Game Thread: Illinois vs Nebraska

[CDRUSN]

Bret summoning his OC and DC for a strategy session on turning this game around in the second half.

I'm raising a glass to Barry somehow just blacking out and calling a magnificent second half.

Better get a case of glasses

This Illini drive feels like a must score. Please football lord, let us achieve a touchdown.

Dear god, we are cursed….

 

[Illiniam1984]

Cmon Lunney! Call a play down the field.

 

[TheChief4Life]

Sigh…

Well, the Cubs and Bears fans will understand this . . .

There’s always next year.

The Cubs probably aren't a great comp because they've won something in the last decade. In any event.... we're not very good.

 

[Pikeillinifan]

Well, that’s that.

 

[JimILL75]

Just when you think it can't get any worse.

 

[Coop70]

Now that's an illinois play!

I stayed in the dorm doing other things during the 1997 season, but that seems very 1997 Illini

 

[Neidermeyer]

WE ARE BAD!!! OMG! Putting with the Dean's daughter.

 

[BWBW]

So , another turnover

I just don’t get how we can be so bad. Nebraska is not good. They have a 2nd string QB and 2 running backs out. Yet they are making our defense look unprepared and less talented than we are. Fundamentally we are as unsound as we were when Bret got here. What happened?

 

[Birdus]

That could be the game.

 

[Second place is 1st loser]

The turnovers and miscues and where on the field that they've occurred....not great.

 

[ILLFAN67]

This team doesn’t make the plays it should and turns it over. Last yrs team would have 2 picks already and caused a fumble somewhere.

 

[Illini in Italy]

I swore I would never enter the game thread, but here I am.

This is Illini football. It can always get worse.

Somehow everything is unraveling

 

[CDRUSN]

I think we hit rock bottom fans. No wait! Hold my beer and grab your shovels.

 

[cuillini]

So we end the season 3-9. We spend the off season hearing how we were young, have great transfers coming in, etc. same ol, same ol....Tired of this terrible football.

yep. That's for sure.
