Got to shake JW’s hand on the field after the game and thank him for all he’s done to cause this turnaround. Great day to be an Illini!!
Truly never thought I’d see a 9-3 Illini season anytime soon. Amazing!! Congrats to Bret and the team. And Josh Whitman - not sure what else can be said.

t’s good to be us. Thank you Josh. Thank you BB. Thank you to the team. Thank you to my brothers and sisters, whom I envy, who cheered us on in frigid Wrigley. What a remarkable season. What a joy and blessing to be on the O&B side of it.Warm up, those who braved the cold! I’m in southern Virginia for the VA Tech v. Virginia Commonwealth Cup game. It’s 32. Kickoff is at 8 ET and it’s forecast to be 29. So it’s balmy compared with Chicago at noon today.
Four Roses in a flask will see me through. Love this team. Love our university. Love college football. Love our country. And I haven’t even begun drinking!
Much to be thankful for all around this weekend.
Perfectly stated. My thoughts exactly.

What a season!
Being a fan since the slush fund makes an old person appreciate this excellent season even more.
Being a fan during heartbreaking losses makes a fan appreciate games like Purdue and Rutgers even more.
Congratulations to coaches and players!!!
I wonder when was the last Saturday that ILL won and O$U lost.

Fanfreakintastic season! Enjoyed this game immensely, with the exception of Matt Millen. Someone please wheel him back to his Memory Care unit.

It feels a lot less cold when your team wins! 
in total , what ratio of the crowd was illini ?
My oh my, if not for Minnesota loss. Every team we beat is .500 or better with the exception of Purdue,Northwestern, EIU, and Kansas, I believe. 3-2 against top25. 9-3, what an awesome season for Illini football. Let's get a great opponent for bowl game and win for 10, W's.

And not a single person is still alive that witnessed the first 3.
That means we have a 9+ win season every 17 years on average. How long has it been since our last one?

Honestly, 80 - 90 % Illini crowd. I believe others there would concur. Illini nation is
That’s a great view. I guess Wrigley can be a good spot to host football
You love to see it.
Malachi Hood with at least three bone-jarring hits and all over the field. He and Aiden were both a hit at “next man up” when others ahead of them sidelined by injuries. Can’t wait to see more of them this year and next (assuming New Year’s Eve bowl)
