An Underwood special - playing poorly, inexplicable mistakes, losing to a good, not great team - the exception being it was Purdue. As I watched the game unfold I could not believe my eyes, I've seen that kind of garbage from the Illini, never from Purdue. Smith was brilliant against the Illini, Kaufman-Renn was very good as well, their performances in Bloomington were a complete 180. Don't expect that kind of inconsistency from Matt Painter and Purdue. I'm worried about tonight, Washington is good, not great, team, there's a big game Sunday. It's a perfect trap game, a perfect setting for an inconsistent performance from the Illini.

I'm thinking he'll want to invest a pick for a RB, don't know who the nearest approximation to Gibbs would be this year. Guess, Love, but, he'll be long gone by the time the Bears consider drafting a back.
-
Is Etienne a lateral move from Swift? If so, is he a cheaper lateral move?
-
No doubt about it, he was and is very good. Also have to acknowledge the Patriots path to the SB was, comparatively, the easiest, that's got to play some part.
-
Don't think NE has much of chance so, maybe, Caleb will win a SB first. Granted, anything can happen but, this time around, the Patriots don't get the benefit of playing teams featuring crap play from the QB nor, will the teams have to deal with the weather.
-
Chaps my ass that horsefeathers Drake Maye made it to the Super Bowl before Caleb.
-
We all know football can be completely random but, there's no reason the Patriots have the much of chance. Would have much rather seen a Bills-Seahawks SB.
-
Rams, like the Bears because of their porous defense, forced to go for it instead of taking the points. Former Illini comes up big for the Seahawks, love it.
-
And the Seahawks literally give 7 points back by being stupid. Think the Seahawks will score again, nevertheless, there was no need for such foolishness.
-
I'll give you this Braden Smith is a once in a lifetime PG. He's really good. And I'm really glad the Illini never have to worry about him again, at least, in the regular season. Another thing, surprised me that Illinois' Mirkovic appeared taller than Kaufman-Renn, they're both listed at 6-9, maybe, it was the orange uniforms.
-
Right now this Rams defense isn't much better than the Bears, they can get to the QB a little more. Overall, it's terrible.
-
Watching Illinois-Purdue on DVR and, holy horsefeathers, the Illini are tall, for the most part, they towered over Purdue. Braden Smith is tiny out there against the Illini. I know the Illini are the tallest team in the Big Ten however, the contrast may have looked greater due to those orange uniforms. Smith performance is a testament to just how good he is, has a real good chance at the next level playing amongst the giants in the NBA. How about the Bulls drafting him in the 2nd round?
-
Your Boilers played awfully well yesterday, sure they got handled on the boards and the Illini go hot from three. But, that's what it took to beat them, any other night the Boilers win. Don't know if I'm sold on Nebraska, a very good college team, Final Four/National Championship good? No. At some point or another you're going to need a guy with NBA type talent to step up and win a game for you. Saw something about Nebraska being the basketball equivalent of IU in football. Not even close, IU had legit NFL talent (5 players in the top NFL' Tankethon top 100, 4 players in CBS Sports top 100, 5 in PFF Top 100) plus a Heisman winning QB who is likely a top 5 pick in 2026. Nebraska basketball has nothing approximating that, I may be wrong still, wouldn't surprise me if Michigan wipes the floor with them Tuesday night.
-
I think Painter was sticking with the hot hand in Mayer, dude was unconscious there for a moment.
-
Was thinking the same thing during today's game. I was conceding the loss to Purdue and thinking I want to see the Illini return the favor to Nebraska. Beat them on their home court and hand them their first loss of the season. Unfortunately, I think Nebraska' first loss is coming in their next game, at Michigan, so the Illini won't be able to burst their bubble.
-
Him, Loyer and Kaufman-Renn are history for the Illini, never will have to see them again in the regular season. Good riddance!
-
There something about Wagler, the sleepy like smoothness to his game, under control, it's unreal for a freshman. A freshman no one had ever heard of, have to give some credit to Underwood and his staff for scouting - guess it's really, his son, Tyler we have to thank.
-
Yep, I'm idiot, all my nonsensical doom bonering, of course, Wagler goes nuts. The Illini crush Purdue on the boards, withstand a superb game by Smith and win!!!!!!
-
Okay, let's hope the Illini and Underwood prove me wrong about today, that would be great.
-
When have Underwood' teams won a big game like today? I may have exaggerated however, this is the type of game his teams rarely win.
-
Honestly, so what? Last I checked Ben and Caleb aren't going any where. Is it an incorrect assessment to say the NFL is the most soap opera like of the four major sports?
-
Big game today for the Illini and, Brad Underwood, the James Franklin of college basketball, to lose. They may keep it close, Stojakovic may even do a good job defending Brad Smith, ultimately, as all of Underwood' teams tend to do, they'll find a way to lose.
-
We've definitely have not seen the best of Rome, as you said, let's give him a full year before writing him off.
-
Bidding their time, remember who the Bears "interviewed" while waiting for the Lions season to end?
-
Just read an article regarding Bears' receivers and drops. Didn't realize how much they dropped the ball and how many yards it cost Caleb. National media likes to harp on Caleb' CP, not taking into account just how much his receivers dropped the ball which was quite a bit. One way or the other I strongly suspect the drop issue will be remedied next season with the result being Caleb and the Bears offense going nuclear.
