280 million dollar facility! Plus gazilions for coaches! Everyone is living off tv revenue! But there is no friggen way people in Chicago will buy a ticket to this game experience! How many in stands today?
It is totally inexcusable. 15 years in and still same old ****. Yeah we've had some success along the way but we are lacking in so many fundamental ways that it is truly staggering. This was an FCS team that was 0-2 that came in today and clearly looked the better team, more prepared, more motivated, and more ready to win today. That is 100% on our coaches.
By the way, the ONLY reason this wasnt a 14-point loss is that SIU played prevent defense starting with 5 minutes left. We didnt do much on our scoring drive, and while SIU wasn't able to keep us from closing to within 7, they did successfully drain 4 minutes off the clock, which was the main goal.
