September 3, 200520 yr That was awesome. I left them for dead but god damn it was fun watching the O and B come back. Did EB Halsey sprout wings and fly into that endzone or was it just me? What a helluva dive that was. Wow.
September 3, 200520 yr QUOTE(wsox08 @ Sep 3, 2005 -> 03:44 PM) nice comeback, enjoy this win.. it may be the only one we get all year! How much money you have?
September 3, 200520 yr lol i guess my dad shut them off in the third and went and laid down. when woke up he saw me and asked if i watched rutgers beat up on us and got to tell him the outcome with a response of 'you're s***in me!'...
September 4, 200520 yr Great win. I thought they were cooked, but what a comeback. No quit in them. That's good to see.

September 4, 200520 yr QUOTE(WHarris1 @ Sep 3, 2005 -> 09:14 PM) I was going f***ing nuts just sitting in my room. RON f***ING ZOOK EB f***ING HALSEY you should have seen how much emotion zook had after the victory. He absolutely went nuts in front of us in block I. I'm still excited because of today's game, what a cool experience.
September 4, 200520 yr QUOTE(winodj @ Sep 3, 2005 -> 09:13 PM) Well... it is Rutgers. Rutgers is senior laden, nice win by illini to start Zook era. Edited September 4, 200520 yr by Soxfest
September 4, 200520 yr QUOTE(Soxfest @ Sep 3, 2005 -> 09:27 PM) Rutgers is senior laden, made a bowl game last year nice win by illini to start Zook era. Rutgers was 4-7 last year and didn't make a bowl game.
September 4, 200520 yr This was a tossup game, with us as the underdog Saying "it's rutgers" doesn't mean s***.

QUOTE(whitesoxfan99 @ Sep 3, 2005 -> 09:29 PM) Rutgers was 4-7 last year and didn't make a bowl game. Seriously though...it looked like a nice win from the highlights, but it's just Rutgers, and a home win at that. Anyways, congrats to the U of I fans.
September 4, 200520 yr For anyone following this team...today's game was more than 'just rutgers' Christ, no one claimed we're going to the Rose Bowl...but this was a big win for this program and this new era.

It was a good victory and it was great to see the team not quit when they got down. As long as we are competitive this year I will be happy and hopefully starting with today Zook can turn the program around.
September 4, 200520 yr I don't care if you are playing Pork and Bean State, you drop a comeback like Illinois did in the 4th quarter, and its worthy of praise...and made me a little coin in the process....I'm just sayin'
