Cignetti keeps roasting us - snipes824 September 22, 2025, 15:14:40

- Do i like it? No. Am I ok with it? Hell, he/they earned it - RSMBob September 22, 2025, 16:48:52
- I hope he AND Bruce Pearl are having health problems.* - Warrin'_Illini September 22, 2025, 15:24:21

  - It's the first scalp he's gotten - RVA September 22, 2025, 16:06:23
  - When you sixty ball a top 10 team I think you are allowed to dance on their graves a bit - CoronaTheirAss September 22, 2025, 15:37:05
    - at the risk of biting Cignetti's bit, we were never a top 10 team anywhere but on paper - Sammich September 22, 2025, 15:57:28
      - I think scoring 1000 points on us will hurt us in recruiting more than anything Cignetti says * - meanjeans September 22, 2025, 16:31:44
        
        I honestly don't care if it hurts us or not. - Sammich September 22, 2025, 16:52:22
      - Doesn’t bother me. It’s a sign of respect more than anything* - CoronaTheirAss September 22, 2025, 16:09:09
      - He's the "Google me" guy. I think he's just an asshole in general* - Taz September 22, 2025, 16:04:42
  - Bielema said last week that we come up against Indiana in recruiting as much or more than anyone - snipes824 September 22, 2025, 15:20:30
    - I think he's mostly an asshole - bjl63 September 22, 2025, 15:34:34
      - well, yeah. it's like a two for one* - snipes824 September 22, 2025, 17:31:01
      - ^^This^^* - DocWalk20 September 22, 2025, 16:49:58

Conformation on X Scott - jdl September 22, 2025, 13:04:59
- Bielema you idiot!* - Poldark September 22, 2025, 13:31:39
- We have to change the 90/10 rule to the 99/1 rule at this point.* - OB25 September 22, 2025, 13:29:55
- ooooof - Blazer September 22, 2025, 13:28:04
  - Maybe one day this won't be as big of an issue - OrangeSox September 22, 2025, 13:57:01
  - Matthew Bailey this past week... Luke Altmyer avoided injury but was under pressure... - uofi1998 September 22, 2025, 13:32:31
    - He did play and got ran over and avoided contact* - JacobRDaugherty September 22, 2025, 13:44:34
      - Thx. I couldn’t bear to watch at that point * - uofi1998 September 22, 2025, 13:58:13
        
        That was the moment I turned it off* - JacobRDaugherty September 22, 2025, 14:01:21
- Welp* - reggiedunlop September 22, 2025, 13:14:16
MENDOOOOOOZZZZAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!* - VIV September 22, 2025, 12:32:25
opened a CBS mock draft, Mendoza is first pick * - MC September 22, 2025, 12:11:29
Is this Roughy? - Sounder September 22, 2025, 10:59:08
Depends of the injury situation - jfinsocal September 22, 2025, 9:38:27
- If they can’t shake it off, I fear bad blood in the locker room* - bbonb September 22, 2025, 10:06:28
  - Does my bat signal detect a Taylor Swift pun thread? - Sounder September 22, 2025, 12:01:12
    - Your reputation in threads precedes you - Taz September 22, 2025, 16:33:56
What's your level of rage and or sadness over that? - ijustkrushalot September 22, 2025, 8:05:33
- 0% angry, 100% sad/embarrassed - OrangeSox September 22, 2025, 14:00:29
  - ^^this^^ A one-possession loss is one thing: a beatdown is another. - osklister September 22, 2025, 15:19:59
- 63-10 is a stain that will be hard to get out from a perception standpoint. But… - OB25 September 22, 2025, 13:49:27
  - This* - Blazer September 22, 2025, 15:18:03
    - While this doesn’t matter at all in reality, one thing that bummed me out… - OB25 September 22, 2025, 16:12:33
- I'm an Illinois fan. I know we can't be trusted. * - IlliniRunner September 22, 2025, 13:27:21
- I’m over it. Beat USC* - bjl63 September 22, 2025, 12:44:24
  - Yep. * - harb September 22, 2025, 13:49:18
- Still processing - jdl September 22, 2025, 12:41:27
- As with most thing Illini sports in this phase of life, hardest part was watching - Blazer September 22, 2025, 11:59:22
  - I was driving so wasn't able to watch / not in listening range - bulldogmba September 22, 2025, 12:55:08
  - Don't do that to your kid, find him another team - Sounder September 22, 2025, 12:07:30
    - Unfortunately, that horse has left the barn - Blazer September 22, 2025, 16:28:09
  - I think one other aspect to it is... all it takes is one amazing hire. - tvillini September 22, 2025, 12:04:26
    - With the accompanying odds of it happening. A unicorn hire* - uofi1998 September 22, 2025, 12:09:36
      - The timing was also impeccable - UIHuskie September 22, 2025, 12:34:00
        
        Indiana also nabbed him really early in the cycle before most jobs opened - RVA September 22, 2025, 13:04:44
        
