Cuz if they're gonna be doing virtual measurements when they're a foot and a half short of the line to gain I'm gonna be very annoyed

Why do you hate me, Sammich?

MAJOR UPDATE: "Maybe you're not such a bad egg, Lisle-y"

Sounds like Jaylon Johnson and Tyrique Stevenson got hurt at practice today. - Warrin'_Illini August 27, 2026, 13:01:25
- The vibes feel off and I can see this being like a 7-10 team. But that still can be ok long-term. - OB25 August 27, 2026, 14:19:04
  - The late Trapillo injury and Dahlman retirement really set them back this offseason. - Warrin'_Illini August 27, 2026, 14:29:40
    - As a far less attentive fan than many here, I feel like the Dahlman thing is the sharpest dagger* - Herman Blume Yesterday, 22:40:29
      - It was a huge blow. Massive downgrade to current roster + had to use a key 2nd round asset… - OB25 Yesterday, 23:28:24
        
        Also had to trade a late pick for Bradbrrry.* - Toonces Today, 11:16:55
  - Unfortunately FA is largely a wasteland, so the cap space is tough to spend well* - Carl Spackler August 27, 2026, 14:24:52
    - Yeah but you can’t spend it much worse than you did on some of the guys you’d be clearing. - OB25 August 27, 2026, 14:31:59
      - It was a really good draft though* - gvibes Today, 11:00:19
  - I think there’s a good chance we have a team similar to 2013* - CanHartlebHireSnider August 27, 2026, 14:22:10
- Bears game vibes this year: “Yo dawg, I heard you like points.”* - Carl Spackler August 27, 2026, 13:05:07
  - That’s how it starts. Then you keep setting records for losing games when the offense - voiceofreason Today, 08:41:58
Roger Goodell seems very eager to have a Super Bowl in Hammond - CanHartlebHireSnider August 27, 2026, 09:42:13
- I wonder how Hoosiers feel about this. You'd be owning the libs, but at your own expense. - Warrin'_Illini August 27, 2026, 09:51:08
Draftniks - do you ever listen to the McShay podcast? - bjl63 August 26, 2026, 19:21:43
- I found it way, way too rambly. Just like 15 mins of “what the fuck did I just listen to?”* - Carl Spackler August 26, 2026, 19:39:19
Nike Air Max 90 Bears' rivalry series - IlliniSax05 August 26, 2026, 11:31:46
- So they expect adults to want to wear something like that?* - Herman Blume August 26, 2026, 12:23:32
  - If they had a block I on them, they'd probably get multiple takers just from this board* - IlliniOllie August 27, 2026, 14:22:50
    - Fair* - Herman Blume Yesterday, 22:38:32
  - Have you seen some of the shit that grown adults wear to Bears games?* - OB25 August 26, 2026, 12:27:11
    - Good point* - Herman Blume Yesterday, 22:38:16
  - the people that suplex each other through tables, yes. - assassin August 26, 2026, 12:27:04
I hope we don’t have to analyze every Caleb throw like the Zapruder film again this year, but… - OB25 August 25, 2026, 12:45:46
- I feel like the focus should be more on cleaning up that holding penalty - CanHartlebHireSnider August 25, 2026, 12:52:18
New Bears uniforms stink like poop.* - Toonces August 25, 2026, 09:27:04
- I’m fine with it in isolation but I really hope the NFL and MLB stay disciplined on this. - OB25 August 25, 2026, 17:59:25
- They look like Illini uni's* - QcIlliniFan August 25, 2026, 15:11:34
- Throwback to Dave Wilson days. - osklister August 25, 2026, 14:59:47
- The Bears' regular uniforms are more "rivalry" than any updated historical look - IlliniSax05 August 25, 2026, 11:42:30
- I dislike the orange helmets but don't mind the uniforms* - CanHartlebHireSnider August 25, 2026, 10:57:48
  - Think I may have overreacted due to incomplete information. - Toonces August 25, 2026, 11:03:56
    - Unpopular opinion: it might be time to get rid of the GSH - Sounder August 25, 2026, 15:08:54
      - man, we just got rid of Columbus Day like five years ago* - Sammich August 25, 2026, 15:11:01
      - as in...remove it from the uniforms completely? that's dumb - IlliniSax05 August 25, 2026, 15:10:46
  - They REALLY never want to put the Bears head logo on a helmet - KingTalkyTiki August 25, 2026, 11:01:27
    - Looks like no teams changed their helmet logo other than coloring - CanHartlebHireSnider August 25, 2026, 11:08:36
      - Here's all of them......Houston did, kinda - KingTalkyTiki August 25, 2026, 11:52:36
- For reference: - KingTalkyTiki August 25, 2026, 10:56:44
  - monsters never die?! - Sammich August 25, 2026, 12:18:51
- I like the pants. They're basically Illini football pants from the 90's.* - Warrin'_Illini August 25, 2026, 10:24:01
- unpopular opinion, i kinda like them* - VIV August 25, 2026, 09:29:27
  - The big patch is back. Was looking forward to it being gone this year.* - Toonces August 25, 2026, 09:32:47
    - They are only wearing this kit on Xmas, so you'll only have to deal with it once.* - KingTalkyTiki August 25, 2026, 11:53:18
Feels like LT very much still up in the air, probably goes to Braxton by default* - Carl Spackler August 24, 2026, 08:28:45
- Is Ozzy still not back back? I thought he (miraculously) was 100% back.* - Warrin'_Illini August 24, 2026, 08:32:12
  - he was (miraculously) cleared to practice, but is not 100% back - IlliniSax05 August 24, 2026, 09:05:02
    - Ok, but cleared to practice is basically ready to go. Do we think he'll suit up week 1?* - Warrin'_Illini August 24, 2026, 09:25:39
      - it's definitely not basically ready to go. he'll likely start the season on IR - IlliniSax05 August 24, 2026, 09:58:11
        
        Seems dumb. If you can practice, you can play.* - Warrin'_Illini August 24, 2026, 10:02:56
        
        ooo - IlliniSax05 August 24, 2026, 10:05:10
  - Actually, he (miraculously) is now 100% black.* - VIV August 24, 2026, 08:54:43
    - Will probably help with blood circulation in that surgically repaired knee.* - Warrin'_Illini August 24, 2026, 09:09:35
DeVito just dropped a dime for a TD * - assassin August 22, 2026, 19:22:35
- CUTLETS!* - memyselfandillini August 24, 2026, 08:39:33
Not exactly the narrative changing drive I was hoping for* - gvibes August 22, 2026, 18:17:13
The missed throw to Loveland could/should have been better - IlliniSax05 August 22, 2026, 18:16:01
- The Loveland throw didn’t look like a miss to me. Was about the only place he could put that ball* - OB25 August 22, 2026, 18:25:38
  - Other than the wide open guy underneath, yes.* - voiceofreason August 23, 2026, 22:18:22
Was a pretty nice drive by the Bears starters until the holding penalty - CanHartlebHireSnider August 22, 2026, 18:15:42
to be clear, they practiced *against each other* two days ago* - Orangeillini August 22, 2026, 17:57:06
- who would pay more than the stubhub minimum for a preseason game?* - assassin August 22, 2026, 18:05:57
  - We went last Saturday for the total cost of 200 United Miles - Dilbert August 22, 2026, 19:24:28
  - Season ticket holders who get fucked over by the preseason.* - voiceofreason August 22, 2026, 19:09:20
