One Frame At A Time: Illinois
You're reconsidering your choices in life and how they led you to this place, at this time, wondering if your beloved team is going to be embarrassed on national television while you unwittingly become a meme. You just never know when the camera is going to find you. It's always in these worst moments. At least there are plenty of Michigan fans at this game. Surely they'll find someone who looks more existentially depressed.

THE FULL ALBUM
THE TOP TEN
10. Touchdown, Me
DPJ signaling his own score gets this into the top ten.
9. More Like Eubonks
Sorry.
Anyway, nice of ABC to spotlight the murder.
8. Stop This Right Now
When it's year five and you realize you have no offensive identity.
Apologies, it was sitting right there.
7. Lonely Illinisland
They're, uh, really giving the superfan here a wide berth.
6. Oh Right, It's Illinois
This was a nice time for everyone to remember that.
5. Hassan Hasspins
Sorry again.
4. Flying Squirrel
Stop trying to replace Jordan Glasgow.
Stop it right now.
3. Cam McGrone's Punch Out!!
He's gonna be real, real good.
2. Michigan Fandom, 2019
This next one was after a good play:
We're not in a great place.
FRAMES OF THE GAME: NAH

Good thing I couldn't make it to the game... due to probation
October 14th, 2019 at 4:47 PM ^
I would have voted for a beard close-up.
October 15th, 2019 at 1:50 PM ^
Black Santa is glorious.

Illinois hadn’t scored 25 or more consecutively against anyone since Akron. Not UCONN not EMU not Nebraska. Yessh
October 14th, 2019 at 5:18 PM ^
Well, consecutive points is kind of an odd thing to keep track of.
They've scored 42, 31, 31, 38, 17 and 25 total points in their games. They are terrible on defense, but have some talent on offense.
October 14th, 2019 at 5:48 PM ^
It’s odd until it happens to your defense. Illinois is no PSU ND or OSU.
October 14th, 2019 at 6:51 PM ^
Plus the swirling wind that worked against our offense, appeared to aid theirs. At least I tell myself that to make me feel better.
October 14th, 2019 at 5:13 PM ^
Always a hard vote. Hasspins is great. Flying Squirrel is great. Nah is great. All of 'em are great.
October 15th, 2019 at 1:24 AM ^
"Nah" speaks to my soul. That is exactly how I feel watching our offense every possession this season.
October 14th, 2019 at 5:15 PM ^
After the voting, will we find out which one won in the Electoral College?
October 14th, 2019 at 10:21 PM ^
Oh a political burn...you a bad man.
October 14th, 2019 at 6:05 PM ^
Team. Nice win. 5-1. Beat PSU!
October 14th, 2019 at 7:25 PM ^
Michigan Fandom 2019. That's my buddy in the hat moving up onto the next bleacher with his hands up. I had to text him to tell him he's famous...an appearance on MGoBlog is quite an accomplishment.

You guys are starting to sink in your own stale bulltripe, too. This team can be in it for every game except OSU. That's what it is. Neither God nor the university owe you anything more. You got too hyped before the season started with zero reason to do so, now you're acting like entitled brats. Either enjoy the games or get new jobs. The other team wants to win, too.
October 15th, 2019 at 12:16 AM ^
you're acting like entitled brats.
Well said!

Illinois #4 futilely chasing Charbonnet in the Eubonks GIF is comical to me.
October 15th, 2019 at 11:33 AM ^
And number 30, who looks like a l'il fella.
One question I have about that play, though: Patterson appears to be optioning the end, but then Eubanks comes and Eubonks him. So we're still not really using option to even up the numbers? If Eubanks had gone into the hole and gotten all the way to the LB who ended up making the tackle that's probably a TD.
I realize I don't really understand all the nuances, but why pretend to option someone and then block him?

Your pun game is strong in the one Ace. Well done!