        Sure, but what he's done at IU is literally unprecedented... - uofi1998 September 22, 2025, 13:13:08
        
        But like... he brought a JMU team with him... not even an FBS team... - uofi1998 September 22, 2025, 12:50:24
        
        JMU was FBS and he went 11-1 in his final year. That included a win over UVa - UIHuskie September 22, 2025, 12:58:10
        
        Some were probably pre-transition when the players signed with JMU* - RVA September 22, 2025, 13:02:17
        
        Oh yeah... they moved up a couple years ago... - uofi1998 September 22, 2025, 13:01:17
        
        Now this isn’t because of him but I do think there’s anyone nearly should be some kind of limit - bjl63 September 22, 2025, 12:53:03
- pretty sure that was our 09 Missouri game and we're done for the year - assassin September 22, 2025, 11:54:28
  - The tangible difference between that and this was/is health. - uofi1998 September 22, 2025, 12:11:27
    - Coaching and effort, too - bjl63 September 22, 2025, 12:14:49
      - Can't really beat the OC dead horse any further... - uofi1998 September 22, 2025, 12:20:51
- Mostly sadness. - tvillini September 22, 2025, 11:17:53
  - If we weren't so decimated by injuries on the back end, we could chalk it up... - uofi1998 September 22, 2025, 11:23:06
    - This is really the issue. Not sure we can even reach our potential given the decimated secondary - OWWDig September 22, 2025, 11:26:18
      - I'm not kidding when I say this season has 2008-09 potential... - uofi1998 September 22, 2025, 11:27:53
        
        I'm hope you're wrong...but yea, I see it* - OWWDig September 22, 2025, 12:19:20
- pretty low, but it probably helps that I was busy with cub scout stuff and largely unable to watch - Gene Parmesan September 22, 2025, 10:58:50
- Better today than yesterday...but still pretty bummed - KingTalkyTiki September 22, 2025, 10:13:37
  - Pregaming helped a lot LOL - jfinsocal September 22, 2025, 10:21:44
- I’m oddly more concerned with the offense than the defense. The defense got carved of course - meanjeans September 22, 2025, 9:57:45
- Emptiness really with moments of sadness, but all the excitement, the buildup, the happiness - reggiedunlop September 22, 2025, 9:42:06
- Mostly sadness. I think we now lose to USC, Washington, OSU, Maryland, and Rutgers. - Phytynlini September 22, 2025, 9:40:31
  - I’m confident in those home games with USC, MD, and RU - illiniranger September 22, 2025, 9:52:29
    - Our defense might be pretty bad though - illiniranger September 22, 2025, 9:55:18
      - Autofill: That Duke game was the very definition of a false positive.* - uofi1998 September 22, 2025, 11:28:47
        
        We put them away and did what we needed so I’m not that down on it - illiniranger September 22, 2025, 11:53:57
        
        It was an awful performance in the first half that somehow ended with a lead. - uofi1998 September 22, 2025, 11:57:37
      - IDK, I think our defensive performance vs Purdue last year was arguably worse than this - meanjeans September 22, 2025, 10:14:48
- I had us 8-4 and still think we can go 8-4 - illini September 22, 2025, 9:24:18
- Sad, also disappointed in the embarrassment of it. Losing to a clearly good IU team in Bloomington - IlliniOllie September 22, 2025, 9:22:56
- I'm sad that we are not actually playoff material, though I had my suspicions. - Taz September 22, 2025, 9:18:31
  - This is pretty much where I'm at too. Only thing I'm mad at is how good IU is* - WhitmansFolly September 22, 2025, 9:22:02
- The team is still a billion times better than when I was there (fall of 1995-1998). - JFG September 22, 2025, 8:59:11
- Rage, 0 - Mrap24 September 22, 2025, 8:53:04
- I was telling anyone who would listen that we were about to get smacked - GMAW September 22, 2025, 8:49:50
  - I’m not sure how much will change personnel-wise - bjl63 September 22, 2025, 10:21:30
    - I miss TP... and no, I'm not kidding. - uofi1998 September 22, 2025, 11:20:41
- Tough to feel anything but apathy after a shit pumping of that magnitude. - Warrin'_Illini September 22, 2025, 8:45:09
  - I'd agree with you if I cared more. - osklister September 22, 2025, 8:52:27
    - look at how little I care! - IlliniSax05 September 22, 2025, 9:20:53
      - Eh, you can look or not. Don't care. (I was kinda apathetic about responding here, but.. who cares?) - osklister September 22, 2025, 9:24:11
        
