yea, but pretty sure only 3 of those qb's are on scholly : Altmeyer, Leary and Swanson ,I have not been to see many high major football practices but it is a bit mind blowing to see y6 QBs line up to take snaps together. Nice to have that depth in the QB room and I truly hope it provides us at least one fine QB for each of several seasons to come.
The last few seconds reminded me of something the Savanah Bananas would do in a baseball game (synchronized pitching).
John Paddock may be a walk-on, but not your typical walk-on.yea, but pretty sure only 3 of those qb's are on scholly : Altmeyer, Leary and Swanson ,
The others are PWO's, and that doesnt mean they aren't good, it just is what it is .
"He's an ELITE walk-on."John Paddock may be a walk-on, but not your typical walk-on.
Man, that’s a lot of negativity to former players, mostly ones that transferred out. Gees.another stroll down memory lane, but some insight on this season's team:
It's way too all over the place for me.Man, that’s a lot of negativity to former players, mostly ones that transferred out. Gees.
There's no way Paddock starts over a healthy Altmyer. Wisconsin, Purdue, and Iowa are all starting 4 star talent QBs that went to blue bloods as recruits. It's going to be a long season if we start the guy with the lower ceilinganother stroll down memory lane, but some insight on this season's team:
I don't mind his style at all. Conversational. Enjoy his reminiscences. Like sitting with a buddy at a bar.It's way too all over the place for me.
Probably because we've seen all those guys mentioned play!I don't mind his style at all. Conversational. Enjoy his reminiscences. Like sitting with a buddy at a bar.
I thought that read was fabulous. The kind of stuff you get to be around when you are with the program. I really enjoyed all of it.I don't mind his style at all. Conversational. Enjoy his reminiscences. Like sitting with a buddy at a bar.
As did I. Some of that was brutal honesty, which you don't typically see.I thought that read was fabulous. The kind of stuff you get to be around when you are with the program. I really enjoyed all of it.
So happy for you bro........Seems like good times are in your future..........LETS GO ILLINI !!!!!!!!!!!!Just got three season tickets. I've going to have a freshman at U of I next year and so excited for him. After all the years of going to games as a student and then as an alum and then as a dad with young kids, now I get to go down and watch the Illini and visit my kid as a student. Pinch me! It's like a dream come true. Absolutely can not wait. And the ticket prices, great bargain, would highly encourage anyone on the fence to jump in.
After having season tickets for 35 years, my husband said he was tired of paying so much to get frustrated and disappointed watching crappy football so we stopped in 2017. Instead, we just bought single game tix and went to a few games a season with our crew. We decided this past week to give it another shot, and we bought four season tix with our best friends. We’re hopefully optimistic that Bielema will make it worth it.Just got three season tickets. I've going to have a freshman at U of I next year and so excited for him.

Saw the beloved play against Marino many years ago, and I think he threw 3 or 4 interceptions and we were in it until the end. I walked to the parking lot saying he would never play in the NFL. Wow, was I wrong. Between my dad, RIP, and myself we have 52 years of season tickets between us. Go Illini!!I want to hear that Altmyer is at spring practice throwing the ball like Dan Marino!
