Week 8 Games
Agreed. We'll probably get them in Lincoln next week.
That was a terrible call…
What a dreadful dreadful TD call to allow Purdue a touchdown. Ball extended missed by a good foot and a half. Replay obvious. Probably not going to change the outcome, but if game was on the line, wow what a travesty. Worse than the Hightower non-catch call.

That's just 100% incompetence. On the intentional grounding call, your receivers run two bad routes so your pass goes into the ether.....you are very obviously not intending to ground the ball to avoid a sack.
I don't know what recourse or review process the B1G has but these kinds of calls can't go unnoticed by the league.

Tough to get complacent with a BT West title on the line. We learned our lesson against Indy and have to go into every game hungry.
Amen! I‘m baffled watching this.
must be the Indiana crew....B1G refs continue to lower the bar

It's not looking good for my nephew's Rebels. Ole Miss trailing LSU by 11 in the 4th Quarter.
Uhhhhh yes. Numbers just look shoddy. If you’re going to do it, just do it right.

Even the most pessimistic Illinois fan has to see we're by far the best team in the West at this point. We absolutely should be in the B1G Championship game. We desperately need to seize this opportunity.

Just wondering out loud-Northwestern was 3-9 in 2019 & 2021 and have a good chance of finishing with one or two wins this year. Does Fitzgerald’s seat ever get hot or is he just coach there as long as he wants to be?
As long as he wants to be.
As someone suggested as long as he wants. But if he can't pull it together I could see him retiring.

Or promoted up.
Maybe seasons ago but a NFL team can't justify hiring a coach off of a 1-3 win season. No way.
Tanner Morgan out in concussion protocol; crazy to think that it was Jacas' forearm(!) that did that
There’s really no bleed over of B1G schools outside of PA in northeast PA. I haven’t seen one Illini here in 30 years, other than the one I sleep with.

Sorry to be unclear. I meant within the Northwestern athletic department. Some lofty-sounding title with minimal responsibilities.
Oh that I could see for sure.

If PSU shuts down Ibrahim today won't that leave Chase with the longest streak of 100+ yard games in the B1G?

Just home and starting to catch-up on all of today's results (thus far). Thinking we need to root for PSU (East) to win at home over Minnesota (West). Looking very good so far!
That will leave just two challengers in the West Division --- Nebraska & Purdue --- each with two Big 10 losses. Everyone else will have 3, and we have the tie-breaker over MN, IA, MN. Wow - amazing!!
The bad news in that story is that Nebraska will have the incentive of playing for 1st place in the West next weekend! However, they've got a really tough schedule to finish out the season.
