Game Thread: Illinois at Virginia

[Mr. Roberts]

is anyone watch the OSU game? I'm glad we don't play them this year... that would be a physically dangerous game for us? We really need the weight room.. We just look smaller.

I really can't stand watching the semi-pro teams any more. College football is now a 6 team tier of semi-pro and everyone else - I've seen those teams enough (tOSU, Alabama, Clemson, Oklahoma, Oregon and ND). I don't even watch the playoff (which, by rule, always includes at least 3 of those 6).

Well we’re still getting the same dumbass penalties we had with Lovie

And Beckman. And Zook.

Might just be my system, but the feed for this game keeps going out for a second or two. I'm going to call the ACC Network and demand longer dropouts.

Same here, Direct TV Stream.

Honestly it's like our corner see the deep ball and just back off to let their receiver catch it

 

[LFOD]

It’s possible that we have a decent football team, but VA and UTSA will face off in the NCG.

 

[SuperintendentChalmers]

504 yards given up through three quarters.

Next year was supposed to be the bad one that’s what makes this scary

Unfortunately Illinois is in some type of third or fourth tier.

That penalty was a horrible call and absolute garbage. Brown was tackled late out of bounds and pushed down on, said something (no contact) and got the unsportsmanlike? Absolutely terrible call

 

[Illiniaaron]

This is a complete implosion.

 

[thehass]

They have made some really good throws today regardless of our secondary. Good hands too.

Agreed, ridiculous call, no matter what he said.

I see you're doing 420 also

How many times have you heard “they always catch the second guy”

 

[illini80]

23 super seniors. Difficult to imagine how bad we would have been without them.

I remember when we laughed at the over/under Vegas line on wins. I’m glad I don’t bet.

 

[LFOD]

That was weird, but I’ll take it.

Change super seniors to returning seniors
Jmho

Usually the second guy does something worth calling

You know maybe purging all the lovie era will at least be a step forward. Probably won't win many next year but maybe get some of these horrible habits out

Well we were fortunate on that play. A whole bunch of our guys should have had him down, but of course they missed the tackle, prior to that fumble.

 

[skyIdub]

I stand corrected...

'Come on, tackle!!!'

'good job fumble!!!!!'

 

[BWBW]

Perhaps we can save face?
