| Sparkling 88.6 PFF grade for Houser on Saturday.*
Posted by OB25
|
| Dropping like a rock in SP+, down to 52
Posted by Blazer
|
| At this point in the year, SP+ ratings are still about 50% based on preseason expectations

| Going back to the JUCO well again
Posted by OB25
|
| Does he play linebacker?*
Posted by Mrap24
|
| Can he meet us in East Lansing?*
Posted by ATL
|
| That’s a big boy. *

|
| Per the 247 article he was up to 420 pounds last year
Posted by illini21
|
| Hmm. Hopefully improved his footwork. *

|
| Can someone break down for me the offseason mess and our NIL position?
Posted by memyselfandillini
|
| i don't think anyone knows. i don't think it really matters.
Posted by illiniranger
|
| I think Whitman is actually the one that got pantsed in all of this.*
Posted by Carl Spackler
|
| His career aspirations may not align with boundary-pushing after the rev sharing settlement
Posted by OB25
|
| Yeah as hard as it is to believe, I think they thought everyone was about to follow the cap*
Posted by snipes824
|
| I just can’t buy they’re that naive*
Posted by uofi1998
|
| Then how do we square what we’re spending in basketball?*
Posted by Blazer
|
| Basketball might also be more-legit-ish NIL.
Posted by tvillini
|
| Seems very possible*
Posted by Blazer
|
| Couldn’t it be possible we’re spending to the cap in BB too but legit NIL for those guys
Posted by John Coctostan
|
| Definitely, and that's probably the most likely scenario
Posted by Blazer
|
| It’s a good point. I’m not entirely sure, but something was off in football
Posted by snipes824
|
| My baseless speculation reading the tea leaves
Posted by Blazer
|
| He’s going to find more money. Going 4-8 after the school’s best run will motivate*
Posted by opossum jenkins
|
| My question is whether our big money donors are those kinds of fans or not.
Posted by OB25
|
| Rumor is it’s already underway*
Posted by opossum jenkins
|
| Which version? Increased investment or people bowing out?*
Posted by OB25
|
| More money*
Posted by opossum jenkins
|
| That would be good. Prices for everything will go up after a 4-8 or 3-9 season.
Posted by OB25
|
| That’s my hope that this is wake up call
Posted by CanHartlebHireSnider
|
| 4-8? At this point, I'd take that. More likely 2-10*
Posted by OWWDig
|
| The offense had a bad day yesterday. It’ll win a couple*
Posted by opossum jenkins
|
| Counter: Defense did okay. They'll lose us more than keep us in it*
Posted by OWWDig
|
| BTW, I'm still on board. Just expecting the bottom to drop out on this season.
Posted by OWWDig
|
| I promise you we will win a game we shouldn’t*
Posted by opossum jenkins
|
| Beat MSU and Maryland, NWTF win against Iowa because our offense is better than theirs
Posted by meanjeans
|
| Here's to hoping. I know I'll be down there a couple more times cheering and hoping*
Posted by OWWDig
|
| Hoo boy Werner is pissed*
Posted by illini21
|
| Then he needs to question and investigate and report on what happened with Hauck
Posted by illini222
|
| Enough with the scoreboard crap. It doesn't have anything do with anything.
Posted by OWWDig
|
| I too am just getting done with this fucking scoreboard bullshit.
Posted by tvillini
|
| nm*
Posted by illini222
|
| The official line seems believable to me with Hauck
Posted by CanHartlebHireSnider
|
| Bigger issue is going with your 4th or 5th candidate.
Posted by AintHatin
|
| ooo
Posted by biclops
|
| I thought he sounded more defeated than pissed.
Posted by WhitmansFolly
|
| I wish he would be that opinionated in the moment like Loren Tate used to be.
Posted by uofi1998
|
| Tate was always very matter of fact about a team's capabilities, basketball or football
Posted by Blazer
|
| ooo

