I also think Lovie was the right name at the right time. He got people talking about Illinois and while his coaching was questionable, he did recruit rather well. Look at the number of NFL players taken last year. I believe things happen for a reason.

I was wondering if this is the best thing to happen to Mr. Brian. Get out from under daddy's shadow. Maybe dad's philosophy was holding him back. (shrugs)

Thanks. Between SHG and Rochester, it will be interesting which one gets bumped if any.

Anyone know what radio station around Springfield will be carrying the game. HS football usually dominates all the station around here.

One thing I have noticed this year is that I get excited watching this defense.

Hmmmmm. Maybe it's the high-level defense. Naaaaaaaa, that can't be it.

True, but it looks like they have them losing to Purdue also. Hmmmmm.

What consequences, most trolls would never have the guts to say these things in a bar. The bar consequences are panful. I am referring to actual adult opinions, not trolls. Most people can tell the difference, but not all. I learned early online that you do not feed the trolls. That's what they...

This is one of the problems I see too much of these days. Stating an opinion does not mean that person is trying to sway anyone. Too many people take opposing opinions as personal and attack without a need. Everyone has their opinion and most are neither right or wrong. It is just an opinion...

OK. This one made me spit out my coffee. Nice.

Targeting? Maybe 50/50 in my opinion. Bigger question is why no flag for roughing the passer or at least late hit. Crazy no call in any direction. Did anyone else get the feeling that Bebe was off all game? He just did not seem like the same player from 2 weeks ago. I think the second Int was...

Here is another possible aspect. Once the ball gets past the LOS gauntlet, most players loosen up to get more speed or maneuvering. Also, a lot of our TOs are coming from blind side hits that create the shock factor. It seems to me that our D is flying to the ball a lot more this year. More...

OK, watching the game again today and I have a question concerning the penalty against Kramer. Even though the officials correctly determined that it was not targeting, how did they come to the "late hit" conclusion? The whistle had not been blown and the player was not on the ground yet. While...

Just got home from work and there is no way for me to get sleep now. Work will be brutal tomorrow at 5:30am. I was streaming the radio on my phone and I think i gave the cashier a heart attack at the grocery store when we score that last TD. GO ILLINI.

OK....I don't post much and after this you all might understand why. I believe that if we are winning or keeping it close at halftime, it's our game. If you look at the second half against every team from Michigan to now, our halftime adjustments have been spot on. I would love for us to come...
