Just checked the line on this game.... 19.5 points. Holy cow. I can't remember ever seeing NU favored by this many points. With Kain Colter and Venric Mark (our two greatest offensive weapons), I can't imagine why anyone would give those points. Seems ridiculous to imagine Northwestern actually blowing out anyone, particularly by that much. Take the points... ILL-INI. |

I guess you're right. But Northwestern isn't the type of team that is blowing the doors off of anyone. And Fitz goes uber conservative and that probably cost us a few games the past several years. No one plays down to competition like the Purple. |

My guess is Venric Mark doesn't play a down and Kain only gets 40% of snaps. That has to change the line. |

spread still 19.5. Colter and Mark are reportedly practicing, but I'm skeptical. Seems the 19.5 points is the easiest free money I've seen in a long time. |

The Illinois offense scores points for the other team. |

Then going for it on 4th down a few more times in the 4th quarter. Yeah, Illinois shouldn't suck so much and stop them. But, I still don't think its appropriate. |

How do you fire a guy who hasn't even able to bring in a full recruiting class and instill his vision? |

I somewhat agree, but coaching ability should be displayed even on teams with poor talent. |

The guy that should be fired is Thomas. He fucked up in hiring the two most important coaches in the athletic department. Getting lucky with Groce may take some heat off him. |

If Groce is good, then why is it "lucky"? And Thomas did try to hire about 10 other football coaches, but no one wants to coach at Illinois. Not really his fault in his first year. |