        I look at the Illini Football thread because I care about Illini Football - IlliniSax05 September 22, 2025, 9:27:05
- USC -8 by SP+ * - illiniranger September 22, 2025, 8:38:52
  - Unless they sleep in, they're going to put up 40+ on our secondary. - uofi1998 September 22, 2025, 11:25:22
- No rage at all. 50% sadness, 30% worry, and 20% disappointment* - snipes824 September 22, 2025, 8:33:51
- Really just stunned at how many dudes they have...and how many were at JMU* - jayd September 22, 2025, 8:28:19
  - So what is the secret sauce? Am i supposed to believe JMU + a few p4 transfers... - uofi1998 September 22, 2025, 8:29:42
    - A first round QB helps a lot - snipes824 September 22, 2025, 8:37:38
      - Rourke wasn't a first round QB last year, and they whooped ass then too* - uofi1998 September 22, 2025, 11:18:59
    - I don’t think it’s repeatable/explainable - illiniranger September 22, 2025, 8:34:27
      - Totally, and usually it takes time. This was instant, and just crazy. - uofi1998 September 22, 2025, 11:19:42
        
        Reminds me of Snyder at KSU, but without the 4-5 year rebuild thanks to txfer portal * - illiniranger September 22, 2025, 11:57:47
        
        Probably the best comp there is... KSU was a decades-long doormat... - uofi1998 September 22, 2025, 12:10:19
- we're on to USC* - Sammich September 22, 2025, 8:18:51
- I am still in a bit of shock. It's mainly about how fucking good IU is though. - uofi1998 September 22, 2025, 8:10:31
  - Their QB is crazy accurate on RPO slant - illiniranger September 22, 2025, 8:19:55
    - Their nose tackle was also outstanding - illiniranger September 22, 2025, 8:22:13
      - Are we sure it wasn't because Kruetz stunk/stinks?* - JacobRDaugherty September 22, 2025, 9:16:28
        
        I think he knows the game impeccably, but has the physical presence of a G4 or FCS center. - uofi1998 September 22, 2025, 12:23:39
- Not that upset - illiniranger September 22, 2025, 8:09:56
  - Yeah... a lot of things that fell our way last year... none of it happened the other night. - uofi1998 September 22, 2025, 8:12:06
    - The loss of McCray is hurting the pass protection also - illiniranger September 22, 2025, 8:15:33
      - You nailed that one. The difference is incredible. - uofi1998 September 22, 2025, 8:16:28
        
        it seems like Ca'lil has done more to learn to be better at picking up blitzes than Feagin - ijustkrushalot September 22, 2025, 8:55:19
        
        I’m not sure he’s good at all.* - Mrap24 September 22, 2025, 8:54:29
        
        Trying not to be rude because I know they all try hard, but, I don’t think Feagin is very good - illiniranger September 22, 2025, 8:23:44
        
