[QUOTE="Illiniguy74, post: 1815079, member: 656008"] The wear and tear of the season has taken its toll on our boys. We are thin at some key positions to begin with. Giving and taking a beating wears you down. Add injuries to the mix that grow in severity over time and effort or impact of that effort begins to diminish. The boys continue to give their all. You can see the emotional pain in their faces when they lose. As for the coaches, I believe they have done a masterful job of getting the boys ready to play as was reflected in the results in the early-mid part of the season. The boys have become frustrated as they wear down as was demonstrated by the penalties yesterday. Despite all this, but for a bad PI call against Witherspoon at a key point in the game, we may have managed to win the game. Illinois football is my sport. Nothing else matters nearly as much. I despise the "bring on basketball" comment. I'm hurting and disappointed but, at the same time, proud of the boys and the season they have had. Three more opportunities. I'll be with you today, tomorrow and until I draw my last breath. GO ILLINI!! [/QUOTE]
