| Well I posted my MSU review in a group chat so I might as well copy it here

|
| Good stuff Taz, glad you found a great tailgating spot and saw a win. Also, great hats.

| I could only enjoy one of the Sparta beers since I had to drive home after the game

| Do you have Michael Clayton fever? Are you doing the Bagman shuffle?

| He’s not the guy you kill*

| Oregon game at 2/2:30

| Maybe Oregon can lose to Nebraska and be this year’s version of 2025 Penn State when they get here

Posted by OB25
|
| I’ve watched the 2 pt stop at least 10 times and I think it was a missed PI call *
Posted by ATL
|
| I'm still absolutely shocked they ran that play in that spot.*
Posted by uofi1998
|
| One of the most bizarre calls in a long time *
Posted by jdl
|
| On rewatch it was right at the LOS
Posted by jdl
|
| exactly this. by rule, it can't be PI unless the receiver is across the neutral zone.
Posted by VIV
|
| Good point. I was keying on the timing of the contact and not to the location of the receiver.*
Posted by ATL
|
| Bang-bang play you can only tell in super slow mo and they weren’t close to scoring if he catches it
Posted by illiniranger
|
| I'm glad they were on top of it. I puckered pretty badly in real time and was expecting a flag.*
Posted by Warrin'_Illini
|
| Agreed. *
Posted by harb
|
| On rewatch, the receiver is close to being behind the LOS. There’s no PI behind the LOS
Posted by illiniranger
|
| Wait, really? So you can just demolish a guy on a screen pass if you get to him before the ball?
Posted by meanjeans
|
| It happens a fair amount when defenses sniff out screens... that's often when you see a QB dirt it*
Posted by uofi1998
|
| Yes, yes you can
Posted by jdl
|
| Yes. You can tackle a player behind the line of scrimmage before he gets the ball *
Posted by illiniranger
|
| I can't believe they ran the Philly special*
Posted by reggiedunlop
|
| It was the most amateur hour call you could ever dream up.
Posted by OB25
|
| Feels like the calculus for the season changes quite a bit with a rookie QB.

|
| Fitzgerald flipped off the Illini sideline *
Posted by Poldark "The game was fun and glad that Fitzee decided he'd had enough football and wanted to go slap asses in the shower room."
|
| I still think he was flipping off the refs, not our sideline.*
Posted by voiceofreason
|
| That would make the fine higher, so cool.*
Posted by SurfTheBoneyard “Surf is just a national treasure.” — Jackie
|
| I think so too, but I prefer the story that he was flipping us off
Posted by IlliniSax05 MAJOR UPDATE: "Maybe you're not such a bad egg, Lisle-y"

| Chode is such a great description of him. *

|
| no shit. derailed one of the better bears teams in my lifetime too.*
Posted by Ari Gold
|
| Hopefully Clayton does better for us than Caleb Hanie did for the Bears*
Posted by Orangeillini
|
| so bad. that game in denver about killed me.^

Posted by CanHartlebHireSnider

| Good time to go into a bye week.
Posted by tvillini
|
| We might have a chance to beat MD
Posted by jdl
|
| We will win that if Lox is still employed*
Posted by bjl63
|
| at least we'll get a better draft pick now*
Posted by assassin
|
| I know we won, but this is probably the least enjoyment I’ve had from a Bert team.
Posted by tvillini
|
| I thought Clayton played pretty well.*
Posted by Mrap24
|
| Intriguing. He’s a shrimp, however.*
Posted by voiceofreason
|
| Boyd is the short one*
Posted by bjl63
|
| He’s 6-3. Just skinny*
Posted by opossum jenkins
|
| one bad throw and a timid effort at a sneak
Posted by assassin
|
| Yes he did. We need to keep this kid. He has an arm and balls. Did you see him taunting MSU’s side?*
Posted by opossum jenkins
|
| Agreed, let him ride next year and fix the rest of the roster*
Posted by OrangeSox
|
| We had a QB with less than 10 career passes and Fitz goes for the win. Thanks*
Posted by UofIL6
|
| going for two against the Illini defense was cool.
Posted by Poldark "The game was fun and glad that Fitzee decided he'd had enough football and wanted to go slap asses in the shower room."

| Wonder if this is another example of Bert's talent...

