Game Thread: Illinois at Northwestern

[BWBW]

They are shredding us.

Whats the record for missed tackles in one game?

 

[kyillinifan]

We have the miss tackle record. Still not out of the game.

 

[Illini-Rule]

This game is about to turn into an ugly rout.

 

[thehass]

When we need 5 yards for a first down, have we ever thrown a quick slant?

It's not in the playbook.

“A star is born”

 

[BWBW]

Guessing 42-3 final score.

 

[CurbeloYourEnthusiasm]

Just getting out toughed.

 

[Illini-Rule]

“A star is born”

I heard that and laughed out loud. It's Illinois defense not a star being born.

Can someone direct me to the Coaching Carousel page?

 

[Michael Myers]

This is why Lovie needs to go. We are just undisciplined. Three stupid penalties that have hurt us

I agree with you, but laugh at the thought that THIS is the reason.

If THIS stands for player growth, continuity on the field, coach staff decisions, game-planning, in game recognition, half-time/real-time adjustments, clock management, defensive creativity or offensive ANYTHING ... then I agree even more.

There's not a big enough THIS to encompass Lovie's game prep or game time shortcomings.

You're being kind.

If Lovie is our coach next year I’m canceling my 20 years of season tickets

 

[CurbeloYourEnthusiasm]

Barker hands are going to keep him out of the NFL

 

[Gregjacksonfan]

Feel like I’m watching the Bears on offense

 

[altenberger22]

Nice to run 24 seconds off the clock --- in order to give our overworked/undermanned defense a little rest on the sideline.

 

[thehass]

Lets hope our basketball team is not watching this.

 

[altenberger22]

Basketball starting lineups released yet?

 

[CurbeloYourEnthusiasm]

We got a 5 star tight end playing behind Barker. Maybe those drops will get Ford in the game. Let’s see what he can do

 

[Illini-Rule]

Why is Peter's still in the game? He's gotten us a whopping 3 points.

 

[MaineIllini]

Illinois fired Gary Moeller after 3 seasons when it was apparent the team was non-competitive and not progressing. Illinois defeated Northwestern to end the season in Moeller’s final game as the Illini head coach.

Well, THIS could be an acronym for Total History Involving Smith

 

[altenberger22]

Things could actually be worse. I just walked outside in the 65 degree temps to grab the mail. As I walk back in, they're showing an ILLINI couple sitting side-by-side (alone) in the stands, dressed in orange/blue ---- with sleet/snow building on their face coverings.

 

[Oskeefan]

wow, load the box and untouched up the middle, embarrassing

 

[Marshall_Lucky]

This is even more pathetic than last year. Honestly this is a summation of the smith era. Uncompetitive in all but maybe 1 or 2 games a year.
