[POJO_Risin]

Well folks...this is the play right here...first down...and the National Championship is gone...

Make it...and there's still a shot...

Illi-fucking-nois...

what are the chances we are losing so we don't have to take that dumb ass turtle...

 

[NFBuck]

Defense has been completely unprepared and overmatched.

 

[OregonBuckeye]

Still have a chance to play for the Rose Bowl, a Big-10 Championship, and a win over scUM yet somehow that doesn't make me feel better.

 

[scarletngray]

unfreakin believeable........ how many times can you run the same play and not stop it????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

 

[Telekinesis]

Can't believe our NC hopes hang on this crap.

 

[buckeyebri]

Just a bad game all around...

Beat in the trenches on both sides of the fence.

Turnovers.....Turnovers....Turnovers....

Gave up big plays.......

And, Hate to say it but out coached....

 

[Bill Lucas]

Go away and come back later.

Sorry, but that's how I see it.

Take off the scarlet glasses, Kinch. Our defense has been worn down. I'd love for things to be different but they aren't.

 

[JohnnyCockfight]

Biggest 3rd down of the season. Right here, right now. Let's go Bucks!

 

[Cicero]

I am going to say this now before the play. Win or lose I love this team. If it isn't meant to be this year so be it, but I would not want to be a fan of any other team in the country.

 

[bgantz]

Very upsetting so far....I'm really not looking forward to my weekend being ruined by this, or our season for that matter.

 

[scarletngray]

Let's hope for a miracle. Stop em, have em punt it and who knows.....

 

[Wingate1217]

10-1 :( :(

God I am glad I am not in a foxhole with some you guys...

Don't scrape your knees jumping off the bandwagon....:(

I'm going to hear about this alllll year long, all of my co-workers love the illini and my secretarys son plays there. :(

My case is worse! I live in Pa. where there are alot of Penn State fans to harass me & others in general! Watch my phone will start ringing shortly!

God damn you people giving up are killing me.

Against LSU (1988?) my dad REFUSED to leave, even though everyone else had given up and left the stands.

We stayed.

We won.

I learned a lesson.

I hope many here learn one today. If not, I'll regret our loss AFTER it is a loss.

Games are won in the trenches and this is proof. Illinois has out-everythinged us.
