Game Thread: Illinois at Michigan State

[Twangers]

Lovie’s pulled a Jeff Brohm, he’s panicking. Quan Martin single high? That’s a terrible idea no matter how you slice it.

 

[GallopingGhost]

It sounds dramatic, but it would be so Illinois to lose out now, wouldn't it?

Absolutely. I think we will win NW and go bowling but these next two games are simply exhibition to me. Everyone show up to the one that matters, game #12

28-3.

Let's do the Michigan thing again then.

 

[Twangers]

That's where I'll have to disagree. They dont look great against top competition but neither have we (save for WIS). They were always better than us. Look at our losses and theirs and this was written on the wall

Which has nothing to do with the quality of their football team or the state of their actual roster, which again is not very good. This is a mediocre football team.

I just want to to play better. I don’t care about the W. I just want to play with some edge and fight.

 

[Deleted member 652352]

Oh lord.

 

[Twangers]

I don’t think that’s a catch.

 

[Deleted member 656517]

At least I can flip the channel to the LSU game. Only Illinois would get a targeting penalty on an offensive player

 

[Twangers]

That’s a very loose interpretation from Millen. That doesn’t look like a catch.

[Twangers]

That’s not targeting either. Both of these should go our way.

 

[OskeeWowzer]

That’s not targeting either. Both of these should go our way.

Agreed. But neither will...

 

[Twangers]

Agreed. But neither will...

Anyone who knows me is aware that I hate ref blaming (Hate) but if these don’t both go our way, we got the short end.

 

[IdahoIllini]

Fumble but no targeting would be my guess.

 

[Twangers]

Kramer clearly turns to shield helmet impact, that’s not targeting.

 

[AutoPoster 3000]

This is pathetic and it’s the most Illinois thing ever, 3 game win streak, D playing well, and we do this. Not the least bit surprised.

Three game win streak is the least Illinois thing ever.

 

[Deleted member 652352]

Let's get this to 28-17 at half.

 

[OrangeAndBlueBlooded]

Fumble but no targeting would be my guess.

I'm going with the opposite.

 

[Twangers]

Good calls.

 

[Deleted member 645583]

Fire Lovie!

 

[Deleted member 656517]

Didn't know u could review a late hit. That's the dumbest shi I've ever seen

 

[pvaughn8]

Fire Lovie!

Lol. The movement is back!

 

[Twangers]

Millen is right on that one, however. That play is designed to give Reggie that look. He’s our best player, he needs to make that play.

 

[IdahoIllini]

Weird call on Kramer. Surprised they reversed that call on the fumble. Figured it would stand as called.

Targeting has always been reviewable.
