Illinois 28.....IU...21 ( Illinois misses 4 field goals)
I’m sure they are already there. Coach likes the routine to be the same.I love the way Illini coaches think and what they say.
Beat Indinia!
Just wondering: say a game today nearby at Indiana, do Illini arrive yesterday, stay in hotel, have meetings, practice? Or do they stay in Champaign today and travel later? Neither here nor there, who cares?, but thanks anyway.
After watching the Purdue game, it looks like the offenses are ahead of the defenses. Friday's game will be tough. Good luck Illini!Wyoming used some bigger sets against us. Indiana will likely look to spread it out more. Definitely will need some more pressure this game through scheme or blitz from LBs as well. Glad we have a week under our belt to get some of the rust off.
Hopefully the week 0 game puts our defense ahead of theirsAfter watching the Purdue game, it looks like the offenses are ahead of the defenses. Friday's game will be tough. Good luck Illini!
You've got it backwards, my friend. The Illini play only 13-14-15 games in a season.This is a conflicting day for me as the Illini and the Cardinals play tonight at the same time.....I have the illini game set to record and the Cardinals game I have to use Sportsurge website to view them.......I guess i will watch the Cardinals game live then flip over to watch the Illini replay.......

It's got to be Bret Bielema's Fighting Illini of Illinois LIVE and the nerd-birds on Tivo delay. In fact, maybe you'll be fortunate and the Tivo won't work and you'll get to skip the cardinals altogether!
I'm with you. We have a real coach and a real staff. The recruiting void needs filling but I haven't felt this good about a coach and his potential since Mackovic.Initially had not been a huge believer in, or fan of, Bielema. Some of the choices he made early on last year didn't help assuage some of the concerns I had.
However, I will admit that he VASTLY increased the competence of all phases of the game last year. Getting out-talented some weeks is something we can't avoid in this league. Far too often over the past 30 years we've had a clownshoes operation in addition to a talent deficit. Honestly, if never felt clownshoes last year - even the couple of insane 4th down calls weren't really clownshoes as much as meathead field position old school macho garbage.
I can look back at examples of not getting overly excited over game one win, but I'm bought in. Illinois is gonna beat Indiana on the road by 20+ points.
I'm ready to be hurt again.
I don't think you'll see top classes out of BB here....middle of the road in the B1G and 30-40 range nationally when he gets established here.I'm with you. We have a real coach and a real staff.

BTW, that "30 years" thing stung. 30 years. Wow. My entire adulthood & small change. It's true, though it hurts. Am just thankful I was there in '88-'90 to see it.
Illinois 30-24I never make predictions... until now
Illinois 21
Indinia 20
With Wisconsin/Iowa player development.................totally acceptable! (And a top notch weight loss program for BB to ensure he's still around to see it bear fruit.)I don't think you'll see top classes out of BB here....middle of the road in the B1G and 30-40 range nationally when he gets established here.
Saw the players loading up on the bus about 1:15 yesterday afternoon.I love the way Illini coaches think and what they say.

He keeps going to wrong direction in that department….With Wisconsin/Iowa player development.................totally acceptable! (And a top notch weight loss program for BB to ensure he's still around to see it bear fruit.)
Mixing sports, but I hear that Mark Smith's treadmill is available.He keeps going to wrong direction in that department….
Do your thing pru but im watching Illini! 162 games vs 12. Its a no brainer here. Redbirds will be playing in October. Lets go!This is a conflicting day for me as the Illini and the Cardinals play tonight at the same time.....I have the illini game set to record and the Cardinals game I have to use Sportsurge website to view them.......I guess i will watch the Cardinals game live then flip over to watch the Illini replay.......

That is what I like to see! Probably just me being over optimistic but I was thinking like 41-1731-10.............
BU seems like the only P5 coach to have lost 30+ lbs - probably aided by the Covid walking craze. Hopefully BB is able to get that figured out...He keeps going to wrong direction in that department….
easier to manage a roster of 15 than 85+....Gives BU a chance to get out of Ubben....BB literally is in the smith center from 5:30am to at least 10:30-11pmBU seems like the only P5 coach to have lost 30+ lbs - probably aided by the Covid walking craze.

I just set my hulu live + to record the Illini game ..........................It will be a game time decision.......................lolDo your thing pru but im watching Illini! 162 games vs 12. Its a no brainer here. Redbirds will be playing in October. Lets go!
