The emotional roller coaster of an Illini fan. You don't have to wait from one game to the next, you can just go from one play to the next. :(

Now we are close enough maybe the defense can get a score.

I wish we actually had guts and would go for it. At this point in time in the season, why not go for it?

I do not understand the play calling right now. Killing them on the ground that drive, do not overthink it! 2nd&2 just run it twice.

One of my real pet peeves is how these announcers make it seem like having the wind howling in your face is a disadvantage but having it at your back is somehow an advantage.

I understand it's an advantage on special teams but how is it an advantage to have your passes sail long rather than fall short. Not knowing where the ball is going when you throw it isn't an advantage no matter where the wind is blowing. </rant>

Wes Lunt needs to make a dang play. Getting awfully old hearing "Lunt would like that one back" on almost every throw.

On the bright side, we're only down 7 @ the half.

At least the Wes Lunt era ends in a game and a half.

Well that was an old school B1G half of football...

AKA it was boring as hell.

Why do I get the feeling that we are playing not to win?

Can they talk a little bit more about the wind? That's really what I want to hear about. That and golf.

Ugh it's not calculus... run game is working... pass game is not... so why are we passing?

In all fairness, nothing is working on offense. Have you seen how many times Foster has been stuffed?
