Orange Out Saturday *

I assume that means we'll go with the all orange unis. I like those, but would love

ooo

Not a slant Illinois fan, but it looks good with the all orange*

|
Bielema seems to have a thing for the slant ILLINOIS for some reason*

|
the reason is its obvious supremacy *

I wish we played better in OBB...

First time I recall seeing OBB: 1983 Michigan game.

just score a TD in the 1st quarter and make it respectable*
Posted by ECEIllinois
|
if we don't score on our first possession, i don't think we score at all
Posted by assassin
|
We aren’t going to be able to defend them
Posted by Mrap24
|
Everyone knows they are going to open up the playbook for Sayin some time before the PSU game
Posted by OB25
|
we need substantial ball control to avoid 50 or 60-balling. doubt we can do it. hope I'm wrong.*
Posted by Orangeillini
|
Yup. *
Posted by Tuscy
|
Currently, their defense is historically excellent. I don't know how much we can score*
Posted by ArtVandelay
|
It's going to be Oregon-last year like... and that assumes we can get a stop at some point.
Posted by uofi1998
|
Yeah, i'm here too. Depleted secondary against a QB who has been really good
Posted by Gene Parmesan
|
Objectively, I’m here. With my heart, I think we can keep it respectable*

With my heart, I hope we can keep it respectable*

It’s hard to envision how we ever get a stop on defense.*

maybe Aaron Henry has just been playing a long con all season

You gotta keep the con after you take his money.

Just don't get horribly killed*

|
Nah, Ohio State is not ready for this environment.*
Posted by Warrin'_Illini
|
Certainly... if there's one thing OSU has never experienced, it's a big time road environment*

Ryan Day is going to crap his pants when he sees our crowd, the pageantry, and our

The Marching Illini / mariachi de Joliet collab at halftime will be turnt*
Posted by ArtVandelay
|
He does have a chubby little punchable face...*
Posted by uofi1998
|
Yeah, also Ohio State should not have a white QB named Julian.
Posted by Warrin'_Illini
|
I think Washington game is a good barometer
Posted by ijustkrushalot
|
ooo
Posted by EffinIllini
|
Washington offense is better than ours by FEI. That includes their horror show vs OSU *
Posted by illiniranger
|
I think we’ll play ok enough but they’ll be in control start to finish
Posted by illiniranger
|
If we have a PSU-like game I’d consider that a win *

Yep*

Hoping for a 27-13 kind of game
Posted by bjl63
|
it's gonna be like 45-10*
Posted by VIV
|
Better than 63-10, I guess*
Posted by ATL
|
Agreed. Hope it's like the first score you proposed and we at least hang around.*
Posted by EffinIllini
|
Mariachi De Joliet performing at halftime!*

Marching Illini have other plans that day.

We're gonna win*

German? Portnoy gave Monical's a 7.4*

Here’s the old orchard review
Posted by illini21
|
Great score. I don’t think he goes over 7.8 for tavern style. *
Posted by harb
|
it's fine. as ijka said its too expensive for what it is but it hits the spot every once in a while*

My 2 favorite C-U pizzas: Vinny's (by the slice) and Jets. I go back and forth.
Posted by Philo
|
i used to work at 2nd and green and would walk to the old location at 3 for half price slices*
Posted by lcubed
|
it's fine, they charge too much for a pizza that's 1mm thick.
Posted by ijustkrushalot
|
Got it for the first time in a few years recently. Couldn't believe the price*
Posted by illini21
|
His ratings suck. He gave Casey's a 5. Said it was "too bacon-y"*
Posted by DanSaint
|
meh. he likes thinner and crispier pizza with new haven style being his favorite.*
Posted by Ari Gold
|
Will the last city in the US that does not have a pizza style turn out the ligths before leaving?
Posted by osklister
|
I understand the dig you're trying to make, but pulling that card on New Haven is a swing and miss*
Posted by VIV
|
I don’t think he’s made contact since the late 70s. *

oooo
Posted by Blazer

He did Old Orchard as well

Link? *
Posted by harb
|
Hasn’t been posted yet*
Posted by illini21
|
Did he score the Papa Del’s thin crust he had last time?*
Posted by ECEIllinois
|
Yes, gave it around a 7.1. Not sure why wasn’t told to get the deep*
Posted by ibdoc
|
He said they called and were told it’s 50/50 on what people order*
Posted by OB25
|
Dots….
Posted by harb
|
He’s not a fan of deep dish. Would’ve definitely given it a lower score*
Posted by illini21
|
Yes, 7.1

Whoever could have seen this going badly?*

Really thought UNC would have gotten a couple of years out of him, not busted by 1st week of Oct. *

Honestly, this is pretty much what I expected.

What I think I love most about this
Posted by bjl63
|
It's pretty crazy, the NFL doesn't want him because nobody gets the keys to everything anymore.
Posted by Warrin'_Illini
|
As noted, maybe he wants that record (and teams would expect him to retire the next day).

"Multiple coaches unable to contact him during the bye week." Shoulda tried the girlfriend's number

Putting Belichick in the media would be hilarious.*

... pregame show wearing a suitcoat with the sleeves ripped off....
Posted by osklister

he was doing some film breakdown stuff last year that people liked

For the same reasons he'd dating a woman in her 20s*

Stephen Godfrey on the Belichick disaster

He's making Lovie look like Bear Bryant.*

Hiring Lovie made a lot more sense than UNC hiring Belichick did*

Heard both the Score afternoon and morning shows reference Luke as a Heisman candidate
Posted by AintHatin
|
Locked in at Luke 200 to 1 in July. Now he's 100 to 1 ??
Posted by redgrange77

Tom Fornelli boosting Luke big time helped*

Living in Ohio, I’m surrounded by them.
Posted by opossum jenkins

In my experience that 4th Q drive in 2007 gave them permanent trauma*

Plus 1988-94 results*

100%. I remember watching the Walter Young game in 2002 with a bunch of OSU
Posted by Blazer
|
The whole 4th quarter will be garbage time. I don’t think we even hit 10 with their starters in.*
Posted by voiceofreason
|
Yeah, they are nuts*
Posted by gvibes
|
Washington has a better OFEI ranking than we do*, played tOSU at home, and scored 6.
Posted by EffinIllini *and that's after playing tOSU
|
The most they've allowed is 9 by Real Ohio. They've allowed 2 touchdowns this year.

