#Illini offense ranks as 4th most efficient in the Big Ten and 17th in America, per ESPN FPI.
Illinois QB Katin Houser has elevated the offense since returning from a broken hand.
Bret Bielema said, "I was with some NFL scouts today, and of course they were asking about him. To me, his two best plays were throw away where we didn't create negative plays. He used to try to get more or throw it in a bad scenario, but he continues to grow."
UCLA is up next on @foxillinois

ESPN’s blind resume tool is interesting.
When fans rank teams with the logos and names removed, some clear gaps emerge versus the latest CFP rankings:
• Illinois: fans have them No. 16, committee has them NR
• Boise State: fans No. 15, committee No. 24 (+9)
• Iowa: fans No. 25, committee No. 15 (-10)
Fans put the Illini above Iowa 65% of the time, Boise State 69%, Houston 54%, LSU 61%, and Missouri 67%.

Quentin Coleman leaves the game with an injury. I *think* the chant from the Texas Tech student section as he limped off was “He’s a p*ssy”
Possible I misheard, this place is loud.

A reminder that Illinois is the only school in the country with the following:
- 2 straight Bowl wins
- 2 straight men’s tournament wins
- 2 straight women’s tournament wins
Could extend the streak this year 👀

Four Indian women were verbally abused, physically attacked, and threatened at gunpoint by this disgusting racist woman who has been identified as Esmi Armendarez Upton.
Do your thing, Twitter.
Make her infamous.

The apple doesnt fall far from the tree...
Meet Alaina Kunes, the University of Mississippi student at the center of intense public backlash after a viral Ring doorbell video captured her and a fellow classmate making racist gestures and monkey sounds outside a Black student's apartment. The video has triggered a formal university investigation and ignited a massive corporate firestorm for Kunes Auto Group, a prominent Midwest dealership network with over 40 locations.
Public records, archived social media posts, and internal whistleblowers make a strong case that Alaina Kunes is the daughter of the company's Chief Operating Officer and MAGAt Scott Kunes, and the granddaughter of its founder, Gregg Kunes. In an attempt to mitigate the fallout, Kunes Auto Group issued a statement asserting that she has no employment, ownership, or professional affiliation with the company. However, corporate representatives notably refused to deny her direct family ties to top executive leadership when pressed by local news outlets.
This high-profile family scandal has significantly amplified scrutiny over Kunes Auto Group's corporate culture, which is already embroiled in active federal litigation. The dealership network is currently facing a federal discrimination lawsuit filed in August 2026 after a Black customer found a racial slur printed on her oil change reminder sticker at a Wisconsin location. Another incident in March 2026 involved a salesman sending a racist text message and an ape meme to a repeat customer.
Civil rights attorneys representing the victims of these past incidents argue that Alaina Kunes' behavior reflects a top-down, systemic culture of racism permeating the founding family and executive suite. As the university's investigation into the viral footage continues, the direct connection to the ownership family has re-energized public calls for boycotts across the automotive group's Midwest footprint.