|
| The call an away team makes.*
Posted by SurfTheBoneyard “Surf is just a national treasure.” — Jackie
|
| ooo
Posted by Ari Gold
|
| Said the same to my wife when he made the call. So stupid to not just play that out.*
Posted by voiceofreason
|
| The stupid part of it was calling a gadget play.
Posted by WhitmansFolly
|
| An absolute gift. Our defense couldn't hold them for 4 downs*
Posted by UofIL6
|
| If Clayton can play maybe we don’t spend big NIL on a QB next year*
Posted by Potomac
|
| We do spend big, but it’s on Clayton*
Posted by gvibes
|
| Exactly right. Gonna have a good internship the next 6 games*
Posted by opossum jenkins
|
| He looked good.*

Posted by Jackie
|
| We won the tallest midget contest!*

Posted by Blazer
|
| It was there. Bad throw*
Posted by Orangeillini
|
| Not even gonna make it to OT*
Posted by Ron McDon
|
| Lots to unpack. But fundamentally we lost because of our horrible defense*
Posted by opossum jenkins
|
| well, and Houser breaking his hand.
Posted by assassin
|
| correct.*
Posted by Ari Gold
|
| Barry really feels like he's got the backup QB ready...*
Posted by illini222
|
| just throw it deep at this point?*
Posted by Ari Gold
|
| Look at us trying to lose it in regulation*
Posted by OrangeSox
|
| They have three timeouts. Running 3x and punting is disaster.*
Posted by Orangeillini
|
| Maybe it’s been discussed, but o thought Boyd was back up.*
Posted by LovetheChief
|
| He was earlier in the season*
Posted by OrangeSox
|
| Do our coaches have the balls to be aggressive and pass it*
Posted by Orangeillini
|
| What do we have to lose?*
Posted by voiceofreason
|
| I’d love to rip Fitzee’s heart out with a 50 yard bomb at buzzer.*
Posted by voiceofreason
|
| So after all that, we ended up where we would have been if they recovered that onside kick.
Posted by voiceofreason
|
| Lunney gonna run us up the middle 3 times?*
Posted by OWWDig
|
| Laughery run, QB draw, Anderson run*
Posted by OrangeSox
|
| this game has been manufactured in a lab to create the most pain possible. unreal.*
Posted by Ari Gold
|
| Helpful that they scored fast.*
Posted by Orangeillini
|
| What would you say Mac Resetich even does here?*
Posted by ATL
|
| Resetich trying to recover a fumble with no arms was funny*
Posted by OrangeSox
|
| oh my god what a hit. the fairy HATES us*
Posted by assassin
|
| I think I hate this team*
Posted by illini21
|
| Maybe they kick xp knowing we can’t stop them in OT*
Posted by Potomac
|
| We can't stop them. Just win it in regulation
Posted by IlliniSax05 MAJOR UPDATE: "Maybe you're not such a bad egg, Lisle-y"
|
| Resetich cannot play at Illinois anymore. Absolutely inexcusable*
Posted by opossum jenkins
|
| Sort of thinking we’re more likely to win by declining the penalty
Posted by Orangeillini
|
| This*
Posted by HeatMizer
|
| And I believe Fitzy will go for 2 late*
Posted by Orangeillini
|
| Agreed. I have no faith in our defense to get a stop
Posted by IlliniSax05 MAJOR UPDATE: "Maybe you're not such a bad egg, Lisle-y"
|
| I think he stepped out too?*
Posted by CanHartlebHireSnider
|
| Nice play by the armless man defending that pass*

| block in the back?*

| PBP guy orgasm*

Posted by Blazer
|
| There was nowhere for Clayton to go. No Oline push at all.*
Posted by Orangeillini
|
| Correct. He had nowhere to go*
Posted by Mrap24
|
| Should’ve never called a sneak to begin with*
Posted by bjl63
|
| agreed, give the ball to your big man with 3-4 steps to get some speed.
Posted by memyselfandillini
|
| Terrible sneak*
Posted by Mrap24
|
| If you’re trying a tush push, why Laughery?*
Posted by Blazer
|
| don’t we have a running qb?*
Posted by Ari Gold
|
| Yes, but the point is that the push comes from the back
Posted by Blazer
|
| And why not someone else at QB? Like Feagin.*
Posted by voiceofreason
|
| did the 3rd down play get reviewed?*
Posted by Ari Gold
|
| nope*
Posted by OrangeSox
|
| why not? all these fucking reviews and not one there?*
Posted by Ari Gold
|
| We deserve to lose, it seems*
Posted by Potomac
|
| We lost yardage on that spot. *
Posted by harb
|
| Painful to watch*
Posted by Orangeillini
|
| What is Clayton waiting for there?*
Posted by voiceofreason
|
| that may have been the worst sneak ever.*
Posted by Ari Gold
|
| So slow*
Posted by OWWDig
|
| Good job oline*
Posted by Ron McDon
|
| Pathetic.*
Posted by Toonces
|
| That was terribly executed
Posted by IlliniSax05 MAJOR UPDATE: "Maybe you're not such a bad egg, Lisle-y"

