Game Thread: Illinois vs Northwestern

[Ryllini]

Illinois has a little momentum going again.

 

[HailtotheChief]

Great d. That pass was on the money and maybe should a been caught

 

[TheFlyingIllini1317]

So result to name calling. Nice. Contract are contracts. This kind of bs has ruined bowl games. Why even have them. Last years Illinis bowl game is a good example.

sorry I'm upset over this game, I apologize

 

[LFOD]

Well, we definitely deserve to lose this game. Only Johnny can save us from the Illini hating deities.

 

[superfan]

Newton is leaving everything on the field tonight that’s for sure

 

[aaeismacgychel]

Newton again. Unbelievable. Him and Washington deserve this win

 

[CDRUSN]

This game is a real orphan. It looks like no one wants to bring it home.

Scholarships are literally not contracts.

 

[FlotownIllini]

Ugh, of course he sneaks one in

 

[aaeismacgychel]

Oh man, I thought that was short

 

[dbeverly26]

Man, coulda used one more block from Johnny for old times' sake.

 

[dsg]

Sure would be handy to have that extra point now.

 

[TheChief4Life]

NW toying with us now on kickoffs.

 

[Illini John]

I wish we kicked the extra pt on the last TD

So does Brett Bielema.

 

[TheFlyingIllini1317]

jacas held on 3rd down, big no call would of had them out of range

 

[LFOD]

I thought I told em no more fielding kicks…

 

[aaeismacgychel]

Ok. Just need another final 4 minute touchdown drive. Nobody better than us at them

 

[TheChief4Life]

Everyone complaining about the two point conversion/one point, you do realize that was the right call at that time, right?

 

[illinidarrin]

So, we have to get a TD and a 2-point conversion. we may get a TD and probably miss the 2. Did i get that right?

 

[PopChampaign]

Lol almost another TO

 

[SuperMetroid]

Stupid thing clears it by 6 inches

 

[NASchamp]

I’m sorry but it’s pretty embarrassing to lose to Northwestern with this team….

 

[FlotownIllini]

I've always had trouble finding the "hatred" for Northwestern and viewing them as a true rival. This game is doing a lot to help move that needle.

 

[JFGsCoffeeMug]

More than half of their points have been scored off of turnovers.

It's the right thing to do with a normal team
