I see Buffalo fixed their defense in the offseason. How do you not have someone accounting for Lamar.

Was that Tate Forcier?

Next week, same kicker will make a meaningless 57 yarder to cut into Baltimore’s 24 point lead late in the 4th quarter

Bengals fans must be thrilled with their teams performance today.

To beat a team as lowly as the Browns by 1 point must be awe inspiring.

The kid has 55 pass attempts. Puts him at 7 conference wise. Problem is he (Underwood) is at 54.5% completion. Portnoy wants him to throw more?

He won’t rest until Underwood has a 9/40 5INT stat line against USC.

Lawrence is the only pro style QB to have great success as a freshman, and even he ran some. Underwood is not close to as polished.

Say what you will about Bert, but he's taken a dead ass dumpster fire program and building into something kind of decent. Even in the NIL era, Illinois football is not an easy job.

And the Illini had to go to Penn State and Oregon last year, unlike Indiana who got the luckiest cream puff schedule possible outside of 1 game, so if Illinois gets in the playoff because of that, I'm good with it.

Google AI: The Illini NIL program refers to how the University of Illinois supports it student-athletes in leveraging their Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL) for financial opportunities, primary through endorsements and partnerships. Under the leadership of head coach Bret Bielema, Illinois operates an NFL-style program, utilizing one-year NIL deals to provide a professional-level experience for its athletes. The program faces challenges in funding compared to other power conference schools, with Bielema highlighting a significant resource gap, though Illinois has shown competitive results despite a smaller NIL budget. In May 2025, Coach Bret Bielema stated that the Illinois football program's NIL budget was about $5 million.

Just sayin': Agree, Bert pulled a competitive program out of the dumpster fire he inherited. In addition, operating on a $5M a year NIL budget isn't going to let you compete for the highest ranked athletics. In looking at a typical Illini recruiting class in 24/7 it looks like Bert ends up with just 1 4-Star and 20 to 25 3-Stars. He then supplements it with some transfers, (and none of the transfers are the "cream of the transfer crop" either) etc.

Bert would fuckin jerk it on the 50 if they beat us in a top 10 matchup. Can't let that happen.
