    Illini Football 2021

    Unfortunately Blake's fake punt skills don't translate to the NFL whatsoever; the delayed kick move he's mastered this year is illegal by NFL rules.

    Beer to be sold at Memorial Stadium and State Farm Center

    I'm cautiously hopeful that their beer selection will mirror what I've historically seen available in both the Colonnades Club along with the premium seating sections at SFC. I have only sat in those sections once each for games, but I distinctly remember having a Riggs Hefeweizen (albeit on...

    Illini Football 2017

    I didn't assume it was an open competition, and I bet a lot of other people didn't either. In fact, I could've sworn that we've already heard something about Crouch being the starting quarterback from either McGee or Lovie. Does anyone else remember that or am I mistaken?

    NIT Pregame: #2 Illinois vs #6 Boise State, Monday, March 20th, 8:00pm CT, ESPN

    Stole this joke from Mark Titus, but I absolutely think you should hang up a banner for winning the NIT and technically being the 69th best team that year. nice

    Pregame: Illinois at Indiana, Saturday, January 7th, 4:00pm CT, ESPNU

    If you have Legacy Club access, you can buy beer/wine down there. However, you can't bring it to your seat. From my experience it was nice to get to the game 20-25 minutes early, enjoy a beer, then enjoy a second at halftime. I really do hope they adjust the rules going forward though to...

    Pregame: Illinois at Maryland, Tuesday, December 27th, 4:00pm CT, ESPN2

    Using current kenpom rankings/predictions, there is a 3.5% chance that this occurs. EDIT: I'm not a big math guy so I can't tell you the scenarios for other records, I'm sure someone else on this board could though. I can tell you that over the same 7 games, we'd have about a .02% chance of...

    Winthrop 84, Illinois 80 OT POSTGAME

    While the end of this game left a TON to be desired, I'm not jumping off the ledge just yet. Winthrop just lost by 14 to a ranked Florida State team WITHOUT Keon Johnson. Was he worth +14 over their backup point guard? I'd assume so. Last night hurt, but it's not a death sentence.

    Lovie Smith's contract revised

    Just a hunch, but I'm guessing this restructuring is due to the fact that the Buccaneers somehow successfully fought that clause.

    Jaylon Tate's case dismissed

    There's plenty of middle ground here. Has it been reported yet that she was the one that called police? It could have been a friend that called on her behalf. If it was a friend that called the police, that's the right move for the friend to do in that situation, IMO. What happened after that...

    Josh Whitman Named 14th Illinois Athletics Director

    I refuse to refer to him as 'JFW' until he ditches the polo - blazer combo. Woof.

    Unless, he deleted the tweet, he didn't say that.

    Illinois Football Staff Thread

    I'm pretty sure he was referring to Ricker being a huge upgrade over Butkus at the time based on the post he was quoting, so you two are in agreement.
