Pregame: Illinois vs Chattanooga, Thursday, September 22nd, 7:30pm CT, BTN
- Status
Iowa travels well. We are likely after their dollars.
They might redirect it over the cross bar.
We had a team full of experienced superseniors last year. There are a lot of young players on this team, mistakes are to be expected (and hopefully corrected).
Any Illini bars in Jacksonville, Florida?
Shad probably had one somewhere around there and you can make it the unofficial official Illinois bar.
This is the perfect time to work on fundamentals and put together a fairly vanilla game plan for the Mocs.
Illini fans used to have watch gatherings at Time Out Sports Bar at 13799 Beach Blvd. Suite 5 Jacksonville FL 32223. Not sure if they still do.
Great, thanks!
He is down there, yes good point. Thanks!
Bielema said that these things would be a focus of attention between now and the Chattanooga game, so I expect to see improvement.
Wally, I thought your dad played football for Chattanooga. Hope you’re not conflicted next game.

The Beaver was a Badger? Figured him more for an Oregon St. Guy.

Yes, but still stings when it should be 4-0
It used to be that the lower northeast section (might be 101, like in the tweet Dan posted) was for students that weren't part of Block I. Are they just stuffing all students into the North EZ now?

Our student support the last two seasons continues to be outstanding and proportionately WAY better than the rest of our fan base. Major props to the kids!

So are the Badger fans. Crazy year this far. Haven't reached out to my Domer friends yet - giving them some space...Not sure they will this year, my Iowa fan friends are about as dejected as ever!

Sorry to throw this out there Nightman, but I had to chuckle at the hint of Iowa fans being as dejected "as ever." (I realize I shouldn't be so literal.) This shows nearly 20 years of Iowa football before Hayden Fry arrived to turn things around (he actually started in 1979). The Hawkeyes were hapless and their fans were suffering miserably like we have been (for the most part) over the past 20+ years. A 1-1 start to the 2022 season, after 40 years of unprecedented success, is nowhere close to where things were for their fanbase in 1980.Not sure they will this year, my Iowa fan friends are about as dejected as ever (or, at least since 1980)!

Lol, yeah, I just meant in my life since I’ve known these folks. It’s not so much the record as it is the demoralizing offense and the nepotism behind the OC still having a job.
You gotta start younger than that. I was born up in the Horseshoe, and emerged from the womb just in time to check if the field goal the Illini were kicking was good. Too poor to buy a pacifier, I teethed on an orange mouthpiece. In honor of Grange and Butkus, my folks gave me the first and middle names of Red and Dick. Try fighting your way through school with those names. After I learned to walk, my dad gave me an orange and blue football and told me to hang on to it. If I dropped it, I had to do 10 laps around the house while singing the 3 in 1. Every Halloween, I trick or treated dressed as the Chief. My dogs are named Oskee and Wow wow. Yeah, I guess you could call me a fan.

IIRC there was an announcement in MS at the end of the VA game that students got free tix for that Chattanooga game.