Link: It should be better than this
|
| Hate to say it but feels like the beginning of the end
Posted by bjl63
|
| I kinda think it’s a multi-year rebuild. With Bert.
Posted by opossum jenkins
|
| It's entirely possible in the NIL era to bring in 20-30 new guys and completely rework the team
Posted by Orangeillini
|
| We could hire 1980s era Belichick to run the defense and it won’t matter if this is our front 6-7*
Posted by uofi1998
|
| I think a good start for the future is to fire our GM. Like, now
Posted by bjl63 Also get ahead of it before the 2027 portalling begins
|
| Olano is 6-6 and hit from 57 yards today. Clearly couldn't afford that much NIL on a kicker
Posted by UofIL6
|
| I can’t complain, though, about how our guy is doing. He’s been great*
Posted by bjl63
|
| Olano is amazing but odds are not having him will cost us 0 wins. It might cost us 1
Posted by meanjeans
|
| Today he hits the first quarter FG
Posted by Blazer
|
| for the first time in his tenure, this really feels like a bielema problem
Posted by snipes824
|
| One thing I’ve always wondered about is the work culture there. He seems like a guy that believes
Posted by Herman Blume
|
| World needs plenty of bartenders*
Posted by opossum jenkins
|
| Especially when Illinois football exists*
Posted by Herman Blume
|
| Well, we don't have to worry about Bert bolting to a bigger program next year!
Posted by Tuscy
|
| Yeah in a vacuum, I still genuinely believe he’s a very good college HC
Posted by snipes824
|
| I wondered recently whether his Big Ten non-compete would even stand up
Posted by RVA
|
| I still have faith in Bert but this offseason was an epic fuckup
Posted by AintHatin
|
| He has a mulligan year but that faith is fading fast*
Posted by bjl63
|
| I hate that it was obvious. The caliber of players leaving vs. the talent we landed....
Posted by UofIL6
|
| Case in point being curt Neal and jojo Hayden
Posted by snipes824
|
| Roster side, we’ve got bad money coming off our books.
Posted by opossum jenkins
|
| Even in the 5-7 seasons, everything was still competent
Posted by Blazer
|
| Sigh…
Posted by LeatherneckIllini
|
| I choose to remember this team as I saw them last in Nashville.
Posted by nash
|
| Well I'll always associate the name Gies with foolish vanity
Posted by RVA
|
| oof*
Posted by illini21
|
| Gotta say, I 100% agree about the slapping their name on Memorial Stadium
Posted by IlliniRunner
|
| Twitter?*
Posted by Ron McDon
|
| Stahhhhhpppppp*
Posted by Blazer
|
| Oh, I have even worse takes in the tank*
Posted by RVA
|
| I think everybody should get a free pass on this one *
Posted by meanjeans
|
| I have not yet begun to post
Posted by RVA
|
| Well yeah. ABI is a real thing*
Posted by Blazer
|
| "ABV, too" - complainant*
Posted by RVA
|
| Just curious, how many beers was the first one?*
Posted by complainant
|
| Wish I could, alas, hail to the orange
Posted by RVA
|
| Ah. Yep, that'll do it.*
Posted by complainant
|
| Do we really think he’s not also giving a shit ton towards NIL?*
Posted by OB25
|
| Or that the choice is just that simple?
Posted by Blazer
|
| I got roasted for jokingly brining this up*
Posted by LeatherneckIllini
|
| As should anyone that does. *
Posted by assassin
|
| Justified then and now, because it’s just not how this works.
Posted by OB25
|
| Better players means you have more margin for error vs these middling teams. It absolutely matters*
Posted by IlliniRunner
|
| My point is that we almost certainly had a bigger budget than either of these teams.*
Posted by OB25
|
| Yeah and part of it went to retain X and Juice, who suck ass right now
Posted by bjl63
|
| Because it's fucking dumb
Posted by IlliniSax05 MAJOR UPDATE: "Maybe you're not such a bad egg, Lisle-y"
|
| Per Bielema: Valentine out for rest of year. Not great*
Posted by UofIL6
|
| We all are Bret, we all are *
Posted by meanjeans
|
| Hate to say it, but this.^^
Posted by osklister
|
| 30 days *
Posted by meanjeans
|
| Also, what’s up with the Barnett kid? Can’t get a single look (especially with Valentine down)*
Posted by Blazer
|
| All phases today were a disaster. Players, coaches, decisions…inexplicable*
Posted by OWWDig
|
| Assuming the season plays out from here how we think, total failure top to bottom
Posted by Blazer But why is that the choice? It would beg the question of why there isn’t enough NIL for both programs given the recent success and momentum, and that goes all the way to Whitman.
|
| Bielema has actually covered against Purdue twice. His 4 against the spread are a combined -78
Posted by meanjeans
|
| We are bad. Not looking good at all.*
Posted by Toonces
|
| Disappoint effort.*