        There's a reason others wanted him to play other positions. - uofi1998 September 22, 2025, 8:28:46
Reminded me of the Duke basketball game last year. - nash September 21, 2025, 14:12:28
- It's a decent parallel, but the injuries don't go away... that's the real concern.* - uofi1998 September 22, 2025, 12:29:39
- Just win at least 7. Bowl game. All I can ask for. Shit, I’ll take 6 and a bowl* - illini thunder September 21, 2025, 14:21:39
- Roughy tweeted about that* - Sounder September 21, 2025, 14:13:53
  - I’m not really into X or twitter or whatever so I missed that.* - nash September 21, 2025, 14:36:10
We managed to hang on in the rankings, #23* - OB25 September 21, 2025, 13:11:49
- That’s gotta be up there with largest drops ever. 14 spot drop is crazy * - meanjeans September 21, 2025, 13:46:06
  - Michigan went from 5 to unranked when it lost to Appalachian State* - JacobRDaugherty September 21, 2025, 14:44:40
  - Notre Dame went 16 spots down last week* - illini222 September 21, 2025, 13:50:10
- Dropped 18 spots in SP+* - Blazer September 21, 2025, 13:15:40
USC -4.5 * - OB25 September 21, 2025, 10:37:46
The level of mental midgetry in this thread is truly impressive.* - longsnapper September 21, 2025, 10:11:03
Let's just get to 7-5. Make a bowl. That's really all we should ever expect. We are Illinois. As - LovetheChief September 21, 2025, 9:58:14
- Pretty crazy that just about all their star players were at JMU - jayd September 21, 2025, 12:31:07
  - I’m gonna laugh when Disney picks up part of the tab for Deboer’s buyout* - opossum jenkins September 21, 2025, 12:34:21
- Purdue, Wisconsin, Rutgers and NW alone get us to 7 - bjl63 September 21, 2025, 10:55:19
  - Maryland too* - Blazer September 21, 2025, 12:17:20
  - I no longer think we have a shot at USC or Washington either. Get to 7.* - LovetheChief September 21, 2025, 11:02:34
    - Of course we have a shot to beat USC* - GMAW September 21, 2025, 13:03:34
    - I think we'll beat one of those but lose to Purdue or Rutgers* - RVA September 21, 2025, 11:41:28
USC has 16 sacks thus far vs 21 all of last year - bjl63 September 21, 2025, 9:53:23
- They have a couple of beasts up front. 4 is a freshman and has been great* - Chicago1995 September 21, 2025, 11:35:57
So, our rankings plummet to 15-20 range while IU is 1 -3 spots head of us - timmer September 21, 2025, 9:47:28
- 23rd in the coaches* - GrandmotherPearlsJam September 21, 2025, 12:14:21
  - Ouch* - timmer September 21, 2025, 12:20:49
- I think IU is going into the top 10, and we’ll be somewhere 22-UR* - snipes824 September 21, 2025, 9:54:26
- Bzzzzt. We’ll be unranked and deservedly so.* - Toonces September 21, 2025, 9:51:54
  - I don’t think so, 18-22 imo * - illini thunder September 21, 2025, 11:37:00
We really need to focus on the affect the targeting had. Spotlight isssue pregame show next week* - JeffFrank September 21, 2025, 9:45:28
we gonna get carved - RVA September 21, 2025, 9:28:49
Watched 1st 5 mins of Bielema post game. We only had 10 players on field for blocked punt - illini thunder September 21, 2025, 8:49:23
- Already discussed below - Blazer September 21, 2025, 11:01:30
  - Yeah, I clearly missed that one * - illini thunder September 21, 2025, 11:42:03
- I think he said their only having 10 messed up our count* - JeffFrank September 21, 2025, 9:43:48
  - Dang, though, if THEY only had 10 that makes the block even worse * - illini thunder September 21, 2025, 11:36:00
  - He said IU only had 10 - Blazer September 21, 2025, 11:02:33
    - Yeah. When he said “that threw our count off” clearly refers to them only having 10, but - illini thunder September 21, 2025, 11:41:24
I’m generally a “flush the game” guy, and I posted during the game that it’s never as good or bad as - snipes824 September 21, 2025, 8:08:37
- The DB decimation has me very worried* - JeffFrank September 21, 2025, 9:44:28
- Jury’s still out in my mind. Quite possibly IU is very very good. Like title contender good. - Orangeillini September 21, 2025, 9:27:55
  - I absolutely think IU is very very/championship level good - snipes824 September 21, 2025, 10:12:40
  - Counterpoint: Indiana turning into a title contender overnight doesn't make me feel any better* - RVA September 21, 2025, 9:30:43
    - So much this. Lose like this to tOSU, okay. Freaking IU? Gross* - WhitmansFolly September 21, 2025, 15:41:11
    - This* - Tooldresser September 21, 2025, 9:55:44
- We’re closer to a 7-5 team than a 9-3 team. * - illiniranger September 21, 2025, 8:48:06
  - I hope we're a 7-5 team* - snipes824 September 21, 2025, 9:02:26
    - It’s doable. Realistic. Indiana exposed every weakness we’ve got, but we can still win 7* - opossum jenkins September 21, 2025, 9:03:53
      - I agree. i'm having lovie flashbacks this morning, but a better performance next week - snipes824 September 21, 2025, 9:09:45
        
        I use the word “mistake” carefully, but I think you can argue the biggest mistake of BBs tenure here - illiniranger September 21, 2025, 9:23:05
        
        Not a mistake per se but if he’s not thinking about having to replace Bart Miller - ilinni11 September 21, 2025, 12:07:36
        
        OL recruiting development has been bad* - Poldark September 21, 2025, 11:25:11
        
        I agree, including the hesitation about “mistake” - snipes824 September 21, 2025, 9:52:10
      - Wish northwestern and Wisconsin were earlier in the schedule. We have a tough road ahead. - Toonces September 21, 2025, 9:06:59
  - Which is fine by me. I like the idea of stringing together winning seasons for the first…. - opossum jenkins September 21, 2025, 8:57:18
    - Yep. 7 Ws is good * - illiniranger September 21, 2025, 9:01:37
- That has to be the worst loss ever by a top 10 team right? * - meanjeans September 21, 2025, 8:32:10
  - Worst regular season lost is what I read. Texas was in a conference championship that was worse - WhitmansFolly September 21, 2025, 8:42:56
    - Georgia-TCU championship* - RVA September 21, 2025, 8:52:47
- The injuries sure won't help. And I'm feeling the same. - WhitmansFolly September 21, 2025, 8:29:15
  - Co-sign all of this. We just don’t have the horses it seems. Hard to believe it - Toonces September 21, 2025, 8:47:31

  - You aren’t wrong, but this is the closest we are going to be for a bit. Never playing - voiceofreason September 22, 2025, 18:28:27
  - A lot of "expansion era" games at home, plus tOSU. Hard to work up excitement for that. - osklister September 21, 2025, 8:20:10
There was just a play in the Cal/SDSU game very similar to Scott’s targeting call - bjl63 September 21, 2025, 0:09:55

- Minnesota was good! Better than us by FEI! - illiniranger September 20, 2025, 22:27:34

  - This is also a culmination of years of recruiting OL with very few other P5 offers. - OB25 September 20, 2025, 22:25:56
    - as the position coach, he's intimately involved in the recruiting of that position as well - snipes824 September 20, 2025, 22:29:44

