Un freakin believable

 

[illini67]

JCL playing hard!

 

[IlliniReb]

Love the defensive intensity!

 

[SuperMetroid]

One stop would be nice

 

[FeelYourPaign]

I don't want to hear any of you call this a big win. A fun and good win. Not a big win.

Well said

Face it. Groce is back from the dead. Nothing will ever be easy for Illinois athletics.

 

[GoosenibbleScooter]

Turn the flame down on that hot seat for another day!

 

[illiniknight]

One hell of a game.

 

[OrangeKrus28]

However this one ends up, we got really balanced scoring from several guys. A total team effort on both ends of the ball.

It's not a win yet

 

[CoalCity]

JCL playing like a man possessed. At least running around hard.

Is it over?

 

[illini8507]

Man those would have been big, gotta keep the pressure up on D here, and for the love of God don't lose McIntosh or law on the inbounds

Not yet...

ganz grosse.

 

[ritster]

Best effort and passion I have seen all year from this team. Maybe they watched that Kansas-Kansas State game last night and realized what it really takes to win at this level.

 

[dsg]

We got 'em on the ropes!

 

[Adnarel]

Turn the flame down on that hot seat for another day!

The seat's already a pile of ash, methinks.

But I'll always root for the O&B to win, dead coach walking or no.

 

[dweebs19]

might we get our first road win? I see we brought the ladder today.

 

[bombayIllini]

Too much for me.

 

[oldman]

Best use of bench all year

Just caught up with the game, and the thread. I agree on this one. Fun to see them have a nice win against an in-state foe, but it's not like Griffey and Indiana.
