For as bad as he's been, I genuinely feel bad for Tim Beckman. He's gotten so much unnecessary s*** from the Illinois fan base. Hopefully, the guy that gets brought in next year is better. He won't have to live up to unreasonably high standards right off the bat at least.

Who was the dumb Illini coach that got called for sideline infraction? What was he doing?

It was D-Coor Tim Banks. Banks is god awful and needs s*** canned! Banks has not made 1 defensive adjustment in 2 years now.

Unreasonably high? What do you think the fanbase expected him to do? I think many thought it would be a rebuilding process, but the guy won two games last year. The defense went from one of the best in college football to absolutely awful.

We lost a lot of our best players off of a team that lost 6 games in a row, and the defense very clearly never bought in. Considering how much hate he gets just about everywhere, I think fans expected a lot more than a rebuild last year. Overall, I'm just disappointed with how many fans quit on him within the first few games of his first season.

Get the f*** out of here.

 

Unreasonably high? Yes, because my bar is set so high that I expect more than a goal line stand over an fcs team to win a game. I expect more than tripping another ref. I expect more than knowing how to use time outs. I expect more than knowing how to accept an obvious f***ing penalty.

 

And that doesn't even count last year.

 

You're out of your f***ing mind.

Beckman worst enemy is Beckman. How anyone can feel sorry for him is beyond me.

Good to see you're as friendly as ever, Krush. What happened today is obviously inexcusable, and I don't see Beckman as being here after the season. I just don't think he's deserved the s*** he's gotten, and I feel bad for him. Continue to drop f-bombs about a guy just trying to do his job if it makes you feel better.

 

I didn't see him trip another ref today, but I left in the third quarter. That's pretty bad.

There was some stuff that happened on the last drive today that's just unacceptable from a 5th grade coaching staff.

I missed the game thanks to the btns s***tiness. But Beckman needed to go after last year. It was perfectly clear he was in over his head. We really got another sideline interference call? Lololol

 

Did they never fix the BTN feed in the city? I live next to OHare in the burbs and had the Illinois game from the start.

What was the issue you guys were hacking watching Illini/SIU? I live near Elgin and had the whole game on BTN-a (610-1 on directv)

 

My buddy in Lincoln Square called me at 11:15 that BTN had the Wisconsin game on and every single BTN overlay channel had the Wisconsin game too. He had Comcast, so do I, in Park Ridge BTN showed the Illini game all day (Unfortunately). And I saw several people on here that couldn't watch the game.

You posted absolute nonsense, what did you expect?

 

I'm sorry Tim, here's a cookie and a gold star for effort.

 

To go all Hawkins on you...its division one football! Its the big ten!

In Chicago it came on with 5:30 left in the 3rd.

I can't even imagine what kind of bulls*** coach would be willing to coach the Illini now

 

Hope Beckman magically does something to give us hope. I felt for him to some extent as the s***bags recruited by Zook were quite clearly not buying in -- I often felt that Scheelhaase was the only player who really wanted to win, and that doesn't get you far when you're not very good. There has been a lot of talk about how much the returning players didn't seem to give a s***.

 

I just don't see any evidence that this guy knows how to coach, though. Hard to feel good about the future of Illini football at this point
