I’m upset that we lost, but coming into this game as 17-pt underdogs and playing as well as we did, I can’t be mad. The refs sucked, but so did our play calling when it mattered most. I wanted the win to hopefully gain an edge in recruiting, but I don’t think we lost much credibility losing to #3 team on the road in last 10 seconds of game. Hopeful bball beats Virginia tomorrow. ILL.

Go watch Wisky when BB was the coach the strategy works we are just a few years away from having the line
Did you notice they wouldn’t show a replay of that play? Nothing to see here.
Until AD's demand accountability from the league nothing will change. Josh should definitely know where our fans stand if he cares to pay attention, and I think he does. If I'm an AD for anyone outside of MI and OSU I'm in Warren's ear BIG TIME about how the league hires, trains, assigns, and supervises officials - in BOTH sports.

I went through 2 full size bowls and still am so upset with the fix.........scUM gets fixes left and right........Either way, we are still a ranked team or scUM is vastly overrated
Damn.................................................Damn Damn..........................................
This program is a very long way from having the talent to compete for a New Years bowl without making good decisions along the way. Hoping they build that at some point but until they do we’re in seven-win purgatory.
Seven win purgatory? More like seven win heaven based on what Illini football has been for the last decade or so.
We're better than last year. Just keep doing that each year.
We've won 7 regular season games 4 times in the last 30 years.
You identified the problem. Warren.

Having great QB play is so important. Will thoroughly enjoy watching TDVs last 2 games, but anxious to see how we get similar level of performance out of that position going forward.

I'd rather lose a nice respectable 20 - 10 than lose this way.
However, I've been a fan long enough that I am used to this kind of game.
I do think that BB can at least maintain ILL as a respectable program and not be a joke like it was during TB-time.
And he hasn't hired a family member to coach LB's.

And we've won 8 or more only twice.
See I thought the refs were pretty consistent throughout the game. They really didn't want to throw a lot of laundry today and let them play for the most part. Was I watching a different game? I thought the loss was 100% on us and I'll give you anyone an earful if they want to hear about what I thought about the officiating of the Indiana and Purdue games.

Well, it was a tough loss considering we had victory in our grasp with a couple of minutes left. But if we could play Michigan every year, and always have it come down to a last second field goal to decide victory or defeat........I'd take it in a heartbeat.
So glad that he's OUR coach!!!! #ILL
I agree. Wisconsin and Iowa aren't going to be down in the same season very often. however with improvement in the roster by BB, it shouldn't be an issue competing with and defeating them
I saw this pick play instantly watching on my phone. No explainable reason how officials don't see it unless they don't wanna see it.
