so signing a new offensive line off the street didn’t help?

People had the wrong reaction to Indiana. Their run actually reinforced my belief that my team will never REALLY get good, because that kind of run only happens once. Indiana already did it. It won’t happen again.

Everybody please thank Illinois for providing some normalcy in these unprecedented times

I’m gonna be at the big ten toilet bowl next week between Illinois and Michigan State. I used to LIVE for these kinds of games, the “our only realistic shot at a big ten win” games. I was built for this!

3 winning seasons in 4 years for the #illini, yes But also. 3 winning seasons in 18 years. We’re much more the latter than the former

we’ve beaten Purdue at home once since 2010, it took a 10 win team to do it and it was by one point in overtime. Thank your hosts, they were generous as always.

Josh Whitman knew what he was doing when he backed out of the Mizzou series. Shame on me for doubting him

I genuinely have no idea why NIL suddenly became a huge issue for illini football, we fielded some competitive teams the last two years and we bought linemen to do it then.

Knew the season and possibly the program were cooked when he explained why they went 3-3-5. Can’t afford to compete in the trenches. Can’t get NIL money after winning 19 games in 2 years at ILLINOIS.

Takes me back to the days of losing at home to Chris Ash Rutgers to break a huge losing streak for them

There’s no path to the promised land of Detroit from this loss for Illinois. This is why the last two years have felt like a fever dream: THIS GAME is WHO WE ARE, it is IN OUR DNA

wait so The white sox are in the playoffs, but it’s not on TV and it’s against a .500 team? What the fuck is going on here?

Wisconsin gets to have a fucking football team again? What did they miss one bowl game in 30 years? Meanwhile my school gets condemned to several more decades of the wilderness after winning 19 games in 2 years? I hate this fucking sport!

Re: the notion that Illinois is Iowa now Iowa has 2-3 electric college football moments a year, of the grade that Illinois does once a decade if that. Our last one was 2019 Wisconsin. The 2024 Michigan game ruled but only we care about that

thumpasaurus (the steve not the band) @thumpasaurus.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

that will bring us to 5-6, then we get fucking crushed by northwestern

thumpasaurus (the steve not the band) @thumpasaurus.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

this Iowa win will be much funnier when they get Berted 10-9 in november

Not a snowball’s chance in hell Illinois puts up any fight tomorrow. We’ve been *fucking annihilated* by every playoff caliber team we’ve played under Bielema