|
| when does basketball start?*

|
| when does basketball start?*
Posted by Ari Gold
|
| The lack of boos is mildly interesting *
Posted by meanjeans
|
| everyone left*
Posted by OrangeSox
|
| Aren’t you supposed to go for 2 when you score a TD down 14?*
Posted by Orangeillini
|
| Down 15 I’d sat absolutely, down 14 the numbers probably say yes but I wouldn’t *
Posted by meanjeans
|
| I will say getting the onside kick and winning would be perfectly in line with NWTFITWTF*
Posted by meanjeans
|
| Most discouraging game since the Lovie era*
Posted by Herman Blume
|
| I know we’ve had “worse” performances because we’ve been 60-balled, but in context, this is
Posted by meanjeans
|
| Total and complete horseshit. Can't do this to your fans and expect them to come back.
Posted by osklister
|
| Geez what a shit day. And now we have to angry drink.
Posted by illini
|
| I’m weirdly not even slightly mad. Hello numbness my old friend *
Posted by meanjeans
|
| Welp. This season is gonna be ugly. Prove me wrong boys, prove me wrong. *
Posted by MC
|
| Hiring progressively weaker staffs is what got Bert fired at Arkansas*
Posted by opossum jenkins
|
| I know this is the narrative, but I don’t get it
Posted by Blazer
|
| What about progressively worse personnel on the field?*
Posted by OWWDig
|
| The original sin feels to me like choosing Henry over Kane
Posted by CanHartlebHireSnider
|
| I think Kane is lucky to have a job. *
Posted by Memphian
|
| Well he kicked our ass today*
Posted by CanHartlebHireSnider
|
| He sure did.
Posted by Memphian
|
| Also he had the #33 SP+ defense last year at Minnesota
Posted by CanHartlebHireSnider
|
| He wasn't a DC at Minnesota - he coached OLBs and nickels. *
Posted by Memphian
|
| Can you explain why he’s lucky to have a job?*
Posted by CanHartlebHireSnider
|
| I don't think he'd be the DC at Purdue if anyone other than Barry Odom was the HC.
Posted by Memphian
|
| Completely agree. Aaron wasn’t ready, and that led to Hauck debacle
Posted by UofIL6
|
| WTF was that. The O looked good against a top rated team and shit the bed this week. *
Posted by harb
|
| Hauser and Lunney both awful today *
Posted by jdl
|
| "Hauser"
Posted by IlliniSax05 MAJOR UPDATE: "Maybe you're not such a bad egg, Lisle-y"
|
| It’s just a word and it’s not strong enough, but it’s inexcusable. Lunney literally needs to be
Posted by meanjeans
|
| It’s really unbelievable. Night and day offense*
Posted by OWWDig
|
| lmao what are you doing Houser?*
Posted by Ron McDon
|
| 2nd loss you have to pin on the offense. 10 points against purdue? gtfooh.*
Posted by Ari Gold
|
| I’d love to know Bielema’s record against Purdue, against the spread *
Posted by meanjeans
|
| We replaced our Houser with decaffeinated coffee crystals. *
Posted by assassin
|
| YIkes Katin *
Posted by jdl
|
| I just don't get this offense falling off a cliff. *
Posted by Memphian
|
| Fuking sucks. *
Posted by harb
|
| Boy am I glad I couldn’t go down to the game today*
Posted by OWWDig
|
| Can we fire our OC next *
Posted by meanjeans
|
| What about the HC?
Posted by bjl63
|
| That’s a bingo! He’ll be gone in a year if this continues. I trust Whitman on that.
Posted by Kajagoogoo
|
| Give it time *
Posted by meanjeans
|
| 2-10*
Posted by bjl63
|
| If anyone thought the first of its kind official review was going to go our way they haven’t
Posted by meanjeans
|
| If you had told me before the game that Purdue would score 23 points….*
Posted by opossum jenkins
|
| You’d say they lied*
Posted by OWWDig
|
| Bad team. And I’m now very scared for the future*
Posted by snipes824
|
| Feels like all the momentum of the best 2-season run in decades has completely evaporated *
Posted by meanjeans
|
| That’s game, Hendrix*
Posted by Blazer
|
| Season = over*
Posted by bjl63
|
| Is Scott on the take*
Posted by reggiedunlop
|
| Now we just pray that one bad season doesn’t drive the entire program off a cliff *
Posted by biclops
|
| Silver lining - even more NIL $ for hoops*
Posted by Herman Blume
|
| Narrator…*
Posted by assassin
|
| Disaster season incoming*
Posted by AintHatin
|
| I'm fine with one bad season
Posted by RVA
|
| BB is a good coach but we will struggle to win again*
Posted by LeatherneckIllini
|
