you want anything done right..." Well done, Luke!!!

YEAAAAAAAAH

That's it, fellas...finesse the clock...getting to FG range...

Okay, so now hold Rutgers off for 13 minutes, then kick a FG at the end to win. Easy. 😆

NOW I think we could actually beat Rutgers - even though a Noo Joisey school doesn't belong in the Big Ten! 😆 I read somewhere we might face Missouri in a bowl. I HATE the Tigers. They always embarrass us. But...maybe this year will be different. Keeping the faith. Well done, coach and players!!!

The quality of the post-season bowl we'll play in is getting worse by the week. Gotta get two of the remaining ones. Gotta. And I don't wanna see another 19-10 bowl loss, either.

Injuries showing their effect. But gotta find a way to win. How can we vanquish major powers but lose to a Minnesota?

Less than a minute. Hail-Mary pass time.

Defense needs to intercept Minn and run back for a TD. Is that too much to ask?

This will either be a depressing loss or a surprise thrilling finish.

And now we need an interception. Come on, D...
