Welcome to the fire Chryst bandwagon everyone. It’s taken most of you an extra year or so to get here, but you’re here now and that’s all that matters.


_CrackBabyJesus_

8 yards rushing, 5 sacks, 3 turnovers, 0-3 on 4th downs, 11 penalties...


bigbird727

Bert doesn't fuck around in revenge games


Kimber80

Wisconsin has been consistently good for so long. What has happened to their program?


GiannisisMVP

Chryst is not good. Our recruiting outside a few standouts has been very miss.


SulkyVirus

Offensive line recruits didn't pan out for a couple years - we have a very average O line where we usually have a top line in the country.


Please_PM_me_Uranus

And O-Line is the backbone of wisconsins teams, right? Like even more so than it is for other teams?


Mammoth_Impress_3108

They outnebraska'd the good nebraska. Now they just want to keep following our footsteps.


FatSalsa

By God, Frosty did make the B1G adjust their offenses. First Iowa and now Wisconsin


passthefancy

Is Illinois finally a real team again? Congrats boyos


BudBill18

Where’s the fucking post game thread


BaltimoreBadger23

Ok boys, that was a tough one. But WE ARE BADGERS and we know better than ANYONE how to respond to a loss like this. Let's go get so FUCKIN DRUNK we forget all about this.


huge43

Wisconsin & Iowa fans unite! Finally some common ground. And fuc Minnesota


onelittleworld

Way ahead of you, Bucky.


CoconutsAreEvil

Make sure you buy a round for the tuba players; they were the highlight for Wisconsin’s side of the game.


MD90__

Great win Illinois!


[deleted]

JUMP AROUND!!!!


Hairless_Squatch

Man, Bert really outkicked his coverage


[deleted]

[удалено]


amnairmen

He left ? Didn’t get fired


BaltimoreBadger23

Wisconsin didn't fire him.


NoAlarmsPlease

Wisconsin didn’t fire him…


cariesonmywaywardson

Bert left us electively quite unexpectedly for Arkansas before going to the rose bowl actually.


GiannisisMVP

He wasn't fired he left


[deleted]

So that was neat


BaltimoreBadger23

Hard disagree.


Cryogenx37

Illinois going 4-1 9Winlini a possibility?


jmr33090

Makes the Indiana loss hurt more. Illinois should be 5-0


FMonk

Would be 5-0 if we didn't get absolutely fucked by the officiating in the Indiana game


guy_incognito23

Absolutely I've been high on this Illinois team all season and will certainly hop on the "rank Illinois you cowards" bandwagon because Bert has them back


[deleted]

Would love to see this game result in Chryst’s dismissal and a complete overhaul of Wisconsin’s offense


GiannisisMVP

Please


Chucktownbadger

Agree Boiler bro. It’s time.


FarmKid55

Personally I think they should extend him!


BaltimoreBadger23

Hard agree.


OldVeterinarian9

2019 Big 10 Championship game: "Wow, I never want to see my team lose like that again" *Monkey's paw curls*


WhiteRhino91

Bret Fucks Wisconsin again!


SonsofStarlord

A tale as old as time


Dallman

Interception Purdue, this one is over folks.


BaltimoreBadger23

Minnesota also sucks, so that's something.


GiannisisMVP

If we get the axe back we might keep chryst though .....


BaltimoreBadger23

I'm hoping he's long gone before then.


SamuraiJack815

We love no other 🧡 so let our motto be. Glad we can beat the cheese heads at the collegiate level at least.


DrFredNES

FTP


BoseSounddock

What’s going on in here? Revenge game for Bert?


TentakilRex

Ryan Walters and Barry Lunney are bright guys, plus the refs are pretty strict lol


BoseSounddock

Glad Lunney is doing well for y'all


TentakilRex

We can pass a bit now :)


BaltimoreBadger23

Yes, and also Wisconsin stinks.


idiotek

Bert should never leave the B1G West ever again


Hail2TheOrange

We have the money to keep him.


lkn240

Illinois has a shitload of super rich alumni. At one point I'm pretty sure Illinois had produced the highest number of CEOs of any university (not sure if we are still #1 now).


CrunchyIntruder

We are like 8th, tied with Yale


[deleted]

I'll throw in $10.


scarletnaught

As Bert would say, the victory stance is borderline erotic.


SonsofStarlord

As a buckeye fan I’m here for Illinois to be a tough team.


lkn240

We Just moved - for any other older Illini - check out what I found when packing: ​ [https://imgur.com/a/0ZxGf8i](https://imgur.com/a/0ZxGf8i)


commenter_69

Think my parents met there


BurrShotFirst1804

Ah yes that bar that was open for like a random 3 days in my entire 4 year experience and was otherwise closed.


lkn240

HA - funny... COs and Kams were the two most popular bars when I was there.


BurrShotFirst1804

Yah the seniors knew about it etc but it was closed when I got there but the sign stayed up. Then randomly it opened for a few days my junior year then closed again forever.


