"Don't complain about not getting a chance and then be unprepared when you finally do." (Joe Montana)

Big week Illinois Football vs Kansas Football. I have 2 degrees from KU it’s a special place. But Champaign is home. I was born in Kansas but these Illini have raised me . Please don’t insult me by asking, who I’m cheering for ? Go Illini ! ILL-

Heard an OC this week say our offense “is really pretty simple, we just make it look difficult”! Love this approach… change formations, motions, etc & run SAME plays OR give the D the SAME presentation, formations, motions, etc & have 3-4 complimentary plays so they don’t know!

THE ILLINI HAVE STUNNED #19 KANSAS IN CHAMPAIGN. 2-0 TO BEGIN THE 2024-25 CAMPAIGN.

We all need more Northeast Tower in our lives…. 🧡💙 #ForeverMemory

It isn’t often that Michigan, Notre Dame, and Iowa all lose on the same day that Illinois beats a ranked opponent. But I petition for it to happen more often. 😎

Before the game, Bret Bielema alerted Big 12 officials that Kansas would line up a big guy wide to run a pick play. Kansas did it and scored, but the refs called offensive pass interference—likely thanks to Coach B’s heads-up pregame warning.

Preparation!

That feeling when you wake up and realize it's Sunday... and the #Bears are playing football… Let’s go!! 🐻⬇️

Never forget! 🙏🙏

Spectacular brushstrokes in the Chicago sky this evening. I’d like to think that the orange and blue portends a good weekend for the Illini. 🔶🔷😎
