Especially with a good Cabernet.I thought that ILL would lose.
I am enjoying a meal of boiled crow with no salt, pepper or spices. It tastes very excellent.
Well where would we have been without our transfers today or when we went to our last Rose Bowls? You are incorrect. Every team takes transfers or a good Juco now days! The QBs at LSU, Michigan, and Okla 2 of the last three and one won the Heisman. We would not have won today without them.That is an absolutely terrible strategy, horrible but I won’t let it dampen today’s win.
I'm right there with you. The win @ #1 Ohio State was a shocker, but we were legitimately good.Honestly might be the single most surprising outcome of my entire Illini fandom
I though locks were for the recruiting threads... I-L-LDropped by to post this in the coaching carousel thread but someone literally beat me to it.

I was in the stands. As soon as I realized what had happened, those were the first words out of my mouthUnbelievable! That saved Lovies job.
Who isn't going to lose 27 players over the next two years? Are you saying that most college programs don't have a total of 27 Juniors or Seniors on the roster? Is this what Freshman and Sophomores are for?1- You only had 2 real transfers contribute today, so there goes that.
2-You’re about to lose 27 players over the next two years. That’s not a typo.
3- We’re all going wild right now and we’re still 3-4...for a reason. We are well behind the eight ball when it comes to high end HS talent. Adding more short term players does nothing to build this program. Nothing. It puts us in the same holding pattern we’ve been in for all of Lovie’s tenure.
I will debate this all day long and I will win all day long but I don’t want to distract from today.

Also, once Wisconsin went up 20-7 and got the ball back I was fully expecting them to open it up. One of those "we hung tough but got tired and gave up 3 4th quarter TDs". Amazing resiliency.