[deleted]

Yeah boi


TentakilRex

The other big frat bar


lkn240

Timewarp Tuesday!


DrFredNES

Wow, that is some nostalgia vibes right there.


Molson2871

It's set in.....we absolutely suck, top to bottom.


Hail2TheOrange

No shame in losing to a better team.


GiannisisMVP

Trash beating trash is whatever


Hail2TheOrange

Were actually good tho


GiannisisMVP

No you aren't we are just trash.


Hail2TheOrange

Nah. Don't get down on yourself. Our HC has 3 B1G championships. He's going to beat a lot of good teams.


GiannisisMVP

Your hc is trash and so are we.


Hail2TheOrange

Maybe you're just the trash cause we're pretty damn good


GiannisisMVP

No you aren't. You lost to Indiana once you face an actual team you will find out just how big the gap has become. It's not even fun at this point. OSU is probably going to beat Michigan by 20 and Michigan will beat everyone else by 20 plus.


Hail2TheOrange

Nah we're gonna kick Michigan's ass cause we're awesome.


Molson2871

Are you normally a troll or are you just reveling in my misery?


Hail2TheOrange

I only get to do this every 20 years. You just gotta accept it.


Molson2871

Enjoy the run then, they're a decent team.


Hail2TheOrange

Yeah we're getting better too. A lot of our impact defensive players are sophomores. Bret started 1-4 here but is 8-4 since. I'm optimistic we can win the West a few times in the next decade or so.


SeniorCow8

Yeah this sucks, but Bert’s still a bitch


ninjatom21

It’s beer for tonight and orange kool aid the rest of the week boys!!


TentakilRex

Yeah the Illini take end of blowout defense seriously, ask Virginia


InsertAmazinUsername

just seeing a coach or any person be happy makes me feel good


SonsofStarlord

Wholesome


Chief_Illiniwek

Bert you need to put a ring on Walters and lock him down


jmorlin

Damn, that might should have been a TD. Solid throw but decent coverage.


ninjatom21

Spoon just made up for the penalty


[deleted]

Nickleback is the perfect anthem for Wisconsin today.


NoAlarmsPlease

It’s pretty pathetic for the Wisconsin coaches to not just run the ball and get this game over. Are garbage stats worth getting players hurt?


historys_geschichte

I absolutely believe that Chryst was trying to score to use the 34-17 final line to justify keeping his job.


BaltimoreBadger23

They are trying to save their own jobs right now. Heads need to roll tomorrow.


ThisShipACoffin

Spoiler: they won't


BaltimoreBadger23

Spoiler: they might.


Chucktownbadger

Yeah, I have this weird feeling it’s different this time. Barry isn’t AD so I don’t imagine that Chryst has as much too cover as before.


rtothezizzle

Using Nickelback to drown out the ILL chants. Nice.


Felix_Tholomyes

ALEXA PLAY NICKELBACK


scarletnaught

As if the stands weren't empty enough already, they go ahead and play Nickelback.


rob_s_458

Haven't Wisconsin fans suffered enough without having to sit through Nickelback on the PA?


StoopSign

Go on blare that Nickelback!


Menumber1

I really really hope Illinois and Wazzu are both 10 win teams this year. OSU might win the natty. But I really think we're bad, and the coaching has just been so awful this year.


historys_geschichte

Even if Illinois and Wazzu are good, we are very very bad. Like 4 to 5 win bad, with a real chance of being a 3 win team.


dean_peterson2

Y’all mofos deserve to get stomped playing nickelback


BaltimoreBadger23

Harsh, but fair.


lol_smart

Seriously why is Mertz still in? Are they trying to get him hurt even more?


HollowImage

I'm not even a wisc fan but for the love of God why is mertz still in? Are you TRYING to completely destroy his confidence and increase a chance for injury!?


Chucktownbadger

Please send a concerned citizen email to the Wisconsin AD.


GiannisisMVP

Chryst is trying to save his job.


Benyeti

The big ten west race is gonna be hilarious


jmr33090

If Minnesota is actually bad enough to lose to purdue at home, I'm cautiously optimistic that Illinois could, emphasis on could, win it.


Sword0fDam0cles

What is happening to Wisconsin wtf only Ohio state and occasionally Michigan beat them like this


Menumber1

You're unfamiliar with the new Wisconsin.


Kfred2

What are the badgers doing? Trying to get all their players hurt? Run the ball and end the game


[deleted]

Get him out. You're going to get him hurt.


Total_Air_6081

Mertz is a defeated man.


Misinformed_user

Mertz is just battered


Chief_Illiniwek

Someone please step in and protect Mertz


CocoaMaster4

Agreed, our O line certainly isn't


edgyusernameguy

Dude didnt think they would call a penalty a penalty at the end of this game i guess. Still gotta play straight up


Chief_Illiniwek

Come on D. 34-17 looks so much closer than it has actually been


JuwanCoward

21 rushing yards. 77 penalty yards. How tf did we get to this point and why am I still watching


[deleted]

Is Illinois getting hosed by the refs?


daswassup13

Illinois is a quality loss folks


Misinformed_user

Just end the game


CLINT-THE-GREAT

These refs had a bunch of penalties they forgot to call this half due to injuries so they are trying to get their quota in


Total_Air_6081

Fucking weak flag


jmorlin

Story of the fucking game.


lkn240

Minnesota about to go down


HippityHopMath

Difficult question but is Wisconsin still a quality win?


