Teams that lose 63-0 don't get bowl games.

I may be wrong but if Lovie is let go at season's end he has something like a 10 Million $ buyout.
If they do it next year it's less than halve that.

Buyout is $12 mil. Goes to $4 mil next year.
And it isn't going to happen, but he should be gone. That team quit on him.

Worst choice for Mod ever. CCS ownership should be proud.

They used the same search firm that Illinois did to find Lovie.

Illinois just lost a "rivalry" game by 63 points. The average margin of defeat this year is 32 points. The buyout shouldn't be a factor anymore. This is an embarrassment and a failure.

Still waiting on that bowl game you promised us under Lovie's leadership.

Great stuff. Giving up 63 points and scoring 0 points yourself kind of 'checks all the boxes'.
At least when the Illini were going 0-11 with Ron Turner, he was enough of an offensive genius to score a couple garabage TDs at the end of the game to make it 63-14.
Its also funny to give up 63 points to Iowa of all schools. It would make sense if it was against Ohio State or Michigan, but Iowa? It seems like they are the last team in FCS to still start white guys at RB.

Great game everyone! Illinois gave up 63 points to the Hawkeyes. Something I will probably never see again in my life time. Truthfully, I don't even think Iowa is very good. They are mediocre at best. I almost felt bad as I watched that game.
