Game Thread: Illinois vs Kent State

[Illini-Rule]

this is a one win team, unfortunately. I also bought in at 4 wins.

We play like this against WIU and we will be 0-fer

 

[Illini-Rule]

I thought our defense was supposed to be better this year?

 

[BWBW]

They have an offense. We don't.

 

[Ol Dirty Gamer]

Might as well give KenSta the TD. They’re going to score anyways.

Good call, guy.

 

[Chef Illini]

Welp. That's enough football for me today. I'll check in next week

 

[TeamWilliams]

Isn't Kent State running a new system with a new head coach? They look so much more polished than Illinois.

New coaches seemingly can do well their first year except at Illinois. That's an NCAA rule I think

 

[FeelTheLovie]

This is a D2 roster

 

[PerennIaLL]

Stop it

I wish I could. Not looking good.

Everything I read about the Illini from reporters and Illini people were amazing.

“Not this year, but watch out”
“We’re gonna surprise some people”
Etc
Etc
Etc


This is the first time I am seeing them this year. What were they doing in practice that they aren’t doing now? This looks like a s*%# show.

Well they are surprising some people.

 

[Megamind]

Lovie can

The guys that are out today/indefinitely suspended are really costing this team

Lovie can ride his high horse right to the unimployment line.

I read an article about these secret defensive moves Illinois was gonna do, but he didn’t want to write them in case if someone from one of our oppoenets saw his article.

Whew. Glad he kept the secrets.

 

[AutoPoster 3000]

Wow. Based on this half we’re arguably the worst team in the FBS. Not the power 5 (that’s a given). The FBS. Reminder: Kent St. is generally predicted to finish dead last in the MAC east.


Let’s just pray this happens to be our worst half of the year and not representative of the rest of the season. Pray hard.

 

[GoIllini23]

Unless they make serious half time adjustments...not sure our offense can catch up

 

[Jon]

Welp we tried our best. Can't win'em all. But we sure can lose them all.

 

[StateFarmCenter]

Bad call I think but whatever they should have had a td before

 

[FeelYourPaign]

Maybe now that we're the underdog we can perform?

 

[TheInsider]

We are an awful football team. This kind of loss gets all those commits shaking their heads.

 

[Ol Dirty Gamer]

Loser of this game gets demoted to the MAC conference forever.

 

[BWBW]

Pray hard.

I am trying not to have a heart attack.

 

[Deleted member 29907]

no energy on this team - we need people to step up. the entire team needs an old school but kicking during halftime

 

[TeamWilliams]

So if we lose today, will that be our lowest point since...?

 

[TownieMatt]

So we're the worst P5 team in America huh? That's disappointing.

 

[MadSeason]

Kent St. looks faster than us. Which is really really depressing

 

[TheInsider]

Loser of this game gets demoted to the MAC conference forever.

Thank God there is no relegation in college football. Or maybe that would help us get our heads out of our asses

 

[winorlosewestillbooze]

Lol this is so bad, I didn’t think we’d be worse than last year but holy hell.