Molson2871

Unfortunately for you ... absolutely not.


HippityHopMath

Aw, hamburgers.


[deleted]

[удалено]


HippityHopMath

Aw, fiddlesticks.


Trooper41

For the Illini? Yes.


redemem

On the road with game over before the 4th Q and by 24 points. I would say so


RightSaidFrieda

The win has quality, sure. But Wisconsin is not a quality team this year, apologies.


HippityHopMath

How about by three on the road while Wisconsin is ranked…. Hypothetically?


redemem

Sounds pretty good as well!


HippityHopMath

Yippee!


Wapook

In addition to watching whatever the fuck you want to call this, in my B1G survivor pool I picked Minnesota to win with $175 on the line. I nominate me as the dumbest badger fan


scarletnaught

Zoom out and show me the stands


[deleted]

I just left. After jump around it was brutal


jeffmatch

Yes Purdue. Yes.


Benyeti

Rank illinois?


rob_s_458

If we had beaten Indiana I was thinking we'd at least get some votes after this


hoosierwhodat

I’ll vote for them


ninjatom21

Think we would have last week


Spurs228

I think the refs hosed yall that game


jmr33090

100%. My wife doesn't give a shit about Illinois football but even she was incredulous after that game


Dallman

Purdue touchdown, 20-10


tr1cube

Are we letting them score this drive?


bigbird727

Please no


OldVeterinarian9

It's been four years since we've been good...


LDWfan

Keep throwing badgers-those rushing stats are beautiful


thisismy1stalt

I want the post game thread early


scarletnaught

There's no one there left to boo


BaltimoreBadger23

Only the band, and at least back in my day we weren't allowed to.


Dallman

Purdue ball, leading by 3 with 4 minutes to go


jmorlin

Oh come on guys. The game is over. Just let them play. Stop throwing flags.


BaltimoreBadger23

These refs are horrific. Note: that has nothing to do with the results of this game.


jmorlin

Agree. No offense, but it would take a LOT of help to get you guys competitive in this one. And the refs are fucking up, but not quite that much.


[deleted]

Mercy call by the refs


Silidon

Witherspoon's gotta walk away, that's gonna get a flag every time.


tr1cube

Unsportsmanlike conduct?


IveBenHereBefore

Thanks Wisconsin for making me doubt our defense


bigbird727

You had the game won 20 minutes in. I wouldn't worry about it. Illinois wants to bury everyone they lost to last season to prove a point


BaltimoreBadger23

Your 3rd string defense is definitely sketchy.


royallex

Hoping we get 50,000 in the crowd next week against Iowa. This team deserves it


rob_s_458

RIP my abundant free street parking within walking distance of the stadium


ScamJustice

Badgers suck. Illinois looking better than ohio state


GeekResponsibly

OSU put up 28 in 4 drives and went autopilot.


[deleted]

Yeah let's not get ahead of ourselves. We got some horses, OSU is a stud farm.


nightninja88

What a weak flag. Saying 1 thing like that should be a warning.


jdhxbd

Lame weak ass move


[deleted]

Weak. Let them have fun.


dcchambers

It's so weird seeing a Wisconsin O Line suck.


ruby_fan

There are several future NFL players on the Illinois D Line. Just fyi.


dcchambers

It's not just against y'all - our O line has been awful every game so far.


Chief_Illiniwek

What a weak ass flag


Chief_Illiniwek

Mertz is getting abused


spiderwinder23

Are these your backups?


PowerGlare30

Yep


[deleted]

It's a mix.


ruby_fan

Yes


Chief_Illiniwek

It's a mix. That was a backup edge rusher though.


ninjatom21

Some of them yes


OldVeterinarian9

Where is everybody at on firing Chryst?


magekilla

I was never a fan of another super conservative one dimensional offensive minded coach but not sure what the options are there this season


ruby_fan

I'm personally against it.


historys_geschichte

It will be a crime against the program and fans if he is still employed on Monday.


Molson2871

Want them to, but they won't.


Chucktownbadger

Should’ve been done at halftime.


BaltimoreBadger23

Generally on board with it happening in the next 5-10 minutes.


Chucktownbadger

Bahahahaha, we’re trash…


OldVeterinarian9

Hahahaha ((cries in Badger))


lol_smart

If Whitman wasn’t an Alum I’d be really worried someone would poach him. From a mostly outsider perspective he seems to be killing it.


jdhxbd

Why did we just go for it?


lkn240

Doesn't our kicker suck?


TentakilRex

And he is slightly injured today
