    Illinois at Ohio State, Saturday, September 26th, 11:00am CT, FOX

    If we are destined for a 5 turnover game (from either team) please let it be this one. Either we get ours out of the way for the season (against a team we’d likely never beat), or we win because they gave us the ball 5 times. (I’d prefer the latter)

    Illinois 48, Southern Illinois 10 Postgame

    Here’s the key with the JB love (and this is 100% typed with the same enthusiasm y’all have after seeing him run yesterday): 1. It was SIU’s backups, who he should definitely be able to run over. 2. Can he pass block yet? If not, he will be a “it’s a run” tipoff to the D every time he comes in...

    Michigan 13, Western Michigan 12

    Someone posted the video of the “trouble with the snap” end of game sequence back on page 18 of this thread. The overarching, fundamental “oops” with the whole WMU game is that the replay booth felt the need to parse out whether there was time left. In the “trouble with the snap game” they did...

    Michigan 13, Western Michigan 12

    From what I can tell it seems Gritty is saying the replay booth made the wrong call. (To answer your question directly) They made the wrong call based off how replay procedures should be enacted. Indisputable must mean indisputable and the video the replay booth had and (comparatively quickly I...

    Illini Volleyball 2026

    You don’t directly buy wins. Ask Kentucky basketball. But not having money does explain those losses. The money problem is that we aren’t dedicated to spending on facilities or a better coach. Without those things, we don’t get the better players. With a coach that just doesn’t have it, and...

    2026 Season Predictions Thread

    Well that’s not encouraging. (Regarding the defense) If you’re willing to share, is it simply that we aren’t doing well implementing the new D (but it could get better by years end) or that we will need a couple years to recruit to/teach it before it gets going?

    Chicago Cubs 2026

    Holy crap, he won us a WS for the first time since airplanes were in their infancy…since cars resembled 4 wheeled bicycles…since before they STARTED construction on the Titanic …and there are people complaining about him? I agree that he got jumpy in game 7, but if you blame him for almost...

    The mascot debate/fandom thread

    I don’t really care to have a mascot, and if I did I’m team “Blocky-The-I” all the way… But generally speaking (typing?) this version of the costume is lightyears better than their original version. If you have a bird mascot, it either needs to be majestic or mischievous. The previous one was...

    I was more referencing what seemed like behavior/personality stuff at Arkansas as opposed to schedule. But yeah, dude had a crazy tough road to succeed there. He definitely got an insightful look under the hood of the SEC machine, which means he truly was the perfect hire right as NIL was...

    I was 100% skeptical and was afraid we were getting Arkansas BB and not this new BB. 1. Happy to be wrong. 2. Goes to show that people don’t always stagnate and can change for the better when they learn and grow from past experiences.

    Gies Memorial Stadium

    “STADI” is one of the Initial Approach Fixes if you’re shooting the VOR approach into RWY 22 at Willard. It’s also the Final Approach Fix but either way there’s a hard altitude restriction of at least 2500 feet so it shouldn’t bother them much as they fly well over it. (Might honestly make it...