| He got a terrible spot. *
Posted by harb

| Announcers horrified he got that first down *
Posted by jdl
|
| Ball has to be on the 34*
Posted by OrangeSox
|
| or not *
Posted by jdl
|
| Ball is over the line by the time his knee is down
Posted by IlliniSax05 MAJOR UPDATE: "Maybe you're not such a bad egg, Lisle-y"
|
| It's a first down you idiots. Announcers are devastated*
Posted by OrangeSox
|
| Dumb to waste the TO? *
Posted by harb
|
| Yeah, I hate that decision. *
Posted by illini
|
| The announcers openly rooting for MSU is pretty terrible*
Posted by Blazer
|
| PBP guy in particular*
Posted by Ron McDon

| I've almost posted the same thing a half dozen times*

Posted by DocWalk20

| i stepped out for a bit. can somebody recap what happened? did we get screwed again?*
Posted by Ari Gold
|
| they executed a perfect surprise onside kick, only to be mistakenly ruled offside
Posted by assassin

| opposite of screwed. Saved by ref incompetence*
Posted by OrangeSox
|
| Just the opposite*
Posted by Ron McDon

Posted by assassin
|
| So why is this being reviewed when it was a penalty?*

Posted by jdl
|
| Wouldn’t you decline the penalty if he is out of bounds *
Posted by BradUnderwoodforprez
|
| if hes OOB we decline the penalty and get a Kick out of Bounds penalty*

|
| This pbp/color combo is annoying*
Posted by Ron McDon
|
| *hand clearly grabbing the facemask* must've been someone else
Posted by IlliniSax05 MAJOR UPDATE: "Maybe you're not such a bad egg, Lisle-y"
|
| huge play there.*
Posted by Ari Gold
|
| insane finger tip grab*
Posted by assassin
|
| FWOO*
Posted by assassin
|
| Trimble with the ole*
Posted by assassin
|
| Horrendous.*
Posted by voiceofreason
|
| That throw was big time. Hopefully a game changer in a good way.*
Posted by OB25
|
| i thought that was picked. lol.*
Posted by Ari Gold
|
| What a throw*
Posted by John Coctostan
|
| Nice *

