All of you should absolutely be ripping Warren apart after this game. 

Anyone thinking this loss is on Sheridan and not Warren/Allen doesn’t know football. McCulley needs the defense to step up. He’s a true freshman with limited first team snaps. Warren has All Americans on his roster. Sherdian is working with a MAC level OLine, receivers who run lazy routes and don’t get open and a QB who’s being thrown to the wolves

OL is just.. there are no words. 

I can’t even assess Tuttle and Sheridan because the OL is literally so incapable of performing at even a reasonable level. If Hiller survives the season then performance means nothing to CTA

Lighten up Francis it was a joke.

His AARP kicked in already if that tells you anything. 

He’s 21 years old and a 4th year player/student. These comments are dumb

Ummmm, Texas played Arkansas.

If you want to give Texas credit for scheduling Arkansas back when they were challenging Vandy for the basement of the SEC, be my guest. If Arkansas wins more than 3 more games this year (despite being spotted 2 by the “great” state of Texas) I’ll be shocked. They aren’t a top 15 team after today and they most definitely won’t be at the end of the year.

Meh, they just like playing close games.  LOL

Texas didn’t deserve to be ranked and won’t be by the end of the season. Oklahoma is wildly overrated but fortunately for them, they won’t ever play anyone in the top 15 to actually test them until their bowl game unless Ok St.  can keep up their momentum. Even that may be fools gold as Ok St doesn’t play anyone. The Big12 is such a crap conference and their top tier teams won’t play anyone outside of conference outside Iowa St’s obligatory game vs Iowa.

Penix would have a season ending injury on that play.

He's apparently not only dropping passes, he's dropped 'F' from his last name as well.   

Catch a damn pass and maybe your fans will spell your name right. As it stands, “Ryfogle” is about the best thing one could call him

I’ll raise you a Matt Canada

Don’t think Matt is leaving an OC gig with the Steelers for this sh*t show but one can always dream. We had our chance to hire him and Allen didn’t take it

Man, Peyton Ramsey was underappreciated by this fan base.  

If for nothing else, the kid absolutely sacrificed his body despite his OL.  Penix obviously isn’t interested in taking the kinda hits Peyton took and I don’t blame him

Agree. I specifically talking about our last 3 plays of the half. Only thing I was talking about at that point. 

There's wayyyyy more to our problems than our play calling on Saturdays. 

I don’t think it matters what play is called if the OL can’t even play at a MAC level. If you don’t block and you don’t get open no play call works

He won scout team off back award last week.  

Good to hear. Forgive me, is “off back” the RB/WR hybrid position Ellis plays? Not familiar with that term.

Intriguing news.  I’m especially curious about Williams and Holt-Bennett. We’ve got some well ranked young receivers.  It’s a super tough position to make the adjustment at this level but I’m excited to see these guys.  Green wasn’t mentioned but he’s another. 

Kinda surprised/discouraged that Jaquez Smith isn’t being mentioned, and to my knowledge, hasn’t been mentioned by CTA at all this season. He seemed power 5 football ready out of high school and I’m really hoping this isn’t Rashwan Williams all over again

We tell our kids the exact same thing he mentions here. You have to play like that. 

Yea, I mean I’d like to think I’d be smart enough to word it differently or refrain from saying that at all publicly but I don’t disagree with the sentiment. If I’m CTA I’m printing that quote and providing it to the officials prior to the game to make sure those flags come out quick upon anything close to a transgression.

Either Oregon State is decent or USC is terrible. Regardless, pretty impressive to see OSU up 25 at the coliseum. Don’t think they’ve won there in like 60 years. 

You literally only care because Purdue managed to squeeze out a win. Yes, USC is terrible, Purdue still sucks…carry on

Don't believe so

Then I’ve got nothin. Campbell can hit from 60 at will so coming up short from 52 looked out of character for him. Glaf he got another crack at it. Even happier to have a kid like that who’s just so automatic. He would have won the Groza already if he got more attempts 

14 minutes ago, btownqb said:

Not sure happened on the FG that Campbell "missed" on the off sides... 

But when we had the delay of game and he had to rekick. Omg he absolutely crushed that one. 

Do they use different balls for field goals/kick offs? CTA got in the manager’s a** when he wasn’t around to get a ball in on a kickoff, screaming “that’s twice!!!”  I wonder if they didn’t have the correct ball on that FG attempt

Peters was terrible. Sitkowski won that game for them against Nebraska and kept them in the second one with a lousy defense albeit a little inefficient.   He has a 6-1 td to int ratio. I didn’t watch Virginia game, so not sure there probably just better competition. But Peters shouldn’t get his job back. 

Peters was 3/4 passing before he got hurt against Nebraska…rough crowd…guess he needed to be 4/4 with 4 TDs?  Sitkowski barely completes over 50% of his passes which is why Peters started over him at less than 100% last week. I expect Peters to bounce back against Purdue with last week under his belt but if not, Illinois doesn’t get better under Sitkowski and may not win another Bigten game the rest of the way.

Thankfully it's just Illinois next week for you guys.

Illinois is a much better team than their record if Peters can get back to week 1 form. With Bell out along with the other injuries, I suspect Purdue will get all they can handle and then some this week

If I'm reading this correctly, the HH NIL Collective collects money from businesses, boosters and fans and uses it to pay IU athletes to promote Hoosier Hysterics?

So, this sounds like a way to pay players to appear on their podcast, using other peoples money. 

You hit the nail on the head. It’s a cash grab. I’m sure they are IU fans but this isn’t some philanthropic quest to attract and reward IU athletes. It’s annoying at best, and exploitative at its core.

I mean I’m sure you can message them and ask them to produce those records 🤷🏻‍♂️

Point being, there’s no record of them actually doing anything for IU’s players. Simply stating they are working to set up a NIL platform is the same as me saying I’m starting a charity for cancer research…sounds cool, means nothing 

2 hours ago, IUfaninIllinois said:

As much as y’all hate on them they also do a lot for our players. They started their own NIL for the players that they didn’t have to do. I get that their video was out of line and uncomfortable but no average joe fan even considered stepping up like they did to help the players out.

Is there any info as to what/how much this is producing for the athletes? All I’ve found is that the NIL platform was created by them but who cares if it’s not actually generating material revenue to disperse

Not looking good for Bell for PU.  He went face first right into the field and hasn't got up yet

Glad to see he’s able to move around. His neck was torqued pretty violently as his helmet bounced off the ground

Just now, IU878176 said:

At least he saw a great environment but yes…a win would have been helpful.

More important is the vibe in the locker room. If his hosts are upset about the loss there’s not much fun to be had the rest of the visit. Hope for the best and a poor OSU performance against Tulsa
