Game Thread: Illinois vs Western Michigan

[KBLEE]

Hmmm. I'm no referee, but I've never seen a fumble fly out of a QB's forward moving hand and land ten yards upfield.

Unbelievably pathetic call.

 

[IlliniMed]

Kinda funny... you can find all the calls that have gone against us on every team...but it seems like we get the brunt of the "right calls" against us lol

 

[Retro62]

We won the coin flip. Baby steps.

 

[BirdDog9048]

new quarterback, please

Why? He's been our only good player in the whole game...

 

[Ransom Stoddard]

the flex hose commercial was more interesting that this game.

 

[The Galloping Ghost 77]

Gonna be a long season..

 

[JDHalfrack]

Can someone explain why that wasn't a pass?

It was.

Every replay in the stadium showed it as such.

Annnnddd... I'm done. Maybe next year.

 

[Idkhti37]

I don't care. We have too many seniors on this team/defense to get run over by Western FREAKING Michigan at home.

Talent level or no...play like you have some FREAKING pride.

 

[GallopingGhost]

Can't subject myself to this for another 3 quarters. Following this game any more would be masochism.

Terrell fumbles the ball three yards for the TD.

I thought so too. I'm going to get one.

 

[Ramrod2010]

I'm surprised there are still so many people there.

 

[AutoPoster 3000]

Lunt with the 12 yard fumble for the first down.

 

[BexleyIllini]

How much did this game cost us?

 

[JDHalfrack]

I'm surprised there are still so many people there.

Well, what else are we gonna do? It's a nice afternoon and it's a one and a half hour drive back to Springfield...

Plus, maybe this will surpass that PSU assbeating quite a few years ago as worse game I've ever attended.

 

[Retro62]

I know Lunt can throw the ball, but maybe we should try to mix it up here. This is just awful.

 

[Illin1]

Still a long ways to go.

Apparently you haven't been watching the offensive line... Blocking is non-existent.

 

[Retro62]

Still a long ways to go.

That comment can be taken a couple of ways.

 

[Idkhti37]

Not upset that we haven't scored...infuriated that we've given up 21 so far. NO excuse for that awful D.

 

[JDHalfrack]

Still a long ways to go.

Good point. Maybe WMU cam put up 50 more points and set a record.

 

[Retro62]

Agreed, I'm not suggesting pulling Lunt out completely, just mixing it up a bit, even for one series. However, I admit I am just trying to find something to be enthused about.

 

[Illin1]

That comment can be taken a couple of ways.

As it was intended.

I'm doubtful we can make a comeback, but even if we do that doesn't excuse the poor execution. Our lack of talent and heart also leaves a lot to be desired.

 

[SuperMetroid]

Just a ridiculous amount of penalties