| My only ray of hope is that BB is always good for one impossibly bad performance per year, maybe
Posted by meanjeans
|
| Xavier Scott, what would ya say, ya do here?*
Posted by Blazer
|
| Make bank*
Posted by OWWDig
|
| *click* someone text me in 2029 to tell me who the new coach is*
Posted by ISeeDeadHawkeyes
|
| great job on the 11 and out, defense*
Posted by memyselfandillini
|
| The time doesn’t really matter it’s not giving up the field goal. *
Posted by assassin
|
| Or the touchdown. *sad trombone*
Posted by assassin
|
| If the turnover fair abandons us like she has this season, we don’t have much of a chance
Posted by OB25
|
| Fvck off Turnover Fairy *
Posted by jdl
|
| the fairy isn't responsible for incompetence*
Posted by OrangeSox
|
| Good to know *
Posted by jdl
|
| fuck you TO fairy*
Posted by biclops
|
| WHARGHBBLLLLL*
Posted by assassin
|
| Did the wind blow the ball off the tee as he was kicking causing that abomination?*
Posted by OWWDig
|
| Why doesn’t our secondary have arms*
Posted by Blazer
|
| Or hands*
Posted by ISeeDeadHawkeyes
|
| Xavier Scott is just bad money on our books*
Posted by opossum jenkins
|
| Some brutal missed tackles there*
Posted by Blazer
|
| What was that Kante? *
Posted by jdl
|
| And again on 2nd down
Posted by IlliniSax05 MAJOR UPDATE: "Maybe you're not such a bad egg, Lisle-y"
|
| What in the world are we doing. (This comment could apply to about 8 different things)*
Posted by OB25
|
| Talent is one thing, but this team is so football stupid top to bottom
Posted by Blazer
|
| Just felt like spotting them some yards?*
Posted by biclops
|
| That’s insane*
Posted by snipes824
|
| Doing everything we can to lose*
Posted by Ron McDon
|
| dear God, what was that*
Posted by OrangeSox
|
| Good job kicker
Posted by Blazer
|
| Could (should?) have been 16-16*
Posted by ISeeDeadHawkeyes
|
| Stop running it*
Posted by reggiedunlop
|
| insane.*
Posted by Ari Gold
|
| Calling any run plays at all is incomprehensible clock management *
Posted by meanjeans
|
| and no urgency.*
Posted by Ari Gold
|
| Surely the next time we run straight into the middle of the line will work
Posted by IlliniSax05 MAJOR UPDATE: "Maybe you're not such a bad egg, Lisle-y"
|
| To Loughery’s left was open field. He veered right to join the cool kids *
Posted by memyselfandillini
|
| Jesus what are these run calls*
Posted by Blazer
|
| Use your hands 88*
Posted by Blazer
|
| We are doing great burning clock*
Posted by memyselfandillini
|
| This year sucks
Posted by TarheelIllini
|
| Sure would be nice to only be down 16-10 *
Posted by meanjeans
|
| Or 16-13
Posted by Blazer
|
| I can’t believe this isn’t the defense’s fault. *
Posted by assassin
|
| Little did I know thinking this team would win 5 games was actually wildly optimistic*
Posted by Ron McDon
|
| I’m sick. Did not think we’d be great but 2-10!?!? Ugh*
Posted by OWWDig
|
| This team gave up 38, 52, 49 in their last 3 games. One of those was against Wake Forest*
Posted by OB25
|
| It is analytically one of the worst defenses in CFB
Posted by Blazer
|
| OL might have been celebrating a night early*
Posted by memyselfandillini
|
| This is really rough*
Posted by Blazer
|
| Houser sucks, respectfully*
Posted by OrangeSox
|
| This is a Pod Person *
Posted by assassin
|
| gotta get rid of that *
Posted by memyselfandillini
|
| Just throw every play*
Posted by reggiedunlop
|
| Houser might be shaving points*
Posted by opossum jenkins
|
| Some major WTF throws today*
Posted by OB25
|
| I think everyone was open there. *
Posted by assassin
|
| Man houser is nowhere close today*
Posted by snipes824
|
| Yeah, saw that one as it happened *
Posted by jdl
|
| Who and what is a Ty Robinson*
Posted by ISeeDeadHawkeyes
|
| He caught the Hail Mary TD*
Posted by assassin
|
| Missed that entire half *
Posted by ISeeDeadHawkeyes
|
| Of course. *
Posted by assassin
|
| Personal foul?*
Posted by biclops
|
| Targeting?*
Posted by ISeeDeadHawkeyes
|
| How do you get tackled there? Jesus Christ*
Posted by opossum jenkins
|
| Sometimes you just need to go air raid*
Posted by reggiedunlop
|
| Can we trade our scoreboard for a real D?*
Posted by OWWDig
|
| Banned. *
Posted by assassin
|
| 1943 defense looks familiar*
Posted by OB25
|
| Lulz. *