      - Our OL isn't an advantage... so... no ability to stop their passing game... - uofi1998 September 20, 2025, 22:27:08
        
        I still think there’s a version of this offense that uses the quick passing game… - OB25 September 20, 2025, 22:29:32
        
        But Looney refuses to do it. Too many longer developing pass plays tonight. * - harb September 20, 2025, 22:57:48

        IU is top 4 in the B1G. I think 10-2 again. - illiniranger September 20, 2025, 22:18:50
        
        Top 4 on big ten, then a big delta to number 5 * - illiniranger September 20, 2025, 22:20:02

        Play them 100 times, we get shit pumped like this maybe twice - Blazer September 20, 2025, 21:01:37
        
        I have no idea what your talking about - illiniranger September 20, 2025, 21:05:19
        
        Nowhere have I said that this is just coaching - Blazer September 20, 2025, 21:11:56
        
        How is he better than Bret? Like, what does he do better? - illiniranger September 20, 2025, 21:16:28
        
        At the macro level? Couldn’t tell ya. - Blazer September 20, 2025, 21:20:06
        
        So you have no idea? * - illiniranger September 20, 2025, 21:20:53
        
        I started a long post with the coaching decisions that decided this game from the jump - Blazer September 20, 2025, 21:35:16
        
        If you make the CFP, you are CFP talented. What the fuck are you talking about? - illiniranger September 20, 2025, 21:37:07
      - His genius would be in identifying/developing talent. No reason for JMU/IU to be this talented* - OB25 September 20, 2025, 20:47:32
      - Silly. IU doesn’t have elite talent. They have an elite coach* - GMAW September 20, 2025, 20:47:15
        
        15 pretty good man * - illiniranger September 20, 2025, 20:48:26
        
        Sure. So is 17 on our side. The talent difference isn’t 32 points* - GMAW September 20, 2025, 20:52:00
        
        The coaching advantage isn’t 32 points either. * - illiniranger September 20, 2025, 20:52:59
        
        I have more evidence that it is than you do* - GMAW September 20, 2025, 20:54:37
        
        Ok. * - illiniranger September 20, 2025, 20:55:34
        
        So is #3* - bjl63 September 20, 2025, 20:50:08
        
        He’s a very good college WR * - illiniranger September 20, 2025, 20:50:41
  - I think valentine is the athletic profile of a #1 RB, and an example of the type of guy we need more - snipes824 September 20, 2025, 20:43:10
    - Too small IMO - illiniranger September 20, 2025, 20:45:01
  - And one of the RB2s is made of glass* - bjl63 September 20, 2025, 20:42:29
We've been outgained in 9 of our last 13 games against P4 opponents (including tonight) - UIHuskie September 20, 2025, 20:29:39
- “Analytics” (StatsofWar, KFord) had us favored in 6, underdog in 6 preseason - illiniranger September 20, 2025, 20:40:27
- Next week is as big of a game as we’ve had in the Bielema era. - OB25 September 20, 2025, 20:35:40
  - We will be at home but USC offensively is not far off from IU* - WhitmansFolly September 20, 2025, 20:39:20
    - I think we’ll play a lot better at home. * - illiniranger September 20, 2025, 20:41:09
    - We don’t know that. IU might be really, really good and has a much better coach* - OB25 September 20, 2025, 20:40:40
      - I know MSU is just OK but I’m very interested in that game tonight* - bjl63 September 20, 2025, 20:43:52
        
        I almost unretired from football gambling to bet on MSU. USC getting 20 points seemed like a lot* - OB25 September 20, 2025, 20:44:40
        
        Syracuse and Maryland for me….* - bjl63 September 20, 2025, 20:45:55
  - Problem is will we have any DBs?* - bjl63 September 20, 2025, 20:37:49
- Yikes. That has 2019 Lovie vibes. - uofi1998 September 20, 2025, 20:30:28
  - A lot of the margins are relatively small and some have mitigating circumstances - UIHuskie September 20, 2025, 20:35:53
    - The 22 team had a lot more talent. Not sure I’m making any bold proclamations here* - uofi1998 September 20, 2025, 20:39:30
      - Think we should’ve fought harder to keep McCray - illiniranger September 20, 2025, 20:43:35
        
