Game Thread: Illinois vs Northwestern

[BWBW]

A Northwestern touchdown is unacceptable

Have a nice day everyone. See you Monday for the basketball game.

I don’t understand this...

Is this really a matter of injuries, or are we as bad as we look and got lucky three times this year?

 

[Ramrod2010]

Just the worst. I liked it better when my Saturdays weren't being ruined by bad Illinois football.

 

[sinmyp]

Why. Why. WTF did we do that cause Karma to hate us so. Nothing is making any sense. What is going on. I am so confused and angry, thia should not be happening

 

[FeelYourPaign]

Aren't we allowed to start playing at the same time as our opponent? Why do we always spot them 10-20?

Ballgame.

And it’s sad that we feel that way being down two scores. I felt better about our chances being down against Wisconsin and MSU and Iowa. This is crazy.

This Northwestern team is 2-9.

Defense disappointing today. Rod should donate his salary for today's game.

 

[KevinC]

Northwestern can throw the ball and we can't? Also, the analyst on the FS1 game is an idiot.

We were playing with a deck of cards that was a bit more full then.

Playing us like a 9-2 team.

 

[SuperMetroid]

They average about 10 points a game in Big Ten games and are starting their 4th-string QB. :frustrated:

Illinois...back?!

This is the team that started the season, except with a much worse quarter and a bunch of the players worth watching are out.

 

[Deleted member 652352]

We're going to need a defensive touchdown or two to have a chance here.

 

[AutoPoster 3000]

So ... I'm not getting to watch us in person in the Pinstripe Bowl in my hometown?

That's quite a buzzkill.

I think it’s a marginal team that can look like world beaters one half and a pop warner team the next. Just no margin for error. This week it’s pop warner and they’ll likely give up at this point. It’s cold and wet, nobody’s in the stands and they’re getting run out of the stadium.

I think the NW QB is what the Illini staff thinks Matt Robsinon is.

 

[JFGsCoffeeMug]

Unacceptable.

The title of this season’s 30 for 30.

Combination of both probably.

Where’s Daniel Barker been?

The OL is not playing well at all. All they are doing is leaning and getting beat!
