[QUOTE="TheChief4Life, post: 1969496, member: 747708"] I’m gonna conclude my football season with this: Last year was obviously exciting for how well the team did. This year, while from 10000 feet above was a disappointment, was possibly the most entertaining football season I’ve ever watched as an Illini fan. Would I had preferred to win every game by 40? Yea. But good lord… every game this season (well most) was must see TV from kickoff to final whistle. Not Zook, Not Beckman, and Not Lovie ever provided the consistently entertaining product the way bielema has the past two years. I wish there wasn’t so much riding on winning because the entertainment value alone is worth the admission. The season was a moderate failure (maybe even huge failure), but there were absolutely bright spots. And, I still feel positive about the future of the program. There’s just going to still be pains along the way. I trust Bret… 97% of the time 🙂. I love listening to him talk about football, Illinois, and honestly anything. He seems way more knowledgeable than the last three coaches put together. Now, hit the recruiting trail, hit the portal, and bring us some pieces. Until next year (or as soon as the sting goes away), I’m signing out. If I don’t check in before next July-ish, my family will get our season tickets again next year… for the 20th year in a row. We’ll see you at memorial stadium! I-L-L! [/QUOTE]
