    Illinois Football Recruiting Thread

    They are all moving out of this state. The richest man in Illinois recently moved to Florida with his billions of dollars in tow!

    Illinois Hoops Recruiting Thread

    I know of one that is an NBA coach, is in charge of the defense, works with some of the bigs and is a former Illini and probably could be convinced to come if the offer is right!!!! P.S. Grew up 90 miles away!!!

    Coaching Carousel

    I think BB talked with Buh and he decided to enter the “coaches portal” so there’s a chance he could return just like some athletes return to their original school. Not!!!

    Northwestern 45, Illinois 43 Postgame

    As disappointing as it is now the reality is our secondary was very inexperienced our running back room was decimated and our offensive line was extremely inconsistent. With such a narrow margin of error our mistakes were extremely costly. I’m not sure different coaches would have made that much...

    Pregame: Illinois vs Wisconsin, Saturday, October 21st, 2:30pm CT, FS1

    My wife and I ride our bikes from SE Urbana every game. There are tons of places right by the stadium to lock your bikes. There are bike racks on three sides of the ARC and the rod iron fence that wraps around the stadium makes for a good, secure spot. You do need lights if you get to far away...

    Nebraska 20, Illinois 7 Postgame

    This team is struggling but so is the fandom. We acted like after one year we were going to compete for the Big Ten Championship and even get into the College playoffs! If you don't believe that go back to last years and some of this year's threads. We lost to many talented and high productive...

    Purdue 44, Illinois 19 Postgame

    Here's my analogy; If you were the head cook at a New Jersey diner and the inventory they give you is ground chuck, bottom round and strip steak but they have Filet Mignon, Ribeye and Porter House steaks on the menu and complain when the orders are coming out wrong, firing the cook would not...

    Better offensive line play would negate most of what you are stating. But until that happens, we'll never know!

    The Illinois Defensive Coordinator Search

    Or he could be preoccupied with trying to hold onto some assistants sitting on the fence and trying to make as many of them as possible happy!

    The Illinois Defensive Coordinator Search

    At least we know what Walters will throw at us defensively when we face him! There's always a silver lining, right?

    Penn State 74, Illinois 59 Postgame

    It's difficult to believe that with the caliber of this coaching staff that they would tolerate back-to-back poor practices. If they did and this effort was the result, then everyone one should be thrown under the bus, including all of the coaches! I don't like our offensive scheme one bit. We...

    Illinois 79, UCLA 70 Postgame

    Danija should start and Hawkins needs to come off the bench. He played tentative and seemed lost on offense. RJ also played tentative. Both are very talented but they need to trust their skills and play with more confidence and fluidity. The freshmen are legit! Great battle!!!

    Michigan State 23, Illinois 15 Postgame

    Well the only possible silver lining in this debacle might be that our defensive coordinator may not be such a hot commodity as he was prior to this game! Other than that we are still enjoying a great resurgence of Illini football!