        I almost posted last week if you would take 1 year of McCray or two of Feagin - Blazer September 20, 2025, 20:46:31
I just watched South Carolina fake screen left, screen right. - uofi1998 September 20, 2025, 20:29:23
- I don’t think South Carolina is the offense or coaching we want to aspire to* - Blazer September 20, 2025, 20:52:43
  - Quick, find an assistant coach to hold me back as I run onto the field to jaw at Blazer* - RVA September 20, 2025, 20:56:27
Some of you need to take a lap * - illiniranger September 20, 2025, 20:29:04
What exactly happened to Patterson? Did he get taken off?* - John Coctostan September 20, 2025, 20:26:37
- Yes, left the field on crutches* - OB25 September 20, 2025, 20:28:00
  - Oh no* - Blazer September 20, 2025, 20:44:11
We got this* - timmer September 20, 2025, 20:25:30
- ^^I’ll have what he’s having^^* - DocWalk20 September 20, 2025, 20:29:00
So we were just blowing smoke about Laughery being available?* - Orangeillini September 20, 2025, 20:24:56
- He might be one of those guys who is made made of glass* - Blazer September 20, 2025, 20:43:46
- X went from possibly available to possibly out for the season. * - uofi1998 September 20, 2025, 20:26:05
Why exactly did we keep the TOs in the pocket? Just asinine* - John Coctostan September 20, 2025, 20:23:11
- Time outs wouldn’t have saved much if any time. The big time losses were on long, nonproductive - DocWalk20 September 20, 2025, 20:24:53
Ok forget everyting i said below. If Luke is going to be that fucking stupid, there’s nothing lunney - John Coctostan September 20, 2025, 20:18:17
I think Bielema is going to hurt his hand again * - meanjeans September 20, 2025, 20:18:04
The fact is that even with both Scott’s, we made Duke punt once the entire game. - OB25 September 20, 2025, 20:17:18
- Went back and looked at the play-by-play, 4/5 turnovers they were driving* - RVA September 20, 2025, 20:23:07
  - We got an absolute gift penalty on a punt that gave us the ball back. * - uofi1998 September 20, 2025, 20:23:33
- This has less to do with us than it does to do with IU* - GMAW September 20, 2025, 20:22:13
  - I’m with you up to a certain point. If we lose this by.35+, a lot of it is us too* - OB25 September 20, 2025, 20:27:13
    - Why? A lot of good B1G teams lost to them by more last year* - GMAW September 20, 2025, 20:45:48
  - Feels like Oregon last year. And that kills me. IU should never be this good* - WhitmansFolly September 20, 2025, 20:25:28
  - In general yeah. But the early ST stuff is just so hard to recover from. Puts everything behind sch* - John Coctostan September 20, 2025, 20:24:36
    - While true we answered the blocked punt beautifully. But since….* - bjl63 September 20, 2025, 20:26:41
      - Sure. But having to answer is the problem. Spotting them 14, even if you recover, tilts - John Coctostan September 20, 2025, 20:27:33
    - Point being that’s an us thing not a them thing* - John Coctostan September 20, 2025, 20:25:01
      - True, but GMAW’s statement is still accurate.* - DocWalk20 September 20, 2025, 20:26:23
  - Agreed but that doesn’t fit the narrative* - bjl63 September 20, 2025, 20:24:18
  - I agree with this * - opey8 September 20, 2025, 20:23:57
- yeah i've been worried about the defense. bend but don't break can work, but it can also be abused* - snipes824 September 20, 2025, 20:20:16
- The Duke game was the very definition of a false positive. - uofi1998 September 20, 2025, 20:18:28
  - Let’s chill people. It’s never as terrible or as great as it seems - Blazer September 20, 2025, 20:23:20
    - It’s a decent team. 6-8 win talent. - uofi1998 September 20, 2025, 20:27:10
  - Meh. Lots more people predict doom for BBs team than actual doom* - CoronaTheirAss September 20, 2025, 20:20:30
    - Not sure what this means* - uofi1998 September 20, 2025, 20:20:59
      - This a good team. We’ll look better in the second half* - CoronaTheirAss September 20, 2025, 20:24:46
        
