    Chicago Bears 2026-2027

    Just watched the Bears Hallmark movie and my God.....it's awful. Classic Hallmark awful. Funny cameos though!

    Illinois 105, Cincinnati 96 (Exhibition) Postgame

    Yep. The fact that we got out of it injury free was my priority. This is nothing more than a dry run to get some rust off and give the new guys some real life experience. When you return 70% of the roster, just no need to get caught up in it. I, personally, think that it was best when the...

    Chicago Bears 2026-2027

    12 minutes, when you don't have the ball, is forever in the NFL. Heck, we've seen the Bears come back from the dead with all starters in. Ok, let's go with the fact that they wanted to rest some guys. You don't do a hockey line change with the entire defense against an offense like that...

    Johnson needs to understand that the NFL isn't college. You don't sub out with 12 minutes to go.

    Chicago Bears 2026-2027

    That botched punt flipped momentum back. The Bears has lost it with three backbreaking penalties and a missed kick. Instead of up 14-7 with Atlanta having the ball at the end of the first half and beginning of the second....they go into the 3rd up 21-7. What an enormous break.

    Agree. The hold by Wright and the missed FG completely changed the game.

    Well, one way to keep the Atlanta offense in check is to keep them off the field.

    Chicago Bears 2026-2027

    My concern isn't the offense. This Bears defense holding Atlanta under 30 is hard to fathom. Those safeties are so green. Atlanta has the best back in the league, so they need to provide run support and their receivers are big plat guys, so they have to keep the cap on the defense. Tough...

    Illinois 105, Cincinnati 96 (Exhibition) Postgame

    Our defense definitely got better as the year went on last year, but man, it still lost us a lot of games. UCLA-20+ point lead MSU-lead late in game and we couldn't get a stop. Wisconsin- let's focus on the BTT where we lost not one, but TWO 15 point leads. The game at our place we also had...

    Week 7 Games

    The hot takes on this board is INSANE. The guy lost his starting QB, one of(if the the) best in the country and because they're not boat racing teams, he's toast? Good grief. First world problems. Season Overall Record Conference Record Conference / Finish Postseason / Bowl 2022...

    His catch and release is insanely quick.

    Week 7 Games

    He definitely doesn't have Mendoza's physical tools, but if Marsh does his job... it's a 22-19 Indiana win and we're not thinking about the QB as a weakness. We're talking about him driving them down the field in a perfectly drawn up 4th down play. He delivered a catchable ball and his guy...

    Week 7 Games

    Good correction. The QB got it out in front, it wasn't carrying the WR out of bounds, he just lost where he was on the sideline. That's just the WR not focusing on details and he knew it the second he caught it. I feel for him because that play, right or wrong, is going to be what's...

    Illini Basketball 2026-2027

    College basketball is now a professional league. Fans are watching million dollar salaries running up and down the floor. It's the cost of doing business and just like the NFL, NBA, MLB....that cost is pushed onto the fans via ticket prices, jerseys and concessions. Do you want a program that...
