It's early, and we really don't know how good Illinois is, but I think we may be better than last season, and that is saying something!

I agree on all points. After the ODU game I was really nervous about Mendoza and the run defense....they have alleviated those concerns :)

The Hoosiers brought the super sized can of whoop @$$ with them tonight.  Love it.

The "no respect" thing gets overdone, IMO. But here are the top CFB stories on ESPN.com right now:

Obviously ESPN has completely prostituted itself to the $EC....but a top 10 team gets beat by over 7td's isn't a top story? That is pathetic even for them.

I think this Frank Cignetti guy might work out, let’s give him a shot lol

ESPN has been a complete joke for a decade. Makes me even more satisfied as a cord-cutter

That’s pretty incredible

I say this absolutely serious.  If we beat Oregon or Penn State and repeat the 11-1 year. We absolutely have to pay Coach more money. Some people came sniffing last year. But Alabama very well could be sniffing this year

In the post game presser Cig was absolutely gushing about Fernando Mendoza.

That’s the first time I’ve ever heard Cig give over the top praise like that.

Fernando for the Heisman? You betcha.

I’d note that regardless of how this season goes, we need to keep pumping up the NIL.  No better person to give athletic dept resources to.

But we can worry about that after the season is over.  What a great night wow wow wow!!!!

Guess I should have recorded my reunion.

He’s been remarkable the past 2 weeks. I don’t know what happened week 1. Jitters? ODU schemes? Timing?

Whatever it was I’ve seen enough to forget that start.

He deserves a blank check. His program should be the #1 priority for the athletic department.

I said the same thing to my wife driving home.  She hopes he likes the underdog IU vibe.

This may be my favorite message board post of the night, and it’s from an Illinois fan on an Illinois board. This Illini fan was at the game. His impressions:

I’m in NYC. My daughter and I started at 6:30am, moved her from Boston to NYC in a UHaul truck. Finished with Indian food in West Harlem at 7:00pm.

She went out to party and I had a big ol IUFB party in a quiet apartment. A sublime day.
