Game Thread for SIU vs. Northwestern
- Thread starter lou v
- Start date
While I hope we still comeback to win, I don’t think it matters in the grand scheme because we’re not going to be competitive in the conference. This is not like the year we lost to Illinois St. We had Thorson and JJTBC, and we had a Hank defense. Even if we come back in this game, are we going to win 4 more to get to a bowl?
We also had Carr emerge later in the year - who was a big part of the reason we got to 6 wins.
Well, I bought a season ticket, which was three hundred something.
Bunch of recruits in front of us, in NU gear, chanting SIU!
Remember Scott Frost needs a golf partner. Gawd it does not get any worse .
Potentially the worst loss in Fitzgerald’s tenure.
It’s going to be hard to come back from this one.
I just don’t get it? 200 million new facilities? 8 million for Fitz! And this looks like solid division two football 🏈! Am I missing something? Or are Fitz and the players just robbing the fans? Our defensive backs lost this one! Totally out of position all day! That is on the defensive coordinator who is likely making 700,000 a year for what Hank was doing in his sleep!
Wow. Wildcats nation taking a major step backwards yet again. Sad sad situation for us.
You watch a game like this and you think well at least now something drastic will happen in the program to make things better, but then you realize oh probably not!
Congratulations to Southern Illinois ,Remember 3 weeks ago when the wildcat faithful were drooling over an undefeated match up in happy valley now it's probably an ass kicking for the ages.
That was the worst defeat I have seen since “1983”! Epic fail! All the money 💰 spent on this product when SIU produced the same, or better product.
The story of this game is our defense. Not Hilinski. We gave up 31 points to the southern Illinois
Definitely gotta congratulate the Salukis.
As bad a loss as this for NU, good for SIU. They wanted it more from the opening snap.
This game is a big red flag the program is in serious trouble. They looked bad on both sides of the ball but the number of offensive turnovers took them out of the game. Great energy from SIU and their coaches. They deserved the win. The program is regressing as the season progresses. Hard to see after this game how the team can be competitive against some of the better BT teams they will be facing.
Plenty of blame to go around. Who played well? Hull, MOSTLY until he fumbled. Nobody else based on my one and only ever viewing of this game. Defense was terrible, but then again we gave the ball away 4 times and gave them no help whatsoever.
The same ugly flaws we saw in the Nebby and Dook games surfaced again.
Difference w/ the just barely Nebby win was that Nebby has bad coaching as well.
And, did it really matter that Fitz cared more about winning conference games last season (w/ the only win coming against a bad RU team)?
This team has enormous structural defects, starting w/ the coaching staff.
Frost never adjusted to the adjustments Fitz made, and there was the little thing of the fake kick.
Yes, well aware that the O-line and run game imposed thir will for the last 21 minutes (tho, did give the ball back with plenty of time on the clock for a winning drive), but so many things had to break on the side of the Cats to eek out a W at the end.
