[QUOTE="illinibb76, post: 1948926, member: 10739"] This team is struggling but so is the fandom. We acted like after one year we were going to compete for the Big Ten Championship and even get into the College playoffs! If you don't believe that go back to last years and some of this year's threads. We lost to many talented and high productive players after last year and we were fooling ourselves to think we going to be better than last year. I think there's a few issues, 1) we are impatient and need to let Bret continue to build and I do think Lunney is not getting the best out of the talent we do have. 2) I believe Bret has learned a lot from his past experiences and has the ability to steady the ship and make progress. I agree it's hard to watch, especially with what we hoped could have been a quick turnaround, but I do believe we're still in a foundation building mode. We have a new quarterback that has only started 7 games and is running around trying not to get killed way too often. Talk of firing Bret and Josh being on the Hot Seat is a little dramatic. But we are Illini fans and it's not easy! 😂 Go ILLINI [/QUOTE]
