Game Thread: Illinois vs Tennessee

[Ramrod2010]

Did we ever get word on Laughery being injured in the middle part of the year?

I feel like I remember him being not used for several games.

IT'S AFTER THE WHISTLE CLOWNS!!!!! Who are these announcers?

Yeah I don't know what these announcers are thinking. Play is blown dead due to forward progress. You can't just suplex someone 5 seconds after the whistle.

 

[pruman91]

guess I missed the news about Olano leaving......why is he leaving ?

 

[Mr. Tibbs]

am i the only one still surprised at the 2:00 warning in the college game in the first half ?

 

[Illini-Rule]

And cue the announcers saying it should not be a penalty

SEC-ESPN

 

[skyIdub]

We look so f’ing classy in the navy with script.

 

[DeeIL89]

ESPN announcers being trash? Shocker.

 

[TheFlyingIllini1317]

Laughery loves these bowl games. He's got some juice today, so good when he's healthy. Also, the announcers didn't realize it wasn't late hit ob it was 4 seconds after the whistle.

 

[Chief Illiniwek's Family]

Announcers are terrible, very pro Tennessee. Really difficult to listen to their garbage

 

[FloridaMan]

guess I missed the news about Olano leaving......why is he leaving ?

Just rumors at this point. Hope they end up being wrong.

 

[Ramrod2010]

Been suggested (in the recruiting thread) that Texas A&M is bringing the bag for him.

 

[zentrails]

How exactly are they outplaying up? Seems almost like mirror image teams out there...

They are running better and controlling the clock although Aiden might be changing that

Edit and Correction: I guess we're doing better controlling the clock than I thought, evenly played game so far then, so you are correct

 

[TentakilRex]

Late to the show andI get to watch a little bit!

Tell me how to feel. Preferably in the form of a haiku

Been audio only for most of the game

The wind is crazy
Gone for it on fourth down twice, failed
They missed a field goal

 

[DeonThomas]

Meh.
- The score sorta says it all; looks like two mediocre teams playing without some of their stars
- TN pressure is affecting us a bit
- We've been stopped twice on 4th down and 5 or 6 to go
- Our D-line is playing better than expected
- Guess we should feel pretty good that TN hasn't scored more than they have

 

[BWBW]

Leading by a TD at the half will be nice.

 

[illinibbcz]

For the person saying they are outplaying us, we are beating them in every offense stat so far.

Our defense okay
Offense sharp but no big plays
False starts up the !!!

 

[IlliniFaninHoosierLand]

Ya know, you do have the option to not listen to them and listen to the radio call. Just sayin'.

 

[CDRUSN]

Tough luck Ut. We got the benefit of that sideline call. Both Valentine and Laughery running angry, helping to set up the pass game. Feagin a no show so far, maybe because he is often more tentative than our other 2 backs, despite his size and power. Luke is a man on a mission.

 

[Mr. Tibbs]

insane

 

[Alma 19]

For the person saying they are outplaying us, we are beating them in every offense stat so far.

And therefore every defensive stat

 

[Homecoming 2019]

Crazy that wasnt a penalty but earlier was

 

[LFOD]

Laughery came to play!

 

[TentakilRex]

WWE vs WCW out there

 

[skyIdub]

ESPN SEC announcers bias?
