We got to see Illinois football in January for the first time since 2008. The defense did a heck of a job, despite missing key players and a coaching change. The offensive line had a tough day. Extremely excited about this upcoming season and the new QB.
Good season and loved that we got to watch an Illinois football game today.
That said, would have loved to see the Illini win this one for obvious reasons. Very winnable game and tough to finish the season having lost 4 of our final 5.
Great season in so many ways obviously but feeling good requires you to block out a massive amount of pain at the end of literally every one of our losses.
Put me in the bummed out category. Yes, I trust BB and staff and where this program is going, but we lost yet another game where we had a lead and then clearly changed how we played. Maryland last year, Indiana this year, Michigan, we’ve seen this so many times and it’s cost us quite a few wins.
Also, I'll take being disappointed about a bowl loss over all those seasons we didn't earn a bowl bid every. single. time. But next year, let's win our bowl game.
