Game Thread: Illinois vs Purdue

[illinidarrin]

At least we held em to a field goal, but holy hell is this awful.

honestly, our offense is so bad today that we can't afford to give up 3 points. It's a 2 possession game again.

 

[OB positive]

Resetich is lucky that ball got tipped. Second time today. It always looks like he is there to make the play but it hasn't happened yet. Its like he's not aware of what is about to happen.

Finally a Saturday when I can watch a game live and this is what we get?!! Sure feels like lllini games of old.

I've had a really bad day due to family issues and just wanted to sit, drink, and watch football. Two out of three ain't bad, I guess.

 

[bleedorange and blue]

Play like this and there are only loses ahead. I just can't get past year 6,damn. What now bret?

 

[ChiTown]

I know Tank is a good S & C coach, but damn we seem weak to everyone else. To go along with being slow.

You can only do so much with what you have….can’t perform any miracle…just hoping to get the best you can out of them.

 

[Illini-Rule]

We score 19 against Ohio State, but can't manage more than 7 against this pathetic Purdont D. I'm starting to think the coaching staff has lost this team.

Sit, drink, and turn off the TV.

Purdue will need to turn the ball over to lose this game. Up 2 scores and only 1.5 quarters left

 

[Mr. Roberts]

TD or die.

 

[Kendall Gill’s Uncle]

I’ve loved how Bielema started to build the program, but the decision to switch to this defense was stupid. It’s halting any momentum the program had.

Frankly, I don’t know if we have the talent to be an average defense, but this definitely isn’t helping.

 

[Det_Illini_fan]

To play this terribly against a rival is beyond me. We are playing with no heart at all. It’s a culture problem too that we now need to answer for.

 

[Illinois_2_AZ]

Other than the fact that we can't tackle, cover, or rush the QB, I think our D looks improved today.

 

[Da88]

This feels like a very important time in Bielema's tenure. They have to figure this out quick.

 

[Illiniguy74]

Including Bret?

 

[D1959]

Teams are going to start leaving their punters at home against us.

 

[IlliniKat91]

The lack of quickness and athleticism is depressing.

I'm a pudgy 39 year old who twisted her ankle falling down the stairs this morning. I feel like I could out perform at least 25% of our roster right now

Bret is safe.

 

[WWWWRocU]

No Barnett sighting yet. Cruel ( to the fans).

I picked the right day to drink early

I went and bought my 2nd vodka drink right about here. I NEVER drink during the game!

You sound well qualified for our LB position, I’ll get with whoever our DC is this week and get you some reps in the 4th quarter.

 

[BWBW]

We got something going.

They really need to make the field goal posts taller or install some type of laser system so that it's clear if it was good or if it missed. This has been a problem in every league in football for a looooong time.

Sit, drink, and turn off the TV.

Or watch Three Stooges as I am doing now.

Hope you are ok.
