BleedILLINI
anyone know where I can get free audio of the game?
VA Illini
Anybody using ESPN 360? It's only saying "Coming up next"...
VA Illini
Alright, got picture on 360 now

Down 3-0 early - WMU is passing at will for the most part - at least no TD
Manhattan
I've never seen two players blow more coverages than Wilson and Bellamy. They are oblivious to who they are trying to cover until they are chasing them while 10 yards behind.
UofIQuant
Eff you Ron Guenther.

Western Michigan dropped an easy TD catch on first down and had to settle for a field goal.
DoyleLonnegan
What "rivalry" is this jag talking about?
IlliniKsouth2009
Wilson just should not be in coverage. He should be rushing DE or nothing.

they tried an onside kick - and Illinois recovers
SevenYearIllini
W. Michigan attempted an onside kick. Interesting call. Did not fool us and we have great field position.
RS57
Martez Wilson, non-contributor. A pass rush threatening only to a bridge club.
SteakandChorizo
our defense is embarrassing. why teams don't run crossing patterns all day is bewildering.

and we are doing nothing with it!
VA Illini
lol, failed onside kick
UofIQuant
Well, the team is clearly fired up for this game.

Eff you Ron Guenther.

Goddam it, I'm so tired of seeing Juice miss easy f'ing throws.
erik
And once again, we come out trying to toy with the opponent. F this.
SevenYearIllini
Epic fail on trying to establish a run game.
SteakandChorizo
it'll be interesting to see if we can get a pass rush against a MAC team without blitzing. Their QB had way too much time and easy throwing lanes on the first drive.
RS57
Has anyone explained the concept of pass coverage to the DB's, it doesn't mean just hanging around in the general vicinity of the receivers.
DoyleLonnegan
One of the worst PBP guys I have ever heard
SteakandChorizo
how could they not booth review the Juice draw??? What conference are the officials from?

but if I'm asking about officials in a non-conference MAC game in November, there's a problem.
VA Illini
Wow.... penalty called backed a pick six for us :(
erik
What the HELL was that call? You have got to be kidding me. Plus the ball was tipped.
marv
Can anyone watching tell me whether that defensive holding on Hicks was a good call? The announcers on the radio seemed confused, just wondering if it was close or a good call or what? Would have been nice for him to get another one.
SteakandChorizo

WOW! Huge questionable, at best, holding call to take a pick 6 off the board. Agreeing to this game was so, so stupid
VA Illini
Ron Zook is pissed at the refs!

Tipped pass does not matter on a hold.
SteakandChorizo
Flag was thrown after the pick - very questionable at best. Huge, huge call.
erik
This whole situation should be pissing him off.

There was barely anything that I saw

actually, it worked just fine, as it opened up the play-action to Cumberland.

Good point. Although if there was a hold it had to be way before the INT. There was nothing there to call. The ball was slowed by the tip and Hicks stepped in front and picked it.
SteakandChorizo
in a positive note, if i was not watching this terrible game with terrible commentators in standard definition on a crappy local channel 50, i would not know that Magic's Secrets Revealed was being televised still...I'll set the DVR
illinisteph
At least we still have the lead at the end of the 1st quarter. 7-3. Could be worse.
SteakandChorizo
3rd and 5. CBs play off 10 yards and allow the 7 yard hook. Good idea.
gvibes
A couple comments:
- Liuget just had an awesome play. Explodes into the center, knocks him two yards back, then disengages to tackle the RB
- For being our running down LB, Sam Carson seems quite solid in coverage as well
- I don't recall Tavon Wilson getting much PT before, but he at least seems to always be in position, and know where the ball is.

This defense is so inconsistent. I mean we look like we should for 3 quarters against a pretty good Iowa team, and then we let a MAC team run up and down the field on us and control TOP.
blocki75
Are there ANY radio stations streaming this game?? Just replay crap on WIND and also nothing on the Bloomington station. I refuse to pay $21.95 to ESPN GamePlan for this!! cuss.GIF

I agree that we're inconsistent, but our D is playing EXACTLY like they did last week, i.e. don't guard anyone until they're in the red zone. It's not like we totally dominated Iowa last week -- they had the ball in the red zone 3 or 4 times in the first half, we just held them to FGs (like we're doing today.)
UofIQuant
The crappy non-HD local channel is now all static-y and completely unwatchable.

EFF YOU RON GUENTHER.
SteakandChorizo
flipping to the OSU-NW game...tough to see wins against those two teams right now. And OSU has certainly figured out how to defend the read option...I hope Locksley is looking at that tape and keeps those plays in his pocket next week.

Don't under any circumstance pay for this game. It's not any near worth it. How about espn360.com?
DoyleLonnegan
What a joke this is
SevenYearIllini
Ugh. Watching here in Chicago and the broadcast is all effed up. It's all "fuzzy" and distorted -- like I'm watching a heavily damaged VHS.

Are others seeing this? Or, is it just limited to my crappy RCN Chicago broadcast.
SteakandChorizo
how much longer is Ron G. signed for?
SteakandChorizo
Uggh. Juice's tunnel-vision can, at times, remind me of Mike Tomczak. This is going to be a maddening game.