Off-topic: Three coaches who could replace James Franklin at PSU. LOL. (First one is Nick Saban. :-)

Franklin's buyout is $56M.

He could win a title at PSU.*

Can he coach?? Wait, let me Google him...

Not a strong graphic design program at Michigan I guess

Hard to think there is a college kicker any better than him*

Pretty sure he could start for the Titans right now.*

this post goes viral every week, but explosives >>>> success rate

we’ve been on the wrong side of that graph against every P4 opponent *

if you have 6 plays > 45 yards, you're going to score a ton, which we did

|
Werner: Resetich and Laughery likely both play on Saturday

|
I just don’t get Patterson. He looks like a below average Sun Belt guy
Posted by opossum jenkins
|
if you remember Zach Tobe - that txfer hurt us bad *
Posted by illiniranger
|
I do. He was on the field as Tech beat Clemson*
Posted by opossum jenkins
|
we struck out on our DB recruiting and we are playing Patterson (a JUCO) and Cox (who has MAC talent

...and our first team all Big Ten DB is out for the year... and somehow we've gotten this far.*

I've heard loose language on podcasts that maybe he's hurt*

I just saw what Julian Sayin looks like (a fat Julian Casablancas).

Just Sayin *

Oregon/IU should be tremendous content in the aftermath of our huge win.*
Posted by Warrin'_Illini
|
Autzen is such a tough place to play. *
Posted by illiniranger

Always feels like the whole Oregon team is on a 1.25x speed setting everytime I watch a game there*
Posted by OB25
|
It's crazy to me that they have never won a national championship
Posted by Sounder
|
Yeah Lanning will get one eventually
Posted by illini21
|
Uncle Phil really wants to see them win before he dies (he's 87)*
Posted by Sounder
|
Oregon v Miami for the national title would be an all-timer*
Posted by opossum jenkins

It never rains in Autzen Stadium*

but it pours
Posted by Sammich

I hope Oregon wins 64-9.*

What made our run game so successful against U$C but not so much against PU*
Posted by RSMBob
|
PU came down hill very hard with LBs, which opened up a lot of passing behind them*
Posted by illiniranger
|
Yep. Lots of defensive formations that had 9-10 guys within 8-9 yards of LOS*

didn't start this thread for y'all to throw players under the bus

Dats rite. We should see if we can wear some Michigan-esque uniforms on Saturday.

Ryan Day can't beat Michigan. If we look like Michigan, maybe it will help.*
Posted by Warrin'_Illini
|
ooo
Posted by IlliniSax05 MAJOR UPDATE: "Maybe you're not such a bad egg, Lisle-y"
|
An orange & blue helmet shaped like the Michigan one should do the trick.*
Posted by Warrin'_Illini
|
Just wear princeton unis*
Posted by Chilango
|
that would be possibly the dumbest thing anyone has ever done in the history of time
Posted by IlliniSax05 MAJOR UPDATE: "Maybe you're not such a bad egg, Lisle-y"

You won't think it's dumb when Bret is hoisting the Illibuck!*
Posted by Warrin'_Illini

I’m just not sure how we defend them
Posted by Mrap24
|
Hope the run game is working and you can get some first downs. Control the ball, and try
Posted by UofIL6

Got to say my patience with Laughery is exhausted. He’s the least available RB since Dre Brown.
Posted by opossum jenkins
|
He was hurt a lot when he was in HS, as well*
Posted by HoseB
|
See also: Epstein, Mike.
Posted by Memphian
|
Except in epstein’s limited time on the field, he was clearly better than laughery
Posted by snipes824
|
Would have been really nice to figure out a way to keep McCray from transferring
Posted by ATL
|
For fun: this season, 21 total carries (and I have no idea if he's injured/whatever).
Posted by osklister
|
Most of those in the red zone
Posted by RVA
|
He’s much better than Feagin, they can’t afford to play him over an Illinois 4*
Posted by illiniranger
|
Calil is the best RB on the team anyway. Time for him to get the most carries.*
Posted by uofi1998
|
i'm OK with him being in the mix until he's an upperclassmen
Posted by illiniranger
|
Except for the fumbles.
Posted by Chilango
|
We have to control the clock
Posted by snipes824

No team has scored double figures against tOSU yet this year.
Posted by EffinIllini
|
SP+ has it ILL +12. That wouldn’t be a bad outcome *
Posted by illiniranger
|
Honestly, staying within 2 scores and looking like we belong out there would be OK.
Posted by uofi1998
|
I feel better about this one than I did IU*
Posted by GMAW
|
Any particular reason or just gut hunch? *
Posted by meanjeans
|
You didn't ask me, but I feel similarly. A few reasons...
Posted by AintHatin
|
Same*
Posted by opossum jenkins
|
I'm going to ride with you... have any winning Mega Millions numbers while you're at it?
Posted by uofi1998
|
I didn't say we would win. I just think we'll be far more competitve*
Posted by GMAW
|
Listen... I'm good with that.
Posted by uofi1998
|
That makes one of us. I like our team and anything can happen, but tOSU is really good*