|
| I'm at the game. Crowd showed up, team has not*
Posted by OrangeSox
|
| "You know what NFL stands for, don't you? NOT FOR LONG."
Posted by osklister
|
| correct.*
Posted by Ari Gold
|
| embarrassing performance today. pathetic in every way*
Posted by OrangeSox
|
| I’m going to need an explanation why we didn’t kick the field goal*
Posted by BradUnderwoodforprez
|
| Assume Bret told Barry he had 2 plays
Posted by jdl
|
| Jordan Anderson is not a running back, we already know yhis*
Posted by reggiedunlop
|
| How the hell is that the decision? *
Posted by illini
|
| Must be because he doesn’t trust the kicker there. No other reason*
Posted by opossum jenkins
|
| We also haven’t kept Purdue from scoring yet in this game.
Posted by OB25
|
| Exactly this, run isn't working and Anderson ain't it*
Posted by reggiedunlop
|
| Nwtfitwtf*
Posted by OWWDig
|
| So I’ll say it. This is unacceptable in Year 6 of Bielema. Total dogshit product.*
Posted by voiceofreason
|
| The completely inability to recruit OR develop the OL and DL is just baffling and inexcusable.
Posted by OB25
|
| agreed.*
Posted by Ari Gold
|
| wtf *
Posted by jdl
|
| Kick the fucking field goal oh my god. Horrible.*
Posted by Toonces
|
| Unwatchable football*
Posted by Chilango
|
| How do you not cut it to a one score game when you have the opportunity. Panic I guess *
Posted by meanjeans
|
| Worst performance since Kansas 2023*
Posted by opossum jenkins
|
| This would be program-altering *
Posted by meanjeans
|
| This is the kind of loss that starts a death spiral
Posted by ISeeDeadHawkeyes
|
| Death spiral has begun. 2-10 season and no way out. *
Posted by assassin
|
| Purdue has lost 19 straight conference games*
Posted by Blazer
|
| Not important to get within one score, apparently*
Posted by Herman Blume
|
| looks like it's suicide again for ol' Moe
Posted by assassin
|
| Just the definition of a meaningless yards offense
Posted by Blazer
|
| This game is depressing. *
Posted by harb
|
| we’re so fucked*
Posted by biclops
|
| WHY DO WE KEEP DOING THIS*
Posted by OB25
|
| What are we doing?*
Posted by Ron McDon
|
| 3 runs*
Posted by Herman Blume
|
| Lunney is a genius until he overthinks shit. *
Posted by harb
|
| ugh*
Posted by biclops
|
| what the fuck play call was that*
Posted by assassin
|
| The defense is obviously bad, but this should be a good enough performance for today
Posted by OB25
|
| It’s the slow death of flowers from alger on. reverting back to our mean. hope for next year*
Posted by LeatherneckIllini
|
| I hope i’m wrong*
Posted by LeatherneckIllini
|
| Anyone got an extra $40 million to fix this?*
Posted by biclops
|
| Too late to return the scoreboard to Best Buy?*
Posted by memyselfandillini
|
| Just bleeding to death*
Posted by Blazer
|
| It’s a talent problem first, but the defensive coaching also stinks
Posted by snipes824
|
| But also, we’ve scored 7 points*
Posted by Herman Blume
|
| Swarming their run game and they still get positive yards every time*
Posted by Blazer
|
| I know I keep harping on it but plenty of coaches do more with less *
Posted by meanjeans
|
| Yes
Posted by snipes824
|
| See we kept the Aaron Henry third down package*
Posted by reggiedunlop
|
| Unreal*
Posted by OB25
|
| I’m going to be honest I’m not sure why we weren’t flagged for a late hit there *
Posted by meanjeans
|
| Contact started while the runner was well in bounds
Posted by IlliniSax05 MAJOR UPDATE: "Maybe you're not such a bad egg, Lisle-y"
|
| Started the tackle in bounds. It was fine. *

