I never said there was no good reason, learn to read you retard.
I said HIS reasons were terrible reasons. I said you didnt need much of a reason to pick Illinois over Nebraska. I said IF you give a RETARDED REASON then that is on you.
Again i never took issue with someone picking illinois over nebraska, that was never the issue. Lovie Smith is not and was not the coach at the time of the retard writing it, and illinois was not strong last year at 2-6 so suggesting they carry momentum forward is just retarded
look at their performance this year as the perfect example they got beat by UTSA, Maryland, and Virginia (boat raced there) and are currently 1-3, they are not a good team so suggesting they are a good team and carrying momentum from last year is retarded. If it werent for Nebraska beating themselves they wouldnt have won that game either but nebraska can beat themselves any given saturday. So yea the reasons he gave were retarded.
You really should learn to read and comprehend.
