[QUOTE="Fighter of the Nightman, post: 1419388, member: 590800"] Prepare yourself for my overly dramatic Monday morning reflection comment, but... ... that was the most deflating Illini football loss for me since the season opening debacle against Missouri in 2009. Seriously, almost a decade. There have been several other losses that have either killed our positive vibes and/or derailed our season to some extent (vs. UNC in Lovie's first season, a home blowout loss to Louisiana Tech in Beckman's first season that I attended, looking awful at home vs. unranked OSU in 2011 to start our 0-6 finish, etc.), but this was the first time in a long time that our fan base seemed to really have gained some hope and belief in Lovie; even the Illini fans that thought we'd lose that game believed we would give 'em hell on our own turf. We laid down. Wisconsin will destroy us, and I fear the wheels might fall off then. [/QUOTE]
