Game Thread: Illinois at Kansas

[illiram]

These 2 announcers should be fired today. Are they both stoooopid?

 

[AutoPoster 3000]

He is might not be in….

I’m not sure if he’s in but his head definitely turned at the last second.

 

[DocMorgan]

He is might not be in….

Ehhh???

 

[LoveLovie]

His finger tips are on the ball.. it's over the line.

 

[ChiefGritty]

Jeez are the refs just a little bit against us in this game or what?

The worst call in this game was the block in the back on the would be Kansas TD

 

[IlliniTaffy]

Can they overturn that?

 

[Ramrod2010]

Not in.

Edit...Refs have the over.

 

[IlliniKrush]

what game are these announcers watching? he didn't turn his head at all

And there is a launch. That should be an easy call

 

[Battle89]

Fox, CBS, and NBC, "We are paying the wrong conference."

They weren’t paying for Illinois

 

[aaeismacgychel]

Agreed. He almost got Altmeyer killed and two plays before he whiffed and caused a sack

Honestly, Pearl has been far better this game than Crisler at RT. Our line has had all sorts of issues.

 

[ChiefGritty]

.....why were we going for 2?

 

[thehass]

Why go for 2 there anyway?

Agree.

 

[Captain 14]

.....why were we going for 2?

Exactly

 

[aaeismacgychel]

.....why were we going for 2?

In theory 8-8-8-3 for the tie

 

[AyoDos11]

.....why were we going for 2?

Touchdown go for 2, Touchdown go for 2, field goal to tie? Idk seems kinda silly

 

[DocMorgan]

.....why were we going for 2?

Not sure. Was just trying to figure that out. Down 19 or 20?

 

[Ramrod2010]

"Defense"

 

[Pikeillinifan]

Exactly

We’re playing to win baby!!!

 

[CV Illini]

“It looks like he turned his head at the last second.” Dud ware really just say that? Turned it how much? 2 millimeters?

His head turned because it bounced off Luke’s sternum

 

[ChiefGritty]

In theory 8-8-8-3 for the tie

7-7-7 for the win surely the more probable scenario. It's the third quarter.

 

[LoveLovie]

.....why were we going for 2?

Go for 2 twice and get the field goal

 

[aaeismacgychel]

The worst call in this game was the block in the back on the would be Kansas TD

Agreed. This is a game where we definitely can't blame the refs thus far.

 

[thehass]

Don't think that should have been a penalty on KU. Just my opinion.

Agree.

 

[Krombopulos_Michael]

Shades of the Lovie era on defense.

 

[Old.Edgy]

Bad call... McCray was NOT in for the conversion....
