[QUOTE="ChiefGritty, post: 1668193, member: 746137"] The thing that irked me personally about Bielema's comments was not just the whiplash from bringing all the super seniors back and doing our best to be as good as we can to the language of tanking and years of meaninglessness, but because this is so clearly not that kind of team! We've been right in these games, and goodness knows that's a different Year 1 experience than we're used to. So it's so encouraging to see us still grinding for every inch out there. The culture that builds will be far, far more valuable than giving unearned reps to lesser freshmen out of some galaxy brained idea of the future. Proud day to be an Illini, our kids fought down to the edges of their fingernails in that game. Just keep chopping that wood. [/QUOTE]