| Pissing away a game you’ve controlled is a spot on the 2-10 bingo card*

|
| in a game you've scored on every possession except one. *
Posted by assassin
|
| This may not age well*
Posted by opey8
|
| it...wasn't a future statement
Posted by assassin
|
| nice tackling by our wrs too.*
Posted by Ari Gold
|
| Houser to the locker room. NBD.*
Posted by Ron McDon
|
| jay cutleresque.*
Posted by Ari Gold
|
| Boyd, your table is ready*
Posted by bjl63
|
| Or Clayton?*
Posted by OWWDig
|
| Is houser hurt? I’m in a place with no sound *
Posted by biclops
|
| They walked him to locker room, so for now, yes*
Posted by bjl63
|
| Oh good. Who is our back up?*
Posted by voiceofreason
|
| Not finishing drives is gonna lose us this game*
Posted by bjl63
|
| It's 2026. How do they not have any views down the goal line?
Posted by IlliniSax05 MAJOR UPDATE: "Maybe you're not such a bad egg, Lisle-y"
|
| Yep, inexcusable.*
Posted by voiceofreason
|
| Currently fucking around *
Posted by biclops
|
| I bet we regret all those field goals now*
Posted by OrangeSox
|
| Brutal*
Posted by Mrap24
|
| Oh shit*
Posted by timmer
|
| 2nd time Houser has gone ill advised over the middle. Bit him this time.
Posted by voiceofreason
|
| Wasn’t ill -advised if he threw it properly *
Posted by Potomac
|
| Only ill advised because he missed the throw by a mile. Wide open guy right there.
Posted by OB25
|
| That catch and run by Clement is a game changer*
Posted by OrangeSox
|
| yeah. he wasn't trying to force anything. he was WIDE open*
Posted by assassin
|
| That’s a tough throw backpedaling. I think he’s best to just eat it*
Posted by CanHartlebHireSnider
|
| especially up 2 scores!*
Posted by Ari Gold
|
| Yep, he didn’t have a chance to be accurate there.*
Posted by voiceofreason
|
| Man that throw = woof*
Posted by BradUnderwoodforprez
|
| he was SO open*
Posted by assassin
|
| And we’re definitely going to lose this game*
Posted by John Coctostan
|
| And there it is
Posted by IlliniSax05 MAJOR UPDATE: "Maybe you're not such a bad egg, Lisle-y"
|
| ffs.*
Posted by Ari Gold
|
| That just can’t haopen*
Posted by Ron McDon
|
| late, over the middle, and high. unreal.*
Posted by Ari Gold
|
| We're dicking around too much for my liking*
Posted by Phytynlini
|
| Well shit*
Posted by Phytynlini
|
| hold on to the effing ball!*
Posted by Ari Gold
|
| Is that really our best return option *
Posted by biclops
|
| FU Fitzee *
Posted by jdl
|
| 7 min td drive, go home*
Posted by John Coctostan
|
| That helps*
Posted by Ron McDon
|
| Still go for it?*
Posted by Toonces
|
| nice break there.*
Posted by Ari Gold
|
| That was also OPI*
Posted by illini222
|
| Our secondary can't tackle for shit, they're all making business decisions out there*
Posted by OrangeSox
|
| They ain’t playing at the next level aside from Bailey. Especially with this on tape*
Posted by bjl63
|
| Our vaunted secondary are all afraid to tackle. Except bailey*
Posted by John Coctostan
|
| tackling is just pathetic.*
Posted by Ari Gold
|
| Dread is creeping. X needs to be fucking better. Pathetic*
Posted by John Coctostan
|
| They’re not getting to 31. One more TD and nothing easy. *
Posted by assassin
|
| We have a major Xavier Scott ptoblem*
Posted by reggiedunlop
|
| Bench him*
Posted by bjl63
|
| terrible.*
Posted by Ari Gold
|
| Putrid*
Posted by Ron McDon
|
| I don’t know what a Finley IV is, but I love you. *
Posted by assassin
|
| better than nothing, but leaves them in it for now.*
Posted by Ari Gold
|
| BAM*
Posted by assassin
|
| Aiight. Touchdown and bury these fuckers. *
Posted by assassin
|
| Yeah 7 here would probably do it*
Posted by John Coctostan
|
| Just don’t be Nebraska and give it all back in one play. *
Posted by assassin
|
| We’re so due for a takeaway*
Posted by John Coctostan
|
| beautiful*
Posted by OrangeSox
|
| nice*
Posted by biclops
|
| You’re all very welcome*
Posted by John Coctostan
|
| Does X even want to be out there? That was a weak ass attempt at a tackle*
Posted by bjl63
|
| Huge waste of money*
Posted by OrangeSox
|
| And again. He’s just not even close to the same guy*
Posted by John Coctostan
|
| Joe Barna held. *
Posted by assassin
|
| good half, let's win 40-24. *
Posted by assassin
|
| such a good drive until the end there. almost like we didn’t want to score a td?*
Posted by Ari Gold
|
| Don’t love playing for a FG here.
Posted by tvillini
|
| Didn’t end up mattering with that 3rd down play, but agreed. Not with this defense.*
Posted by voiceofreason
|
| I don’t get the time management here.*
Posted by voiceofreason
|
| Absolutely terrified to give MSU any time*
Posted by John Coctostan
|
| Yea. Don’t get it*
Posted by OWWDig
|
| they just had to run that QB draw to gain 1 yard*
Posted by OrangeSox
|
| obvious hold*
Posted by OrangeSox
|
| not sure about that clock management. We need to be able to run plays if we get 1st*
Posted by John Coctostan
|
