I guess there are the quick ones that take place after a first down; but nothing that is prolonged
Last year had very little HC turnover. Think we'll see the opposite this off-season.
Could correlate to some really talented guys hitting the portal. Think we swing hard there. I don't see an organic Illinois commit becoming a full year starter until Carson Boyd redshirt sophomore season.
Though I will admit, Hampton could be a great stop gap next year with an offense that's completely new and multiple starters to replace on the O Line.
Spend the $$ on OL and a little on DL and maybe a CB. Illinois is going to need it. I've mentioned before he's the type of QB Bielema likes and tends to be a good fit.

Dip your nuggets in my staff source sauce.
Could be. I admit it is silly to make any sort of predictions about who is going to be starting for anyone next year.
Read that McCray has been sidelined for most of the fall by a mysterious health issue. Assumed he went to Georgia for NIL and a chance to be THE guy in the backfield.
Also, figured Donavan Leary.went to Tulane so he could play quicker. However, he appears to be buried in the QB room there. Grass is not always greener....unless we're talking $$$ green.

Had to look up the meaning of "dapped him up".
They open it so the fans cannot throw a full beer can on the field or at players. That’s what a server there told me

This has been the policy for a number of years, and it is in place at most professional and major college football stadiums. I’m sure we are going to have many questions like this from fans that took a few years off from attending games at Memorial Stadium.
On the plus side, fans are now allowed to bring in their own water bottles to fill up at the water fountains in the stadium.

Expensive...that's $13.50 a throw....
Look at all those believers of OSKEE and WINT.
Sorry to disagree, there is growing evidence, and I agree with, that says slding feet first leads to more injuries than a cover-up and go down. I think the slide is fine as a means of giving yourself up to end the play, but if a hit is apparently coming, covering up and diving down is better. That does not open the QB for targeting type hits. Those can still be called. IMHO, sliding at the last second is a big mistake for safety and it's too difficult to correctly enforce when there is an unnecessary hit. It is unfair to the defender as well. Too many times they have been hit with a penalty when it was the QB's fault.
Since Red Grange’s record was broken by Hank, I thought I’d share a Red Grange story that I was reminded of.
I was in first or second grade and had to do some kind of report on a famous person, and I chose Red Grange.
We had to write to this famous person with questions, I forgot all about it and have no clue what I asked, BUT Red Grange wrote me back, I was shocked. It was back in the early 80s, hopefully someday I find the letter buried somewhere.
What great day for Hank.

Pregame: Illinois vs Western Illinois, Friday, August 29th, 6:30pm CT, Peacock
WIU is the most likely to be closing within the next 10 years. NIU and SIU are fine and I'd be shocked if they closed anytime soon. EIU has started to recover from the school nearly closing during the Rauner budget crunch era and enrollment has gotten better as the years have gone on. I would...
