Game Thread: Illinois at Wisconsin

[FloridaMan]

I remember after the Indiana game Bielema said he had never been a part of something like that. He can probably say the same thing tonight.

He runs the program. It is incumbent on him to fix that

 

[JKR]

We haven't held the edge all night.

 

[Jack1378.1]

Playing like this if continued next week they will lose to Northwestern

1. This is revisionist history. If we win 50% of 50-50 games last year we still end up with 8 wins.

2. We had zero games last season where we looked this bad. Zero.

Did you watch the Purdue game last season

He is the man at the top. Time for some self reflection.

Red teams seem to cause us problems

Cricket Celebration Bowl, here we come.

My point is we won all the 50/50 games. We lose em all we are a 6 win team in regular season. I was only talking about regular season. We could have been anywhere from 6 to 9 wins based on the tight games and ended on 9.

And u are right. Tonight is a disaster. Tbh my Illini sense told me this was coming from a mile away. It’s so Illinois and seems to transcend generations.

 

[Krombopulos_Michael]

So do we still have the financial commitment after what is the 3rd embarrassing loss this year (not counting OSU as we all expected it)

 

[Illiniam1984]

Unacceptable…

 

[zentrails]

Copium, but maybe this game forces change where it’s needed

Our AD will do something, I'm sure

 

[WhereDoWeStandWithStorr?]

Priestly's been terrible all year.

 

[BZuppke]

I saw Luke was off from the opening drive. The fact that Lunney is wearing a stocking cap is all you need to know.

 

[Illiniaaron]

Playing like this if continued next week they will lose to Northwestern

That game is a toss-up

 

[IllianaOne]

Not feeling great about next week either.

 

[Oskeefan]

tonight was a pathetic effort, but the Indinia game was even worse, complete humiliation.

 

[chief]

tip of the cap to the Badgers, they were definitely the better team tonight, completely dominated the line of scrimmage

 

[Orangeandblue72]

So frustrated. Will be a very long time that our talent and schedule line up like they did this year. Under performed. What’s crazy is this is not a bad year relative to what we are use to.

 

[tcb13]

Our AD will do something, I'm sure

This game SUCKED, but I am soooo glad we're in a spot where at 7-4 we feel heads should roll!

Sharks with blood in the water.

 

[the juiceman cometh]

Did you watch the Purdue game last season

Yes. This is way worse.

 

[thehass]

Illinois is poorly coached football team and that’s on Bret Bielema. Sign of poorly coached football team is they haven’t improved. Same Team from the Indiana game .

Pains me to say I agree. Hope loyalty doesn't get in the way of making corrected decisions. Otherwise, we're in for more of the same.

 

[Miles Leonard]

Well Priestly at least decided to go home early

He probably should have stayed home to begin with. Would have made the same impact sitting at home on his couch.

 

[tcb13]

Yes. This is way worse.
