Game Thread: Illinois vs Mississippi State

[illinigiant80]

Hey guys....we get to watch IW again next year........

I see what you did there. Hopefully it’s in orange and blue!

Just part of ESPN graphics.

Looks to me like they are painting the helmets (aggressively and yes with showy graphics).

There are definitely more Illini fans here than Mississippi State fans.

I don’t want to say “by a wide margin“, but it feels it’s by a wide margin.

I assume you're surrounded by Illini fans?

Touchdown. Thank god. I need less cowbell.

Robert deserves this.

Lets wear down their D. We get the ball first in the 2nd half. Lets finish off the half with another stern defensive stand.

Oh I see it now. Thanks

WAY TO GO ILLINI !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!...........................TDV WITH THE TD !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[BZuppke]

Let’s get a pick six now.

 

[Illiniam1984]

TDV is going to be missed. B1G approves the waiver but the NCAA denies it.

Only ESPN would spend 25 seconds showing a Washington State flag during a bowl game between Illinois and Miss St.

Clowns.

Yeah, but we got a good one in Altmyer and given the time Lunney has to work with him I like where we are headed

Are you really that ignorant of why they would show it?

 

[BDMAN]

I thought the MSU wide receiver was out sooner more of 15 yd gain than 25?

Lol...I am

Forgive me for not being completely tuned in to Mike Leach's full history.

 

[TheChief4Life]

That’s MSU’s side. Ours is definitely fuller. I’m above it, though, so I can’t get a good picture. But here is the upper deck of ours:

 

[Bbuck21]

This is very interesting defensive coaching preparation and decision to bascially rush only 3 and go full coverage. I hope it keeps working

 

[illiram11]

For the first time this season, I feel like the officiating crew is actually doing a good job. We haven't gotten any bad calls.

 

[IlliniFaninHoosierLand]

Lol...I am

Leach coached at Wazzu before arriving at Mississippi State. Helped bring Gameday to Pullman too.

???

You are aware that Mike Leach coached there for a number of years? Plus that flag goes everywhere, see College Gameday.

Count me among the ignorant.

Edit: OK, I see the answer now. Thanks.

Lol...I am

A guy spent years going to College Gameday with a Washington State flag to get them to go to Pullman. They finally did, but he still keeps going to keep the tradition alive.

They had ads about it all during college football season

Edit: Hadn't realized Leach coached there. All the more reason to show it
