holy cow, i had completely blocked that game out of my mind, frosh at Mich at all at the time. but now it all comes back. Ricky. Prayer throw to a little geneva kid with no catches on the day. Michigan d-backs finding a way not to make a play. Lou effing Tepper. Wow.
I was at that one, what a heartbreaker for us. I remember 3 games where we didn't beat Illinois at home. That one, the year b4 where we tied, and we lost one in 1999. Ill's a wierd team.
yeah, it is weird. we won in michigan twice in the 90s and haven't beaten michigan at home since 1983. although the refs blew it pretty hard it in 2000 ...
JJ was a beast! Got jurk'd around when Landry left, could have been a nice NFL QB!

@AllPro777 Yeah, he did not do well in the UFL but that does not negate his stellar NFL & College career(s). Stop hatin' my friend!

no that game was at home against Michigan State IIRC - I was there watching it live - I'm thinking Mid-late 80s

Simeon is washed up though. Did you see him in the UFL last year? he was terrible.
He needs to retire.

Wait till next year- Juice and the Illini will annihilate Big Blue 52-0. I just hope Juice, Benn, and Dufrene stay for next year.

@FlameOfAnduril Hey, Illinois has beaten Michigan twice in a row. That's not something that's happened for a while.
I especially loved the Illini win over Michigan from last year. The game turned on the Illinois goal line...