        I believe we have a terrific HC and there will be adjustments. - uofi1998 September 20, 2025, 20:31:40
  - First half against WMU wasn't great either* - opey8 September 20, 2025, 20:19:22
That can’t be how the CB is supposed to play that* - gvibes September 20, 2025, 20:16:58
Strain was never within 5 yards of the WR the whole play.* - DocWalk20 September 20, 2025, 20:16:53
Can we just go to a running clock in the 2nd half?* - voiceofreason September 20, 2025, 20:16:46
is there a running clock in college?* - Ari Gold September 20, 2025, 20:16:19
Just a little airborne * - illiniranger September 20, 2025, 20:15:50
Just so good. Not trying to be fancy just getting yards. Inspirational stuff* - John Coctostan September 20, 2025, 20:15:45
Embarrassing* - LeatherneckIllini September 20, 2025, 20:15:37
It’s like they’ve already given up * - illini thunder September 20, 2025, 20:13:32
The bottom line is this: Cignetti is the goods* - GMAW September 20, 2025, 20:13:27
- Gotta hand it to IU. They’ve got themselves a special HC* - uofi1998 September 20, 2025, 20:16:59
  - Not for long, I imagine* - opey8 September 20, 2025, 20:18:10
- Yep. Outcoached in every phase of the game. Not even close* - UofIL6 September 20, 2025, 20:16:03
- Yup* - CoronaTheirAss September 20, 2025, 20:15:59
- Word. I could not have been more wrong l about this game* - Blazer September 20, 2025, 20:15:07
We need to bring it soon because Cignetti has no qualms putting up 70* - bjl63 September 20, 2025, 20:13:25
I’m so totally perplexed by going away from teh short quick passing that was working early. No rpo - John Coctostan September 20, 2025, 20:12:50
- I just love what they’re doing with this. And no clue why we don’t with a similarly experienced qb* - John Coctostan September 20, 2025, 20:14:33
  - Helps to have a competent OL. I like our WRs but they have a couple pros* - bjl63 September 20, 2025, 20:15:49
    - It doesn’t matter how good or bad the OL is if the ball is out in 1.5s* - John Coctostan September 20, 2025, 20:16:08
- Football multiplies early mistakes. So people can say “(x) didn’t matter” since it was a blow out… - uofi1998 September 20, 2025, 20:14:33
  - This is really well said * - meanjeans September 20, 2025, 20:15:35
- Was just going to post the same - Blazer September 20, 2025, 20:14:09
I’ll take a couple shots of tiramisu now* - CoronaTheirAss September 20, 2025, 20:11:51
- Lol* - meanjeans September 20, 2025, 20:14:09
Pimping Biclops below, I think Cignetti is at UF next year. * - illiniranger September 20, 2025, 20:11:12
- God I hope so * - ATL September 20, 2025, 20:14:08
- He’s definitely older than I thought though* - CoronaTheirAss September 20, 2025, 20:12:42
I’m still holding out hope that we’ll continue to be way better in the 2nd half * - meanjeans September 20, 2025, 20:10:22
- lol * - illini thunder September 20, 2025, 20:10:53
And now Patterson is down. Will there be anyone left to play secondary?* - DocWalk20 September 20, 2025, 20:09:56
"Jacas is one of the best players in the Big Ten" - IlliniSax05 September 20, 2025, 20:09:45
- Inconsistency has been a thing for him forever but he’s the least of our problems right now* - bjl63 September 20, 2025, 20:11:04
- That was incredible * - OWWDig September 20, 2025, 20:10:49
Just falling apart * - illini thunder September 20, 2025, 20:09:25
- Doesn’t help that 2 of our 4 best defensive players are out. But that’s not why* - uofi1998 September 20, 2025, 20:10:00
It’s gonna be 42-7 before long* - bjl63 September 20, 2025, 20:09:20
this is not going as planned* - memyselfandillini September 20, 2025, 20:09:17
It could be 42-7 before we get the ball back* - JeffFrank September 20, 2025, 20:08:52
I’ve never felt Kreutz and Gesky were really B1G caliber starters - illiniranger September 20, 2025, 20:06:29
The RB has to do more there* - gvibes September 20, 2025, 20:06:20
Lunney has to know they’re bringing the house there - Blazer September 20, 2025, 20:06:19
- the idea he is HC material is a joke. * - uofi1998 September 20, 2025, 20:07:25
  - I’m sure you’d be so much better* - bjl63 September 20, 2025, 20:08:02
    - Dude, it was a total shit call. This isn’t rocket science.* - voiceofreason September 20, 2025, 20:10:35
    - No but I can read a football game. - uofi1998 September 20, 2025, 20:09:10
I do think i'm done with bart miller - snipes824 September 20, 2025, 20:06:14
- And, with the amount of returning snaps, this is entirely his craftwork* - RVA September 20, 2025, 20:07:46
They’re going to lay 50+ on us * - illini thunder September 20, 2025, 20:06:11
- Was just thinking we’re getting 60-balled* - Orangeillini September 20, 2025, 20:09:20
I may have been a bit too bullish on our WR’s…* - OB25 September 20, 2025, 20:05:55
Why do all of our routes take 5 seconds to develop * - meanjeans September 20, 2025, 20:05:46
- The crazy thing is that first drive teh RPO was working great. Then no more* - John Coctostan September 20, 2025, 20:09:09
- Because our OC is an abomination * - uofi1998 September 20, 2025, 20:06:09
  - Play calling matters. * - harb September 20, 2025, 20:07:24
I get the OL is struggling, but Luke needs to be better* - opey8 September 20, 2025, 20:05:29
