Game Thread: Illinois vs Western Michigan

[AutoPoster 3000]

We have more penalty yards than rushing yards. But that stat is not as bad as it sounds, since we have negative rushing yards.

 

[Retro62]

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.

Just trying to provide a little levity. Believe it or not, I am still hopeful.

Unforced stupid penalties are killing us. Not a result of WMU team speed, we are beating ourselves.

 

[dgcrow]

Turned it off. See you guys next week.

I absolutely guarantee that the Illini will not lose next week! :thumb:

I can see Lovie bolting for the NFL next year. What an embarrassment. Getting your arse handed to you in your own house.

Just a ridiculous amount of penalties

That falls on the coaching staff.

 

[Retro62]

Okay!

I don't know, maybe. But if it's not a HC job, it seems unlikely. I would like to see what happens if recruiting picks up.

Can we get one of those SoClean machines for our football team??

I doubt we'll see that the way his contract is structured.

No matter how the rest of the season plays out, Lovie and rest of the staff are huge upgrades over what we had going for us. Expectations maybe got a little out of control for this year with all the excitement.

 

[SuperMetroid]

Let's go!!!!

 

[Retro62]

Woohoo! Nice!

 

[JDHalfrack]

Now THAT was a fancy Dan!!

 

[Idkhti37]

FINALLLY...some creativity! Nice job fellas!

 

[IlliniLuvE]

Beautiful play!

 

[Illin1]

That was sweet. Now if our D can keep WM off the scoreboard we could get back into this game.

 

[AutoPoster 3000]

Nice fumble!

 

[t7nich]

Was wondering how long it would be before we saw something like that. Very well done!

 

[Retro62]

We hold them and get another score, even a field goal, and we will have bounced back from a seeming disaster very well.

 

[t7nich]

Nice fumble!

[The Galloping Ghost 77]

Great trick play.

 

[unimaroon]

Guess I'm glad I won't be watching. Sounds pathetic so far.

 

[Retro62]

Wow! What's going on with Bama? Is Kiffin trying to get back at Nick for screaming at him like a drill sergeant?

 

[Idkhti37]

Just getting shredded...no excuses.
