Game Thread: Illinois vs Purdue

[NashvILLe05]

This is getting embarrassing

 

[sacraig]

Is it? Most people who aren't Illinois fans probably expected us to win handily. It's just all of us used to our team laying an egg that figured we would, well, lay an egg.

Damn it. Sorry for posting this, guys.

This is Purdue. We are Illinois. Period

 

[illinidarrin]

This is about as bad as it can get.

 

[SuperMetroid]

WTF are we doing on defense

 

[D1959]

Wtf? What happened to db university?

 

[FloridaMan]

Time for a new D coordinator

 

[TheGMan]

This is getting embarrassing

It’s been that way for awhile

 

[BWBW]

Well, we need another TD.

 

[TentakilRex]

Got to stop Marcus Mariota Jr....

 

[FeelYourPaign]

I can't believe that I HAVE to watch this. It should be my CHOICE whether I want to bother with the 4th quarter. What with us being up by 21 (in my mind), ya know?

 

[illiram]

Were we just not ready? Who is to blame? Why did the coaches not put this one away when we had the chance?

 

[Oldskoolkoach]

Henry has some tough questions coming his way.

Like, why did you back to last years coaching strategies?

 

[Champaign88]

I guess we will find out next week whether we are actually any good or have simply played bad teams so far.

 

[BDMAN]

WTF our defense is a seive we can't stop anything this is what we get foe mistakes and giving them life!!!!

 

[Second place is 1st loser]

Many have been talking a big game all week about us blowing Purdue out of the stadium. I hope that you're right. These are exactly the types of games that we wet the bed on.

My worst fears come true.

 

[Battle89]

All set up now for @AutoPoster 3000 ’s 35-34 finish.

 

[New Creation]

Our defense really just quit in the 2nd half. What happened in the locker room at half. Henry did not keep them focusEd.

 

[DERV64]

Anyone should be able to....we have no DL, can't stop a mobile qb and our dbs do not stick to the wrs there's open WRs every play

 

[orange100]

I want to know how much of our defense scheming or philosophy from when Walters was here is still in play here. Walters always calls Purdue's O when they play Illini.

 

[Bert2022]

More punchable face...Fran McCaffrey or RyanWalters...go

 

[thehass]

I hope we never go into another game as a heavy favorite.

 

[NashvILLe05]

Twice as mad because of all the recruits watching this. Unacceptable.

 

[LFOD]

That 2 pt conversion was brutal

 

[TentakilRex]

Yeah Hudson Card is getting Wally Pipp'ed!
