Previous Message| Gonna say 1/3 of the screen will be highlights, 2/3 ads during TV timeouts. *
Posted by osklister
|
| that means a lot of ads then with all the timeouts; at least not while plays are running*
Posted by Potomac
|
| Even on tv it seemed exceptionally bright, and also somewhat distracting
Posted by Learning_and_Labor
|
| yep..heard it was annoying to some*

|
| Was it the olds?
Posted by Learning_and_Labor
|
| ha! But to answer you.. no, not just olds like us*

|
| This defense frightens me*
Posted by Figs
|
| the comparative stats were upsetting
Posted by AceFrehley
|
| It more than frightens me. *
Posted by GAIllini
|
| agreed. despite the win im pretty pessimistic.*
Posted by arthurkirkland
|
| agree. I tried to enjoy thwe win (and did), but concerned*

|
| Deion and CU rally to lead in final minute and win on blocked FG*

|
| These announcers suck. It’s Ill-eh-noy. Not El-in-oy*
Posted by AceFrehley
|
| Remember those student announcers we'd hear on BTN Plus, etc?
Posted by osklister
|
| ain't that some shit*
Posted by AceFrehley
|
| Yes it was. Crazy. *
Posted by harb99
|
| seems interesting to not even bother with a hint of a rush on the Hail Mary*
Posted by IlliniOllie
|
| i mean there is something about 10 defenders to 5 receivers
Posted by AceFrehley
|
| everyone seems thrilled to be up 8 *
Posted by Pooter
|
| Fernando Mendoza isn't walking through that door*
Posted by AceFrehley
|
| right. 11-2 with Kurtis Rourke
Posted by Pooter
|
| Alright, who has stolen Pooter's password this time??
Posted by osklister
|
| Pulling that in was very impressive *
Posted by Potomac
|
| We are Rutgers.

| How old is the UAB coach? He looks like he's 12*
Posted by AceFrehley
|
| Ha! So many look 12 to me now. I say it a lot here out loud*
Posted by Mismysteri
|
| This guy is a man? He's 40? (old reference that live in my brain forever)
Posted by AceFrehley
|
| and the reference for you:
Posted by AceFrehley
|
| Game is an hour old with 8 min left in Q2 - sigh*
Posted by Potomac
|
| I’m thinking of Ohio St. games where they could have just gained 5 yards every play
Posted by groupguy
|
| nice run..14 -3 Illinois*
Posted by Mismysteri
|
| Have not done squat since*
Posted by Potomac
|
| Um, except one really lucky gift*

| Shouldn't you be drinking in the bougie donor lounge at this point?
Posted by AceFrehley
|
| Yes. I will be running out of Open House to get home and grab a drink*

| Just win 7 games and don't have any major blowouts
Posted by villain
|
| it's not that hard to please illini fans
Posted by AceFrehley
|
| I agree with you. I'm just wary of the 3-3-5 defense*
Posted by OskeeWowWowDig
|
| It makes sense since we don't have much D Line depth, but I fear that teams like
Posted by villain
|
| Yea. That's where I'm at. If the blitzes don't hit, we're gonna get gashed.*
Posted by OskeeWowWowDig
|
| I admit, I am pretty worried about this year*
Posted by Mismysteri
|
| Our schedule is actually pretty favorable for us. There are 10 "winnable" games on the schedule
Posted by villain
|
| just win 7..would be thrilled with 8+*
Posted by Mismysteri
|
| It's going to be toasty on that field and in the stands.
