Probably not good for us, but they were getting uppity.

Tale of two halves for sure. Wisconsin looked completely in control until halftime, then Illinois started with the heroics. Especially happy for peters getting a big win.

Wow! Unbelievable. Spending the day with the old lady because we rarely have a Saturday to relax. New show Unbelievable on Netflix, definitely recommend.

Good for Lovie and if he gets them going, a bowl appearance is possible.

Credit Illinois.  They never gave up, managed to hang around and take an excellent team down at the end.  Well coached, great effort.  Nice game by Peters too.  Took some big shots including on a critical run for a first down.

Down goes whiskey is what I am doing starting at 7:30 tonight.

We lose to Wisconsin, Wisconsin just lost @ Illinois, but Michigan won @ Illiinois. What does that mean going forward?

I’m surprised The Badgers lost to Illinois. No one talks about the Badger schedule though, including the talking heads. They had one road game against USF. It’s tough to win on the road. They still have Ohio, Nebraska, and Minnesota. I think they win one of those games.

The problem is that the Big10 played a bad non-conference schedule this year, and we have a bunch of really bad teams.  OSU has played no one, Penn State has played no one, Minnesota has played no one... if you look at the top defensive teams in the country, the Big10 had 3 of the top 5 cominig into today, and I'd bet a kidney that stat says much more about how awful and outdated the offenses in this conference are than it does about the defenses.

Wow, shocker. I’m happy as heck for Peters. Great young kid and great win for Illinois’ program.

i hope Wisconsin comes back crazy mad next week!

Why is this not good for us?  Everyone who wanted to use the 3rd quarter comeback the Illini mounted against us last week as a further sign that we are underperforming just got a data point that suggests the contrary.  Illinois is clearly a better team than the one that lost to EMU  this season.

1st post today. Living in Packer and Badger country . I guess it’s easier then Ohio country but not much. Packer fans are insufferable.

My Packer neighbor game by after the Lion loss on Monday and brought me Brown trout filet and said you probably sick from the game so here’s a trout . My girl friend put in the fridge. A day later I pulled it out and it said “ go Pack go on the bag.it was awesome though. No complaints.
