Game Thread: Illinois at Purdue

If we’re bad enough this year do we get to draft Caleb Williams?

Unfortunately I think the Bears have the inside track on that.

The question in the off-season was would this team break the streak of following a good season with 5-7? I think they will but not in the way we thought..

If Williams is smart he'll request a trade.

 

[Illini-Rule]

Oh boy, good field position for Purdont.

 

[Nuffievanhaven]

I think Feagan needs to start next game.

Yes please

 

[Illini-Rule]

Good move coach, they'll have another score soon.

 

[Mr. Tibbs]

in the words of carlos zambrano
we stinks

Alright, this game's basically over. I'll keep the radio call on for now but I'm gonna switch my TV over to the only college or pro football team I follow that has a winning record at this point.

Luke wasn't the issue. The O Line struggles protecting him. He isn't the problem. Luke is dealing with issue Devito didn't have to on a regular basis.

Nope he will be back at USC name the last good Bears qb

And all we did on that play was hurt Altmyer even more.

One of the signatures of a poorly coached team is always following up something good with something inept.

 

[Illini-Rule]

Our defense is a sieve...

 

[Mr. Tibbs]

in the words of carlos zambrano

we are 4-8 or maybe 5-7
at best

Erik Kramer?

Walker Texas Ranger being on Peacock now isn't enough for many of you to keep subscribing I guess.

Works beautifully on my iPad Pro but is absolutely miserable on Roku.

We’re all very disappointed in what we’re seeing but I do have faith in Bret. Rebuilding Illinois, like life, is not a straightline upward trajectory. Obviously this year is a step back.

My faith is crumbling.

 

[IlliniFaninHoosierLand]

Martin O'Donnell's weekend not getting any better. Just said on radio he's going to Bears game vs. Broncos tomorrow.

 

[Nikethreadguysm]

I still have full faith in Bret. He’s the man to turn this around.

But he’s gotta get rid of his coordinators. They’re both hell. Throw every damn thing you have at Leonhard to step in.

 

[Coop70]

Think ill develop a 12 step program for paranoid schizophrenic delusional Illinois fans. First step is admitting you have a problem. Suggestions for step 2?

 

[Marshall_Lucky]

This wasn't a must win, but this second half has been a disaster

 

[Illini-Rule]

I've been following the Illini for 60 years. I should have known better than to buy into the hype this year. There isn't enough whiskey in my house to dull the pain.

Hmmmm. Not sure about that, but like the optimism.

Bret needs to win at least 6 to keep recruiting momentum. Hard to see that happening after today.

The trajectory of this year’s team was really important to build momentum. It is all lost right now