|
| Massive 3D-*

| Sorry best we can do is a 3 man rush *
Posted by meanjeans
|
| and poop. *
Posted by assassin
|
| Wtf was the de doing on that play, he ran out of the hole*
Posted by reggiedunlop
|
| Had like three guys in position—all missed the play
Posted by Blazer
|
| Good thing we played the field position game*
Posted by OWWDig
|
| I’m going to attempt to manifest a pick 6 here *
Posted by meanjeans
|
| You need to me in the same zip code as the WR in order to get one of those*
Posted by OB25
|
| I guess we’ve chosen “die” *
Posted by assassin
|
| Abysmal*
Posted by Ron McDon
|
| This really makes me question OSU’s DL*
Posted by biclops
|
| I think our entire offense got hammered last night *
Posted by meanjeans
|
| It’s the only rational explanation *
Posted by OWWDig
|
| I’ll take it*

| This team is ass*

| Bret doesn’t have an update on Valentine’s injury but “I know it’s significant“ *

Posted by opossum jenkins
|
| Ugh*
Posted by Blazer
|
| Can’t believe Purdue let us run out the clock like that*
Posted by OB25
|
| Cant believe Barry Lunney couldn’t get a timeout there.*

| Should have asked Luther Powell Jr.
Posted by IlliniSax05 MAJOR UPDATE: "Maybe you're not such a bad egg, Lisle-y"
|
| LOL!*

| Purdue coach was five yards on the field lol*

| Why does Houser keep overthrowing people *

| Houser gonna get picked if he keeps missing like this*

Posted by assassin
|

Posted by snipes824

| Two equally matched teams
Posted by biclops
|
| Just two bad teams playing football*

| How profoundly disappointing has Joe Barna been since his freshman year?*
Posted by opossum jenkins
|
| Any opponent drive that doesn’t result in a TD is a win at this point*
Posted by OB25
|
| For sure*
Posted by Orangeillini
|
| The good news is that Hauck’s departure hasn’t noticeably impacted our defense
Posted by biclops
|
| If Purdue is going to run at will all day, we’ll just have to out score them
Posted by Blazer
|
| This defense is something*
