It’s so nice to see the I on a hat with no fakes

Amazing what an upset then dominating a “should win” does. Keep it rolling.

If the team finishes strong can we get Lovie to hire an experienced DC and give some freedoms to bring the schemes up to par with today’s game then I think the team will be in decent shape.

If Lovie has the team giving effort and playing like today then he deserves more time. This was what we all expected. Not necessarily beating the #6 team, but competing like this. This team doesn’t lose to EMU, this team destroys UCONN. Something switched at halftime against Michigan. Keep it...

College Gameday this morning Herbstreit said “Michigan had 295 yards rushing last week against Illinois...but it’s Illinois so...” This is why Lovie must go. This is the national reputation. Illinois is a joke that hasn’t ended since the Rose Bowl. Beckman made it worse and Lovie hasn’t done a...

PJ Fleck is literally doing it at Minnesota right now in the B1G...

Hard pass on Monken and triple option. If that move was made and it didn’t work it would set the program back further than Beckman did.

That Alex Grinch defense looked awfully good today ;)

I don’t understand the JW hate. I am far from an insider, but isn’t he the first to truly get stuff done in the AD the right way? The new building is state of the art and there has been/will be projects for other sports. BU seems to be turning the corner. Lovie got people talking about Illinois...

Brand new football building, 60k seat B1G stadium, low expectations (any Bowl will do now), and reason to believe money to spend. It has to be enticing.

I don’t think money is a major issue. Can we please start kicking around realistic names that aren’t high school coaches are solely alum?

What about Todd Grantham? Elite defensive coordinator that was successful at Mississippi State and now Florida. Not sure if he is a legitimate option. Unsure of his recruiting and he’s never gotten a shot before.

Nebraska is clearly more talented yet they made a more recent coaching change and gained nearly 700 yards. There is 0 excuse for not being as talented and poor X and Os. Nebraska hadn’t won a road game in 2 years...

Let’s get none other than the Pirate. He wins with less and is entertaining as hell.

Can’t get an L next week at least :)
