It lost credibility by not even having Ethan Brown on the list.
BART Torvik predicting #illini top scorers
David Mirkovic is first at 17 ppg
Followed by Quentin Coleman (13.5), Andrej Stojakovic (12.4), Tomislav Ivisic (11.1) and Stefan Vaaks (8.6)
I disagree with the Vaaks projection. I think he produces more because of his size and skill.
But overall, I agree Illinois will have several double digit scorers.
No. 1 projected offense in the sport

Honestly I don’t see it as clear and indisputable. We can’t even see when 18 touches the ball. Replay is being misused.

Nice story. I had no idea that was going on during this season.
Sometimes you write a story. Sometimes you have the privilege to tell someone's story. Thank you @camcrocker_ and @IlliniMBB for giving me the honor to tell this one.

I lost my dad today. He was a farmer all his life, and his insane work ethic every day to build us a better life certainly rubbed off on me and my brother. And he was a phenomenal storyteller who loved to chop it up with anyone he met, so maybe he passed that on to me too.
Most of all, he was one of the best, most tolerant and most rational men I knew. I’m gonna miss him, but I’m glad we got one last Christmas with him and I’m glad I got to see the joy in his eyes as a grandfather.
Tell your loved ones you love ‘em.

I’ve watched this five times. And will probably watch it a few more. #Bears

I believe it will only be the 3rd time this year the Bears will be favored
#Bears open as a 2.5-point favorite (-120) over the #Steelers for next Sunday's game at Soldier Field. That's the opening line at Westgate SuperBook in Las Vegas per my guy @JoeFortenbaugh.

Also wasted a TO on a challenge that had no chance
Phantom Hold, bad DPI, missed FG, going for it to give up 3pts, giving up the FG at the end of the half, and not kicking OOB. #Bears

With Pickens, Scott and Velus Jones (last year) being cut, it seems like Poles hasn’t fared well on this 3-4 round picks. But maybe that is typical. How does his track record on these picks compare to league average?

What’s the one question mark that, if positive, makes you think we repeat 10 wins this season?
I agree, he definitely took an extra step. They don’t seem to make that call anymore.

Why do coaches play key players late in blow out games, ie like Oregon game. Seems like an opportunity to give backup QB some experience while avoiding injury to your starter. It’s not just Bret, most coaches keep starter in (including Eberflus)
Got any #illini or Big Ten football questions for J Leman? We'll try to answer them on today's podcast. Whatcha got?

I’ll never understand playing key players late in blowouts. Altmeyer and most other starters were still in with 4 minutes left 🤷♂️
#illini Bret Bielema didn't have an immediate update on WR Pat Bryant but did acknowledge a head injury and felt like there was a forearm to the head that necessitated targeting.
