Illini Football

Perhaps it’s too little too late for this season, but for some, one particular play is going to go down in history.

Now that Illini are firmly planted in the cellar of the Big Ten, there’s room for little else but reflections on the how and why. T. McDade talks passing, and what’s wrong with ours.

In the end, the score was 24–14, with Michigan State on top. But anyone who saw it will tell you: the Illini got shelled on Saturday. Again.

What’s there to write about Illinois football? Not much, really. T. McDade decides to celebrate the release of the new Headlights album by applying some lyrical makeover to an old song of theirs, “On April 2.”

The lllini football team made everyone’s head turn on Saturday: towards Assembly Hall.

Ohio State knows a thing or two about the Illini and the sting of losing. This year, the key might be held on the ground, despite the Illini’s known weapons in the air.

After a false start, the Illini got back on track with a convincing win against intra-state semi-rival Illinois State. One problem though — Juice Williams didn’t play much this week.

No one was expecting this: a 37–9 loss to a rebuilding Missouri team. Want to blame it on the loss of Arrelious Benn? Think twice, says T. McDade. The team should be better than that.

The start of a new Illinois football season means only one thing: a braggin’ rights game against next door neighbors, Missouri. Can the Illini finally break a loooooong streak of losing in their state?
