I hate to say this, but this is my take too.Nothing I’ve seen over the past two decades plus watching Illini football suggests to me that there is anything other than a 100% chance that we don’t win this game.
Prove me wrong then. I’d like to know at least once in my life what that feels like
Sadly I agree with this assessment.Nothing I’ve seen over the past two decades plus watching Illini football suggests to me that there is anything other than a 100% chance that we don’t win this game.

I get that consistency comes with being a good team but it's be nice if they could play one complete game this season. Maybe this will be that oneI hate to say this, but this is my take too.
The fans that overreact to every negative thing forget: We're returning most of our defense. Yes, we're losing Newton and maybe Randolph but guys like Bryant and Odeluga have been emerging on the line. We're bringing back most of our offense as well. The staff does need to figure some things out, but we have a favorable schedule next year and should still be competitive. Sucks we probably won't get a chance to play for the Big Ten title but we still have a more competitive program than we had under previous regimes.So, Illinois will be battling for a bowl against a team that will s, against all odds, exceeding all expectations. We’ll likely have the least amount of fans all year due to Thanksgiving weekend, and here’s the way-to-early forecast:

It has the makings of an end of the year disappointment.
I’ll see you at Memorial Stadium next weekend.
I will follow that with this: while this year has been frustrating, the level of frustration and the feeling of frustration is light-years away from what Infwlt under Lovie and Beckman.
Hmmm… interesting. So that shocks me. I don’t hate it, it’s just shocking. He didn’t “lose” his opportunity today, I just figured we’d go back to “the sorrybook ended” idea.
Illinois football is the sorrybook that never ends…yes it goes on and on my friendsHmmm… interesting. So that shocks me. I don’t hate it, it’s just shocking. He didn’t “lose” his opportunity today, I just figured we’d go back to “the sorrybook ended” idea.
Paddock played well against a good Iowa defense. I am not sure what his completion percentage would have been if you take away drops on good throws. It could be his last college game. Paddock understands how to get the ball out quickly and make good readsHope this doesn't mean bad things for our situation with Luke. Just gotta win though....
This a million times over.I will follow that with this: while this year has been frustrating, the level of frustration and the feeling of frustration is light-years away from what Infwlt under Lovie and Beckman.
unless we manage to pick up a great QB from the portal (seems unlikely) LA will start next year, so why would he pass that up to sit out a year somewhere else and maybe not start there after a year of not playing?I think Luke is a good qb but he is still adjusting to the speed of college. I don’t think Luke is going anywhere because if he transfers he has to sit a year
