Game Thread: Illinois at Nebraska

That was a bad offensive play call on 3rd and 1. It was even worse to not go for it on 4th.

I have little confidence our receivers can catch a ball, they make me nervous. Missing Geronimo and Dudek.

punt it away - we got this!

Seems like the kind of loss that should provide some motivation going forward. Builds the confidence to know we can compete, and might have won save for the refs in a key drive.

Dudek.

Dudek is most likely done playing CFB. If he does, it won't be anywhere near the level of where he was his freshman year.

Really disappointing. We were robbed of watching a really fun Illinois playmaker by double freak injuries.

Once again terrible call to end the game. No chance of first down.

dude, dr. pepper isn't going to care

You never know. I wrote something to auto-owners (obviously a much smaller company) once and one of their big-wigs wrote me back. That was about a service that cut-out mid-game, so it was a little more reasonable to complain to them about.

They wont care because theyll view it as a subjective referee call. But they will care that someone is not buying their products anymore - theyll just write it off as something they cant fix.
