Game Thread: Illinois vs Mississippi State

[IlliniFaninHoosierLand]

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.

This is blasphemy on this board. One must constantly complain about poor officiating that goes against Illini.

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:

How about walking over to their side at the half and taking a picture of our side? Please?

Rats.

I’ll do my best! The stadium here isn’t actually connected very well, so because I’m in the upper deck, I have to walk all the way down and then around.

Feel like that was a break from MSU. The whole point of the underneath route on 3rd down was to set them up to go for it, then they just kicked anyway.

7-3 halftime. What was the U/O?

 

[GoodePodzMelendez]

He was down with 2 seconds!!!

 

[Mr. Roberts]

Good half. Offense needs to pick up where they left off. More Josh please. And more Williams.

Should be 1 second on the clock. Love the BB challenge.

 

[LFOD]

Great first half. Much better on defense than I expected. Henry is off to a good start!

 

[TheChief4Life]

Love this challenge!

I’d love it even more if Brett Bielema then comes out and just kneels…

 

[trtl]

On several occasions the clock has run when the refs whistled the clock to stop

 

[Illini_1979]

Hail Mary.

 

[Illinivek23]

Ref thought he was out of bounds?

 

[KingWolf11]

What in the world

 

[GoodePodzMelendez]

Love this challenge!

What the heck was that? Throw the ball!!!!!

I don't watch ESPN unless there is a specific game on that I can only watch there.

I've watched maybe 1 College Gameday in the last forever years.

So everybody tap the brakes on the Wasu/Mike Leach/College Gameday trivia.

7-3 halftime. What was the U/O?

46.5

 

[Illini_1979]

Well, at least we got a few more rushing yards for Love.

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

Thanks! This should have been your first reply.

So ESPN can figure out how to mute Bielema's microphone during his halftime interview, but can't work on muting the noise from the cowbells.

 

[EyeoftheIllini]

Love IW. And love that we are making him our go to guy today. Hope this is a prelude to how we give him the ball next season

Yeah, with Chase opting out, IW figured to be featured. But I do get the feeling they want to be able to say to him “there will be a lot more of that next year.”

This awful announcer during the challenge, saying we are setting up the Hail Mary because Will Rogers has a good arm…
