Illinois 2016 or 2010?

The least memorable game of the entire year last season, IMO. After the demolition of Rutgers, before the revenge game in East Lansing. I had to look the game up to refresh myself on the details. A fine, humdrum, convincing but unspectacular victory.
August 15th, 2017 at 12:45 PM ^
have a pretty good memory and I cannot remember playing Illinois last year. Wow.
August 15th, 2017 at 1:45 PM ^
I had forgotten about it too until I saw a fan on reddit upset that Jim went for it on 4th down twice in the 4th quarter to help run down the clock. Illinois guy thought he was trying to run up the score.

I want blood this year. Although the game was never in doubt, I want a blowout. I want what Wisconsin did to us in 2009. Memories of Chris Perry rushing 51 times would be nice.
I don't even want them to claim dignity this time.
August 15th, 2017 at 11:55 AM ^
I am with you. While I wanted that last year, I'll take the win. That said, like you mentioned, the game was never in doubt, despite what MSU fans will say. I am still perplexed as to why Dantonio decided to go for two at the end. It made no sense from a scoring standpoint. You could even see MSU fans with the "why the fuck did he decide that" look on their faces.
Jabrill thanked him.

That's a beautiful thing
August 15th, 2017 at 12:38 PM ^
burned that dude that first play but Speight just overthrew him. I vote against MSU this fall we put him in for one play at WR to see if he can do it again.
August 15th, 2017 at 1:56 PM ^
August 15th, 2017 at 12:29 PM ^
but it still felt competitive. I still long for a drubbing. Like 50-10 game where we run the ball 2/3rds of the time and it's never a contest.
August 15th, 2017 at 3:51 PM ^
I believe UM is going to kick their asses this season. We're due for an MSU ass kicking. They got a few of those against us when RR and Hoke were here. We gotta get them back.
August 15th, 2017 at 3:52 PM ^
a game where them crossing the 50 is a sign of success.
August 15th, 2017 at 9:37 AM ^
admit, I was worried after State's opening drive. It looked WAY too easy. A small part of me thought "here we go again....."
August 15th, 2017 at 9:46 AM ^
For some reason when I opened this up I thought 2016 was the 2015 game. Damn near had a PTSD moment
August 15th, 2017 at 9:55 AM ^
you watched it yet? I did, beginning to end. I had to come face to face that truly horrifying event to fully move on.
August 15th, 2017 at 11:56 AM ^
You're very brave. I can never watch that game again. It was the flukiest win I have ever seen and maybe of all time.
August 15th, 2017 at 12:33 PM ^
of observations from the rewatch:
1) Holy hell did Conner Cook play out of his mind. I don't know if I have ever seen a QB play that far above themselves for any entire game.
2) Harbaugh was visibly confounded during the last minute. It appeared that he knew he was not managing the down-distance-time in an ideal fashion but seemed trapped in the moment.
3) We had all kinds of trouble moving the ball in the second half from repeatedly good field position. Make one of those field goals into touchdown and it is over.
4) No way Bolden should have been ejected.
5) Holloway had an opportunity to take Watts-Jackson down right away if he would have cut inside a blocker who had not felt or seen him yet. Much is made of the hold (and it was a hold) late in the run back but it was in the split second that Jackson scooped up the ball that they play could have been made.

strange observation, really doubt that was happening. only reason that game seemed close was penalties and weird plays at the end. remember sparty only lost to osu by 1 point.
August 15th, 2017 at 2:53 PM ^
he appeared confounded. Like, he was trying to do an equation in his head and it wasn't quite coming clear like he wanted it to. I think he badly wanted to avoid punting in that situation but with all the moving parts he couldn't quite compute how best to go about accomplishing that goal.
August 15th, 2017 at 1:58 PM ^
August 15th, 2017 at 3:54 PM ^
Man, you guys are crazy. I don't understand why you'd want to suffer again watching those shit games. MSU was a fluke win and we were literally robbed by the refs in the OSU game. Two heart breaking losses. I just don't see how you can stomach watching that shit again.
August 15th, 2017 at 4:15 PM ^

Win with cruelty baby, over and over again until Mork sits down and cries.
August 15th, 2017 at 9:55 AM ^
One of my favorite moments after the game was over was walking out of Spartan Stadium and hearing a teary Spartan woman dramatically say "well, at least we'll always be Spartans" to her husband/boyfriend, who nodded.
I nodded too.

I actually just watched this on YouTube about three weeks ago.

Honest question. Do those of you who get excited about these re-broadcasts don't have smart TV's? If you do, you can just pull up the YouTube app on your TV and watch any of the full games available at any time, and without the commercials. No need for DVR if you have a modern internet-capable TV.
August 15th, 2017 at 2:01 PM ^

No smart TV for me, I have PCs, tablets, phones and other things that work great. I've probably watched the UM/PSU drubbing several times this year on Youtube because it makes me happy.
August 15th, 2017 at 1:59 PM ^
Back to being the noble losers, bravely taking on the arrogant Wolverines from Ann Arbor. That didn't take long.
August 15th, 2017 at 5:38 PM ^
Defeated with dignity ?. Who scored thee and there last touchdown against Michigan ?.
August 15th, 2017 at 3:29 PM ^
I posted this a year ago-thought some of you might like to see it again in honor of this thread. Link if embed didn't work: https://vimeo.com/189679205

Now that's quality entertainment.
