    Illini Football 2023

    Illinois moved down to 85 in the APR. 12th in the Big 10 beating only Penn State and Maryland. It's been a pretty steep drop the past couple years. Not a huge deal, but if we're 5-7 we wont be filling any empty slots

    Gator Bowl: Rutgers vs Wake Forest

    After Lasagna and Lovie's indifference, it's so great to have coaches in both sports embrace a confident, winning, "let's play" mindset. Say what you want about going, but we have a freaking coach now that says "Bring It On" and engages on Twitter to bring attention to the team. That's...

    Illinois Football Recruiting Thread

    Don't want to put too much stock into just a stat but DiVito's QBR in '19 (his good year) was worse that Peters QBR this year. Hopefully there are some better options out there, but the better QBs are going to want to see how we shore up the OL. While I don't think Martinez fits the scheme...

    Football Coaching Staff / Coaching Carousel Thread

    Whether Lovie stays for 2019 or not...there almost certainly will be a change for 2020....but I ask for as bad as Lovie has been. Can we trust Josh to make a hire when he emptied the bank for a disaster? While he's a good guy, his tenure at this point has not been any improvement from...
