Still trying to forget it. That was a hell of good team you had that season. Met some great Tech fans. Beautiful weather, night game, our starting QB was back from injury. I think it even looked like a game at half. I think I was gone before the 4th quarter.

Yall better get ready! That '12 team was all sophomores. We are bringing the same team to dallas except for qb. Plus we have a defense now.

Nah. That 2012 team wasn't even a bowl team.

Welcome, Phil. I think this will be a good game. Your team comes in with lots of confidence having beaten Penn State and Northwestern in its final two games.

That is the game Tevin King tore his ACL. Hasn't been the same since.

I hope that one WR gone.

Don't be fooled. We struggled in every game except Northwestern(5 TOs with their starting QB out). Our defense is bad (but did improve some) and our offense kept putting them on the field (100+ rushing offense). Our backup QB for 2012 (played some against Tech), was our backup for most of the season, is likely starter. We can't stop teams and we can't score. You lose to us this season, you beat yourself.

He was finally showing signs of the 2012 King even with his very limited carries this November. I guess the 2012 gave him a chance to focus on his classroom responsibilities. Oh, wait, wha....

Hope to see some of you in Dallas.

I hope that one WR gone.

You mean #4. Nah... He's a 6th yr SR. Had an injury earlier but just starting to return to form.

I don't think he's talking about the current #4 but the #4 that's with the 49ers now.

I was being facetious.

[Detlef, Future UI AD]

Illinois had a bunch of turnovers that game, Louisiana Tech took advantage, killed UI with play action.

Well I'm sure that won't be a big factor this year...