| Kinda got mugged a ton of times today. Throw the fucking flag*
Posted by John Coctostan
|
| I hate it when people actively try to strip the football
Posted by timmer
|
| whew
Posted by apusikam
|
| hope Trimble is okay *
Posted by Poldark "The game was fun and glad that Fitzee decided he'd had enough football and wanted to go slap asses in the shower room."
|
| uhhhhhhhhhhh*
Posted by assassin
|
| Wtf*
Posted by John Coctostan
|
| That should have been blown dead. Almost cost us ball and did the 1st*
Posted by John Coctostan
|
| Agreed. *
Posted by harb
|
| man what a great play design. created a little pocket for Robinson to appear in*
Posted by assassin
|
| Phew*
Posted by John Coctostan
|
| damn that was a huge hole behind him*
Posted by assassin
|
| yeah he was gone if they could've blocked that LB*
Posted by OrangeSox
|
| That was bizarre*
Posted by John Coctostan
|
| Why not run a play before 2 min?*
Posted by Potomac
|
| Because we want the ball with the clock at zero. *
Posted by assassin
|
| Waste time when you are near scoring, imo*
Posted by Potomac
|
| Our real defense just got off the bus. Keep scoring, offense.*
Posted by voiceofreason
|
| our offense better keep scoring. MSU is gonna run all over us in the 2nd half*
Posted by OrangeSox
|
| That was my thought. And suddenly we can’t cover anyone*
Posted by OWWDig
|
| hmm. field goal please.
Posted by assassin
|
| or i guess just give us enough time to go get another one. barf*
Posted by assassin
|
| Mike Rodgers is a Walmart Wolverine *
Posted by biclops
|
| get that Iowa asshole out of here*
Posted by assassin
|
| I know MSU is bad, but are they worse than UAB or SIU?
Posted by tvillini
|
| By leaps and bounds the best we have looked all year. I know MSU stinks but still good. *
Posted by uofi1998
|
| Woot. Nice QB run call. *
Posted by harb
|
| FU Fitzee*
Posted by OWWDig
|
| Cosign. *
Posted by harb
|
| What a drive*
Posted by John Coctostan
|
| Lunney in full rhythm right now*
Posted by assassin
|
| He’s seeing the matrix *
Posted by biclops
|
| haha i considered using this phrasing*
Posted by assassin
|
| A QB sneak I do declare *
Posted by biclops
|
| I like Feagin as outlet receiver. *
Posted by DocWalk20
|
| Let’s get Feagin a TD today *
Posted by biclops
|
| 3 receptions for Feagin!*
Posted by Poldark "The game was fun and glad that Fitzee decided he'd had enough football and wanted to go slap asses in the shower room."
|
| Nm*
Posted by John Coctostan
|
| Well that was a nifty little play*
Posted by John Coctostan
|
| wHArRRRRRRRGHBLLLLL*
Posted by assassin
|
| I feel like houser overthrows that a lot *
Posted by biclops
|
| i think a fair amount of us could’ve made that throw?*
Posted by Ari Gold
|
| which is wild because he's made four or five NFL throws today*
Posted by assassin
|
| Recently. First couple weeks he hit every one of those*
Posted by John Coctostan
|
| Two solid runs by Barnett. *
Posted by harb
|
| Barnett has juice*
Posted by Ron McDon
|
| JB is obviously different after 2 steps*
Posted by assassin
|
| Barnett has the juice. He needs to figure the other stuff out because the talent is great*
Posted by John Coctostan
|
| Haha yes*
Posted by Ron McDon
|
| Barnett*
Posted by Poldark "The game was fun and glad that Fitzee decided he'd had enough football and wanted to go slap asses in the shower room."
|
| He’s different *
Posted by biclops
|
| I feel like we should not have gotten that forward progress but I’ll take it*
Posted by CanHartlebHireSnider
|
| By the rule probably not, but i think it should be changed. That feels right*
Posted by John Coctostan
|
| if Dixon just stops then he'd get murdered*
Posted by assassin
|
| Houser is indeed on it today*
Posted by assassin
|
| That was unfortunate *
Posted by biclops
|
| Oh they gave him forward progress*
Posted by biclops
|
| i was gonna have a fit*
Posted by assassin
|
| I did have a fit.
Posted by tvillini
|
| Catch the ball Ty*
Posted by Ron McDon
|
| Some competent football so far*
Posted by John Coctostan
|
| yes. yes i like this. *
Posted by assassin
|
| Sparty is bad. We need to win this game.*
Posted by Ron McDon
|
| fuck yeah*
Posted by assassin
|
| Don’t really get Anderson over Barnett. Give the kid looks*
Posted by John Coctostan
|
| Bret’s comments have seemed to suggest general playbook or blocking issues
Posted by assassin
|
| A better RB with burst gets that first down there*
Posted by OrangeSox
|
| Is platt available?*
Posted by biclops
|
| jesus what a throw and catch*
Posted by assassin
|
| Dude. Know what you need and dive forward! Not the time to jump but got it*
Posted by John Coctostan
|
| Faegan’s first?*
Posted by OWWDig
|
| And 2nd?*
Posted by OWWDig
|
| that should be a 15 yard facemask*
Posted by assassin
|
| touchdown drive now and we're in business*
Posted by assassin
|
| lol*
Posted by biclops
|
| damn, that was a great play design. catch the ball Ty*
Posted by assassin
|
| Jesus clement *
Posted by biclops
