Just wondering what Illini coach has been in to see JT?

One thing I think is overlooked in all scenarios is who this team practices against. If Lucas can beat Tate or Tracy in practice I don't think that says a whole lot. Point is I don't believe you can be better than average if that's what you go against everyday in practice. I think this team...

This team needs an infusion of speed and it's getting some. I think we'll see a nice improvement on our kick / punt return teams. Shorter fields for the offense will really help them out. There's still good recruits in play out there. Speed kills. You can coach kids up and scheme all day but in...

First a Bragging Rights victory now Kendrick commits. Christmas weekend off to a fantastic start.

As Jim Ross would say - Business is about to pick up.

Not sure what happened with him. Some said injury but with a team void of pass catchers he fell off the planet.

Come to Illinois and be the number 1 guy from the start or go to Bama and blend in with the other 5 star players. I'm sure he could make an impact there but at Illinois he becomes the face of the football team.

Would Terry Hawthorne be to raw for a job as D-back coach if it would open up here? Might be able to do some heavy lifting in the STL area.

One of my many questions after not watching all the game is what the hell does Wisconsin's S&C staff do differently with their O-linemen than we have been doing ? The difference in the lines really stood out.

I agree with Cubby. If JGJ finishes the year as the starter, which I hope he does, having that experience plus everyone with another year in the weight room maybe means the offense can be solid. Then McGee can transition to his preferred offense over the next couple seasons letting kids mature...

Defense played their butts off today.Offense had zero going for it then WHAM-O. I wanted to cry when M State caught that td late in the fourth. I felt like we had played so hard and we were going to lose in typical heart breaking fashion. Then Jr. channeled some of the old man for a drive. Just...

I read A Lion Eye's depth chart article earlier and it's crazy what this team needs for next year.

Things Lovie may have thought he had going for him when looking at this job: decent senior QB, stud RB, experienced OL , experienced DL . His type of football : run the ball behind said OL , shorten game for maturing defense. Injuries and inconsistencies have derailed the plan . I agree with...

I find it numbing that of all the WR/TE brought here the last few years only 2 of them can make a difference on the field. Not saying they're not talented but just not up to this level. Patience and recruiting are the keys to the future. Hoping we have enough of both.

Curious what people think of our wide receiver commits being able to contribute next year compared to what we have presently. I'd be in favor of finding a JUCO to play opposite Turner if thy could run good routes and get open. Also where has throwing to the tight end gone? Seems we did some of...
