DOWN GOES WISKY
October 19th, 2019 at 3:29 PM ^
Their next 3 games are Purdue, Rutgers, and Michigan State. They could very well go 3-0 and be at 6-4 with Iowa and Northwestern left.
Could be a one off for sure, but who looks unbeatable in the West now?
October 19th, 2019 at 6:08 PM ^
Minnesota! The best team in the land! :D
October 19th, 2019 at 3:32 PM ^
It probably is, but beating even mediocre teams on the road, as we see, isn't a given.
October 19th, 2019 at 3:22 PM ^
What an amazing fucking win for the Illini!
And congrats to Brandon Peters. He deserves a moment like this after a tough college career. Did a really nice job today.
October 19th, 2019 at 3:46 PM ^
Well said.
October 19th, 2019 at 3:22 PM ^
Wisconsin, a team that beat us, losses to Illinois, a team we beat... maybe not too bad for us at all.
October 19th, 2019 at 3:26 PM ^
The transitive property tells me EMU is a top 5 team... *shrugs*
October 19th, 2019 at 3:33 PM ^
You know, this is a reason it is so frustrating to listen to a large portion of our base bitch and whine last week because we didn't "win impressively". A win on the road in the BIG is always important!
Get the W and enjoy Michigan football, and stop the garbage complaining! It gets old and is asinine.
October 19th, 2019 at 3:59 PM ^
I want Big Ten titles. Why dont you grow a sack? Illinois beating Wisconsin has nothing to do with Michigan
October 19th, 2019 at 4:03 PM ^
Come on now. I mean, fans complain on all sports blogs when their team isn't playing well. OSU has been very good for many years, but when they have rare bad games... their fans actually complain worst than Michigan fans.
I've visited many sports blogs for other teams and it's pretty much the same thing when their team plays a bad game.
October 19th, 2019 at 4:59 PM ^
Still beating this drum, huh Damone? Your avatar tells us all we need to know about how you feel about mediocre performances. Michigan played like shit against Illinois and deserved every bit of criticism they received. Raise your standards, man.
October 19th, 2019 at 5:26 PM ^
Double thumbs up on this one!
October 19th, 2019 at 5:28 PM ^
The complaint is that Michigan under Harbaugh has NEVER won a game like this. They have never once played over their head and won a game they weren't supposed to and that no one expected them to.
October 19th, 2019 at 3:54 PM ^
Wisconsin didn't beat us, they curb stomped us into unconsciousness.
We beat Illinois.
This game was neither a positive or negative reflection on our team.
October 19th, 2019 at 5:20 PM ^
Illinois' performance this season mattered a great deal when people were whining last week.
The only reason it wouldn't matter this week is people don't want egg on their face and so choose to be willfully ignorant.
October 19th, 2019 at 3:23 PM ^
Unbelievable lol.
October 19th, 2019 at 3:23 PM ^
Hahaha, who cares if it’s good for “us” or not. Great win by Illini
October 19th, 2019 at 3:24 PM ^
I chose to root for the underdog/fun over some exceedingly small chance that a Wisconsin win would "help" us providing we win out.
October 19th, 2019 at 3:51 PM ^
Not sure that it makes any real difference for us, since it's between two West teams. But last week's game seems better now.
October 19th, 2019 at 3:23 PM ^
This time, 23 points is one too few for the Wisconsin team in a game ending in a walk-off FG
October 19th, 2019 at 3:23 PM ^
Gotta love College Football! Happy for the Illini.
Let’s keep the “upsets” going.
October 19th, 2019 at 3:23 PM ^
MOAR KAYAAAWWWSSSSS
October 19th, 2019 at 3:23 PM ^
Brandon Peters
October 19th, 2019 at 3:23 PM ^
FIRE GATTIS!!!
October 19th, 2019 at 3:24 PM ^
Michigan’s best QB plays for Illinois
/s
October 19th, 2019 at 3:28 PM ^
He was 9 for 21
October 19th, 2019 at 5:40 PM ^
What was Shea against Wisconsin ?? 14/32 with far better receivers
October 19th, 2019 at 3:28 PM ^
Hire Lovie! Bring Peters!l For a 6th year even!
October 19th, 2019 at 3:23 PM ^
lmao...got caught looking ahead
October 19th, 2019 at 3:29 PM ^
They sure did. The Nutts are going to eat them alive now.
October 19th, 2019 at 4:20 PM ^
Yes...this is the story.
I wonder if the resurgence against us in the 3rd quarter also built them up a bit? That had shades of nightmare to me but maybe there's heart in that team still to be plumbed.
I'm happy to see this. This put heightened interest into the game next week vs. OSU. Also looking forward to the Minnesota / Wisconsin game... but there's a ton of games to go until then.
October 19th, 2019 at 3:23 PM ^
I love upsets when they don’t have anything to do with us. Also really happy for Peters. Such a fun game to watch.
October 19th, 2019 at 3:23 PM ^
Santa wins, Santa wins!!!!!
October 19th, 2019 at 4:04 PM ^
He does have a bad ass beard
October 19th, 2019 at 3:23 PM ^
Because the big ten is awful. So bad that no big ten team should go to the playoffs ?
October 19th, 2019 at 3:24 PM ^
That team down south has looked pretty stout regardless of the competition.
October 19th, 2019 at 3:50 PM ^
Theres a team in Columbus that hasn't looked too bad at all...
October 19th, 2019 at 3:23 PM ^
Brandon Peters > Shea Patterson
October 19th, 2019 at 3:25 PM ^
He’s better than the guy who played for Illinois when we faced them - that’s for sure.
October 19th, 2019 at 3:32 PM ^
no, peters was 9-21. its just that the illini D showed up, big time.
October 19th, 2019 at 3:36 PM ^
14-32 with the majority of those completions yardage and TDs in garbage time Peters > Patterson
October 19th, 2019 at 3:54 PM ^
Hey coach, I think you missed the reading part of the test. JPC was referring to the Illinois QB from last week, Matt Robinson.
we get that you are disappointed in Shea. A lot of us are and he probably is too. Here's to him lighting it up tonight.
October 19th, 2019 at 3:29 PM ^
He went 9-21. Nuff said
October 19th, 2019 at 3:34 PM ^
What was Patterson against Wisconsin before garbage time ?? Far worse
October 19th, 2019 at 3:23 PM ^
Wow. Just wow. looking ahead?
October 19th, 2019 at 3:24 PM ^
yea, remember the snow flake thread last week when people were talking about turning in their Wolverine fandom?
October 19th, 2019 at 3:40 PM ^
Where have you been? That’s every week, even when we win!!!
October 19th, 2019 at 3:24 PM ^
Fire the coach, fire the OC, bench the quarterback, overrated.
October 19th, 2019 at 6:04 PM ^
Unacceptable!
October 19th, 2019 at 3:24 PM ^
The Vegas odds betting on illinois to win were humongous