- There are definitely plays he has held it too long or stepped into pressure - Blazer September 20, 2025, 20:07:55
Also, barry lunney is an incredibly poor play caller. No ability to feel a game * - uofi1998 September 20, 2025, 20:05:28
- Never forget the first down call against Rutgers that cost us our final time out - Blazer September 20, 2025, 20:10:20
  - His awfulness at Duke was masked and forgotten by Manny Zook’s blunders* - uofi1998 September 20, 2025, 20:11:42
Embarrassing * - illini thunder September 20, 2025, 20:05:15
3-9* - timmer September 20, 2025, 20:05:13
Beat USC and everything is still on track… *this is fine gif** - OB25 September 20, 2025, 20:03:39
Fucking embarrassing. Way to have them ready to play.* - voiceofreason September 20, 2025, 20:01:23
- They’re just way better than us, sadly. It’s why we couldn’t hand them 14 points.* - OB25 September 20, 2025, 20:02:14
Did that go past the LOS ? Because the blockers were 10 yards downfield* - RVA September 20, 2025, 20:01:10
- Less than 3. I watched it back thinking the same. Just a perfect call* - uofi1998 September 20, 2025, 20:01:53
Cignetti is going to be unbearable after this one. * - illini September 20, 2025, 20:01:08
- he should be. And hopefully this offseason he leaves for Florida or something * - biclops September 20, 2025, 20:02:05
They’ve been good obviously. But that ST stuff was so game changing i just don’t even know what - John Coctostan September 20, 2025, 20:00:55
- They are much better than us. Its jumps off the screen at the LOS - illiniranger September 20, 2025, 20:02:13
  - If you put them in OSU uniforms, you couldn’t tell the difference. - uofi1998 September 20, 2025, 20:04:29
    - How did they all commit to FCS JMU to start out?* - RVA September 20, 2025, 20:06:40
    - I wouldn’t go that far, but… they’re better at most positions * - illiniranger September 20, 2025, 20:05:35
Whew, just pantsed in all phases* - Blazer September 20, 2025, 20:00:29
I didn’t expect a win. I did expect to at least show up.* - DocWalk20 September 20, 2025, 20:00:25
What irks me the most is we scratch and claw our way to respectability; build a foundation, it’s a - biclops September 20, 2025, 20:00:09
Patterson with a weak effort there, not that it would’ve mattered* - bjl63 September 20, 2025, 19:59:58
What a fucking pants pissing * - illini thunder September 20, 2025, 19:59:56
It’s infuriating how good of a coach Cignetti is. I hate it here* - OB25 September 20, 2025, 19:59:48
- He’ll be in the SEC soon* - bjl63 September 20, 2025, 20:00:32
  - Doubt it. He finally got here in an advanced age and IU can pay. Why leave?* - uofi1998 September 20, 2025, 20:01:27
    - Alabama or Florida can pay more and there is still a ceiling at IU* - bjl63 September 20, 2025, 20:03:34
This game is over. * - harb September 20, 2025, 19:59:43
Fucking game over * - illini thunder September 20, 2025, 19:59:26
Beauty of a center screen. They’re pretty fucking good again * - illiniranger September 20, 2025, 19:59:23
This was the most obvious shit ever* - GMAW September 20, 2025, 19:59:23
Man perfect call. Getting smoked in all areas* - John Coctostan September 20, 2025, 19:59:16
Goodnight* - timmer September 20, 2025, 19:59:09
We don't belong* - UIHuskie September 20, 2025, 19:58:52
drink every time they say “curt cignetti “* - biclops September 20, 2025, 19:58:45
Someone text me if we come back. - ISeeDeadHawkeyes September 20, 2025, 19:58:39
- Right there with you. Turning on a movie* - WhitmansFolly September 20, 2025, 19:59:43
Aaron Henry...what would ya say ya do here? - IlliniSax05 September 20, 2025, 19:58:22
Without both Scott’s, secondary just not good enough* - Blazer September 20, 2025, 19:58:20
This is going to be ugly * - illini thunder September 20, 2025, 19:57:36
Mac Resetich getting embarrassed on every single play. Impressive* - OrangeSox September 20, 2025, 19:57:30
JFC the tackling….* - bjl63 September 20, 2025, 19:57:21
Is jacas playing? * - LovetheChief September 20, 2025, 19:57:14
15 is on the money on RPOs * - illiniranger September 20, 2025, 19:57:10
- Ours started out good too. We just have chosen to stop for some reason* - John Coctostan September 20, 2025, 19:58:12
That none tackle right there is why the penalty sucks. Safety completely afraid to make a hit - John Coctostan September 20, 2025, 19:57:07
Surprised no targeting there * - jdl September 20, 2025, 19:56:52
Need one of those Duke fumble plays here* - OB25 September 20, 2025, 19:55:51

Outclassed.* - voiceofreason September 20, 2025, 19:55:00
Somebody puked in the urinal at this bar. Folks, it’s only 7:54. Get it together. * - illiniranger September 20, 2025, 19:54:47
- Or that’s what they think of our 1st half so far * - illini thunder September 20, 2025, 19:56:07
Can’t even keep the punt out of the end zone.* - DocWalk20 September 20, 2025, 19:54:01
Punt team has been so bad today. Can't happen* - OrangeSox September 20, 2025, 19:53:59
In a city of what seems like 100 Hoosier bars - KingTalkyTiki September 20, 2025, 19:53:52
Again...Feagin does nothing of value - IlliniSax05 September 20, 2025, 19:53:14
- He's simply not a RB, I don't get why they're still pretending he is* - OrangeSox September 20, 2025, 19:54:36
  - Not just that, but our #1 RB - IlliniSax05 September 20, 2025, 19:55:37
