Illini Football

… and let’s just say it ain’t likely to be pretty.

A new era begins in 2010.

The Illini wrapped up the preseason with some bad news, but overall, the team looks ready.

If the offense can play the way they’ve been doing in scrimmage, this Illini gridiron might be looking at a return to playing post-Christmas.

With Camp Rantoul underway, our new Illini football beat reporter introduces himself and grants us a humble prediction for 2010: this team is going bowling.

While Devan Cunningham was the big hero of the game on Saturday, Juice Williams remains, still, ours as well. Rob McColley provides insight into the final game and what’s to come on the gridiron.

How the Illini team lost on Saturday, combined with what its season looked like on the whole, can only inspire off-season changes and heavy drinking.

Missed opportunities, typical of this lost season, once again came back to haunt Illinois in their loss to Northwestern on Saturday.

The Illini football team have a few reasons to celebrate, but nothing yet resembling a complete turnaround, writes T. McDade.
