They don't even stand up, they don't do/know the stick it in chant...you know they are dead if drunk college kids won't even do a chant with sexual innuendos, and they made no noise on defense.

I was actually thinking about this and I think y'know maybe kids these days are a bit too woke/aware/whatever to want to chant along with "stick it in stick it in stick it in." Maybe that chant has outlived is usefulness, I've honestly always felt it was a little crass tbh.

One of the dumbest chants ever, sorry and it has nothing to do witj amy sensitivities.

I beg to differ only slightly. If UConn beats Indiana (no longer inconceivable) watch what happens.

I think a W will do nothing to move the student attendance needle. The alumni needle maybe.

Your football ticket pack for the USF game is in the mail.

Some posters seem to be putting too much faith in the B1G label insuring a large traveling contingent from the opposition. This was Illinois, not Michigan or Ohio State. How did they represent? 4 or 500 fans? Not bad for a team that's gone 5-7, 3-9, 2-10, 4-8 the last four years. Most of yesterday's crowd was UConn. And it was not a bad turnout for what was a pretty good game. Looks like the corner has been turned.

Lol, the inevitable "it's just Illinois." It's a fair point, I guess. Still the rest of are looking at the development of our team and competing against a decent FBS squad is definitely progress.

What about "the corner has been turned" didn't you get?

Maybe it was Whaler11.

Whaler: “What, no popcorn? I had a coupon!!! I hate that Dave Benedict. Just give me a hot dog”.

Vendor: “Oh, boy”

I could see you not not getting served in the second half, but popcorn wouldn't have been my guess.

Great to see Donovan calling out the students. It continues to be an embarrassment. Kudos to Dale. Always there repping in the student section. We need more hardcores. Football and Basketball. the students just don't seem to care like we used to. I really don't know what the solution is, the apathy is killing us.

We spoke w some of the students making their way back to the busses at 2:30p - they were saying that the state police rolled through and shut down the entire lot/tailgate and ordered the kids to "go in or go home" - obviously the 75% of students there in their pastel / random basketball jerseys had no intentions of going in, but telling them to "go home" an hour before kickoff is not ideal. we tried to convince some of them to join our tailgate and come in with us but they had no interest and repeatedly referenced the team sucking as to why they wouldn't come in and support their school in this game. I was actually surprised to see how many kids came in for the first half, I was expecting less based on the mass exodus leaving the parking lot at 2:30. Frustrating.
