In defense of the Boilermakers, O'Connell isn't playing tonight.

well, as an Illinois fan I like it. But what in the world makes you think anyone would want to poach him?

I think I said I would like it if it would happen (for the same reason you do plus I have a soft spot for the Buffaloes). That is not the same as saying that I think it would actually happen (it won't). Kinda like the difference between hoping I win the lottery vs. thinking that I will win the lottery (I won't). Those are two very different things.
No worries. It was more of a reference that only listeners of a certain age of the Score will get.
Miami (OH) just made a late FG to take the lead on Northwestern. 17-14 with 19 seconds to go.
Miami beats the wildcats. Haha. Purdue barely beats a FAU team at home.
Northwestern still sucks 
Redhawks win 17-14
3rd straight home loss this season and 5th straight home loss overall for Northwestern.
Last win for the Redhawks over a B1G opponent was back in 2003 when a team led by Ben Roethlisberger won, also at Northwestern.

OMG - adrian Martinez! What a stud. Beating No. 6 Oklahoma on the road.
I can't even imagine Nebraska fans watching this. Actually, I can, and it is kind of fun.

It is very possible that NW goes 1-11 this season. Does Fitz survive that? It’s tough to say. He made it to the championship game in 2018 and 2020. My hope is that some in-state kids thinking about going there will decommit.
By the way, watching this OU-K-State game, has any announcer been on a faster career rise than Jason Benetti?
Props to him. Not a White Sox fan, but love listening to him there. And college basketball with Robbie Hummel (and even Bill Walton!), now doing a great job (IMO) with national college football too?....big fan of his.

I’m pretty sure they just said they have lost the last 9 out of 10. That would be 17 of 18.
Btw how smart does Terah Edwards look now? LOL
About a billion times smarter than Danny Navarro LOL
Benetti took the job at FOX just last month and they'll give him a better opportunity than what he was ever going to get on ESPN. For college football, he's on the #2 team with Brock Huard. With ESPN, he was usually stuck with some random Friday Night game that either has a bottom tier Power 5 team or some random Group of 5 game. He's also set to call college hoops as well as some MLB games for the network too.

I have a feeling he will fill Buck's shoes one day. Joe Buck seems pretty gracious for everything he has and has hinted during Howard Stern interviews that it might be getting close to someone filling his spot.
Good stuff. Thanks. On a sidenote, I don't realize how all these contracts work for announcers. Obviously it looks like Benetti is free to ditch the White Sox when he needs to to also do these college games. And I know he's also doing those NBC peacock baseball games. I'm just impressed with how prepared he always sounds; to me, it seems he always does his homework for college sports and you'd never gues he spends his summers doing baseball. Plus I enjoy his sense of humor and self-depricating nature.
And thanks to you HoosierLand for all your recaps on the state teams, college trivia and everything else.
True but if you are down 10 and give up a touchdown you are down 3 scores. In hindsight if they kicked both extra points they are only down 3 when they get the onside kick so a completion or penalty and they have the chance for a tying field goal so you are probably right

Alumnus. He's got purple in his veins. I think he survives a single 1-11 season.
And yes, I hope it leads to several decommits, a pipeline south to Champaign, and a follow-up 1-11 season for the Wildcats in 2023!
Took a look at 24/7 to see what in-state kids Northwestern has in tow for 2023. Surprisingly, at least according to them there isn’t a lot of overlap with Illinois.
9. (state rank). Damon Walters/S — Bolingbrook — Illinois offer prior to NW; took official to IL in June, after he committed to NW.
12. Anthony Birsa/IOL — Joliet Catholic — no Illinois offer or interest noted
14. Frank Covey/ATH — Mount Prospect — no Illinois offer but Illinois interest noted
21. Aiden Gray/QB — Naperville North — no Illinois offer or interest noted.
Two NW commits not from IL were also offered by Illinois. The most interesting is probably Tyler Gant/DT — Christian Brothers College (STL). Ranked #599, he visited IL after commitment to Northwestern. Other NW crossover is Nigel Glover/LB — Ohio. Ranked #290 and IL was actually his first offer.
What a great weekend of college football beginning from last Thursday night! And now On (to) Wisconsin!!
BB has his priorities in order as he spoke in his last presser that the Madison press wanted to do articles on his return to Madison but he turned them down because he said this is about the UofI, not him.. Very well said!
