Jury is still out on Bielema at Illinois but I remain cautiously hopeful. Offense is still leaving too many points in the board, can't happen in B1G play. I guess I'll just have to wait and see.

Saw this yesterday and brought back some painful memories. We don't talk enough about how the 2011 Ohio State team, easily the weakest OSU team of this millennium, absolutely BROKE the Illinois football program. We still haven't recovered from that awful October afternoon almost 11 years ago.
Illini were 6-0, ranked 16th in the country, and a 3-3 OSU team was coming to town, Illinois was a rare favorite against the Buckeyes, 16 year old me was excited, the Illini are gonna win back the turtle and we were gonna have a special year. We were just waiting and we thought we were seeing.
And then we weren't. Illinois lays an egg, OSU wins 17-7, then came the nose dive to hell, losing our next 5, Zook is fired putting us on the road to Tim Beckman/Bill Cubit/Lovie Smith.
Illinois wins that game, maybe we don't lose the next 5, Zook holds on another year, maybe we never end up with Beckman, who the hell knows? I just remember being so pissed after that game if I'd have known just how deep the fallout was going to be from that loss, I would've cried.

It's looking like Nebraska is without a doubt the worst program in the West if Bert has the Illini competitive. If Schiano and Rutgers are legit, the corn are the worst program in the entire conference.

Yes. And of course that one pass went for a touchdown.
You seem like a nice guy and I’m not often given to mocking the pain of others, but

I’m still smarting from the 2007 Juice Williams game where every single Illini read option play was successful. That was a real good Buckeye team that got dominated.

Such great seats ruined by such a shitty result. There was also a fumble for an osu touch back after the first carry of the game for Illinois. Had review looked at the play, it would have been 7 points off the board and ohio state football at the 20.
Anyway.... went to USC 2008 with bb73 ... and.. we agreed to part ways, when it came to games. Not really. But we haven't been to a game together since. Lol

I was at that game with good seats. That day I learned Replay can be broken. Not in that they didn't review it cause reasons but physically broken so they can't. And that it's soul sucking as hell when you can't stop the QB from getting 4 yards...
Also was at USC 2008 with my dad in South stands. Crazy atmosphere but punting from field goal range and Pryor missing a guy standing wide open killed us.

We may have been directly opposite you for USC. We had seats in the north end zone. The USC band was to our left in the opposite side of the endzone. We were on the right side, probably just inside the hash. B deck. Maybe 20th row? We weren't under C

Yeah we were east side of South stands 2 seats from the wall. By far not the best seats I've ever had those were Sophomore year row one C deck east corner right above the lights. I could have sold my 1vs 2 2006 TSUN ticket for 2k that year. But fuck that. Seeing that game in person was worth way more than that.
