As good as Boyd is he can start day one and I wont be worried, but Luke back another year to let him have 1 to learn the playbook is best
Join our every day conversation in our Illini discord! discord.gg/NR2QQmNz
I hope he stays and gets the love he deserves... If not I wish him best of luck
Altmyer "could" pull a Devito and find somewhere that can protect him better to show how good he could be in a clean pocket. He was the most sacked QB in the B10 this year.
Dude if Tommy Devito can start in the NFL . Luke can definitely play in the NFL . Luke is 10 times better than Tommy
…. You have a point. Though I don’t think Tommy is long for the NFL. I do think Luke might be able to carve up a backup career?
Check out the comments Sunny, on a show before the season when you asked us what we thought was this team's floor and ceiling was. I said that the floor was 8-4. Ceiling, 9-3. BINGO!!!
Wow, GREAT call!
They should have been giving Leary some time on the field. I'm udderly shocked they have not done that.
Yeah probably one of the few aspects of the season I think we didn’t do a good enough job of.
11-1 is actually more rational to believe than 9-3 was this year.
I just don’t think we have the high end talent yet to go compete with the Oregons, Ohio States, etc. 9 wins, MAYBE 10 might be our ceiling for the short term but I hope you’re right !
We are not better without hin
Agreed. But I think we’re the best situation for him to so it’s mutual.
Wisconsin is different this year from what I’ve read. Dangerous good. Beat down the Badgers.
@@connieellis438I want to see if they can sustain it this year. They started off strong last year too. I’ll be watching that game Wednesday night.
If Altmeyer is foolish enough to even think of leaving, we’re better off without him.
I don’t think it would be smart for either party for him to go anywhere and I think both realize that.
I believe he's talking about the backup QB's.
That would just be sour grapes. He's an upperclassman with minimal future prospects - it's pretty much a single year's earning potential on the table here. While many of us see Champaign as a great spot for him, implying that he'd be actually crazy to take ANY deal over ours is.. rude? I dunno, it certainly lacks imagination.
Maybe I misunderstand. I said I think he can make more elsewhere but if Illinois can get to 80-90% of the best offer the best opportunity would be in Champaign. In a system he’s familiar with and performed for 2 full years now. Just my personal opinion if he left he could be risking some pro potential.
Luke isn't going anywhere.! Lol he knows how good he has it in Champaign!
I L L
Those Woody Hayes teams were tough. Ran the ball. Really great defense, and they didn't get dumb penalties very often.
Good morning. Good broadcast. I cry no tears for Ohio State. Saw them beat my Illini 41-0, 48-24 and 24-10 in 69, 70 and 71 when I attended U of I
Ouch… lol.
People are asking about Purdue staff coming back to Illinois. Unless I am mistaken, The only one who left for a step up was Kane. Why would he want them?
I think Coach Patterson got upgraded as well but I get your point. I would be shocked if any of them came back here. Certainly not Ryan.
Gotta get a LT to protect Altmeyers blind side. That cost us the playoffs this year.
Congrats on a good season. My lowlygophers win made our season along with beating the crap out of bucky yesterday. Big ten is the league. If Indiana can do it, so can the gophers and Illini
Whoa now just slow down. Arkansas isnt exactly elite and Illinois hit shots they havent been hitting up to this point. Also a major factor no one is talking about. Is the fact that Antigua is on illinois bench. A former calipari assistant. Illinois knew before hand everything arkansas would try. They had the advantage and won a game they were supposed to win. Good win and impressive play non the less because even though they knew what arkansas was gonna do. You can mess that up turn it over not rebound. And Illinois did. Plus Underwood is a coach that prepares his teams better than cal does. Cal dont know how to teach guarding the screen. And probably never will at this point!
Do you think Pat Bryant breaks the Illini Receiving TDs record against Northwestern?
Yes Pat Will Do It.. 2nd Or 3rd Quarter
Great breakdown of his film! And for the record, that film was his Junior season. His jersey was #1 for his Senior year.
Big East or Big Least bball Ed Cooley is finished But only because he has failed to be a good coach Like Dan Hurley has lost three games his team should have won - three Ls in a row in Nov versus less than stellar competition. Big Least basketball. If im a recruit no way Id consider Big East teams.
Epps is a good kid too needs to be said.
Yes, I like this team! It wasn't much of a challenge, honestly
Didn't see it was on the rode so listened to it , at no time was i worried , the Illini went full throttle from the start
This wasn’t a game this was a beat down 😂
Ivisivic player of the game!
2 players of the game, Boswell and Tommy.
Also thank you Sunny for your podcast. Is a fun place to be.
Sunny how sweet. I will be smiling all night at work. First time got to see them play this year. Amazed!!
Good job guys, happy Thanksgiving
Thanks! You too!
The only thing better than a 4-star Beerman is a free beer man. 🍺
Thanks again for having me on brother! Always a good time 🙏
Linebacker
What do you think is the position we need to upgrade most for next season?
I know dane danja doing good for Memphis all 3 games in Maui he had 16 points in first 2 games and 17 in 3rd game plus had 6 rebounds in every game all in 19 min in every game
93 Illinois 81 Arkansas
I have Arkansas by 10 ...... 76-66, we continue to build for the 2nd half and the tourney. Hoping to catch bama and the razorbacks in the post-season. GO illini!!!!
100 percent sure Boswell is guarding boogie fland. We need some much needed threes from Big Ben or Gibbs lawhorn. We need more of the key bench pieces being a big part.
Happy early thanksgiving sunny hope you have a great time with family back in Chicago. Illinois wins 78 to 71
I think Morez needs to develop his shot and free throw shooting...so far most of his shots are dunks and his free throw shooting needs work
I would love to see these 2 guys back for another year.....refining their game and getting stronger......i guess this is just dreaming on my part.
I think kj and Riley are gone. They will only help this program with recruiting if this happens. We have never had that happen and would be a program changer
Let's hear your score predictions! Do the Illini take down Arkansas? What's your key to the game?
Indiana will be one gane and done problem is one lost was against bad teams doesnt matter which they play they will lose big
Fine with me. I never hard of Ed Cooley. If he is well known, surely it is only within a few miles of Chicago. I seriously doubt the nation has ever heard of him!
