[QUOTE="pruman91, post: 1819740, member: 3916"] At BB's presser he displayed a variety of emotions that , I for one , feel were very genuine and honest and in the heat of the moment he stated , "" we got robbed from our soul and I'm very pissed off "" ......I firmly believe he said those comments as honestly as he could without the immediate aspect of saving the locker room , but as a realization of how he honestly felt at that moment and the end result was saving the locker room........... He made the statement I'm very pissed off right now BECAUSE he was very pissed off.......with all that has happened to him the last few days I think he was speaking from the heart with no ulterior motives other than to express his true feelings at that time........................The fact that BB almost lost it later on in the presser when asked questions about his mother showed to me the true basic human feelings of dealing with remorse for his loss of his mother with the out right theft of the FB game by corrupt and inept officials starting with those on the field and higher up the food chain of college FB.......... make no mistake Illini nation .........We were robbed , jobbed and molested in many decisions made on that field yesterday........ Yes , we could have had a more robust pattern of play calling to win the game , instead of playing not to lose.......But the facts are that the qb1 for scUM did have his knee down on the turf and in possession of the FB ......it also is a fact that the scUM receiver did NOT have control of that pass as the nose of the FB touched the turf first and for many years that has been ruled an incomplete pass ........it is also a fact that the scUM play was a pick play and should have been flagged .....i remember a game last year when Barker caught a TD pass on a play just like the scUM play and the flag was thrown and we lost a TD......... Bottom line is this ........We lost because we didn't make the plays to take the outcome out of the corrupt hands that eventually changed the rulebook for the favor of scUM and the higher ups who wanted the BIG GAME next week and all the income and notoriety will bestow on them...... I have witnessed at least 30-40 ads promoting next weeks game of scUM and the bucknuts as the game of the year....based on their records , it will capture the attention of the college FB world and now with the lopsided loss by the Vol's we may see both scUM and bucky in the playoffs regardless of who wins or loses.... I commend BB for his posture in the eye opening steal of our game yesterday and I also hope he stays with the Illini for many many years.....it's refreshing to see an Illini coach fighting for his team , University and Illini Nation.........It's the status quo to see the neverending amount of terrible officiating in FB and BB ruin what should be a fairly called game for both teams with no reason for discourse......I hope we reach that point sometime in the future , but as I witnessed yesterday , we have a long ways to go to get there............ JMHO............................. [/QUOTE]
