[QUOTE="hooraybeer, post: 1811215, member: 17413"] disappointing loss yesterday. after sleeping on it, here’s my take: i realized that the disappointment i felt yesterday was not the disappointment i typically associate with illini football. THAT disappointment usually comes after several uninspired losses to start the B1G slate as I realize that another fall will pass without me really getting truly excited about illini football. THIS disappointment is different. i am excited about illini football again. and they let us down. and we’re all sad about it. but the fact is, they have allowed us to be proud and excited about the team again. my older brother texted me yesterday and said that for the first time in a long time, he felt proud to wear and illini football shirt around town. my entire fall has been elevated by the excitement around the team. i am looking forward to saturday college football again hot take time: this loss (just like the indiana loss) came at a perfect time. none of the players on our roster have experienced the kind of college success we have experienced this year. they all (rightfully so) were probably feeling themselves a bit, and it led to yesterday. we weren’t the focused, methodical team that got us here. this loss, while a bummer, will refocus and rededicate the team to the grind. i truly feel that yesterdays loss sets us up for a final, inspired push to the B1G West title. I feel better about our chances against michigan after yesterday, we shall see LILMHS (licensed illini loss mental health specialist) [/QUOTE]
