Amazing to see only 17 points on the board after the race car start. Illinois State made the better adjustments and too much lack of execution for the Ags. Got to give credit to Illinois State

Shows how important recruiting good and plenteous lineman is when getting into the playoffs

They're a good team. Have to hand it to them

Well who would have guessed that we would have a special teams issue?

^^ That was a massive mental mistake.

No joy in Mudville tonight. Sorry, couldn’t help but dig up that time-honored quote.

If he wants to stay on as the TE coach that's fine, but there's no way Chapatte can return as the special teams coordinator

It’s a funny thing because it looks like a blowout and is no doubt. But could have just easily been going the other way minus some key fudge ups, largely on special teams.

Is this the worse the team has played this season? A bad day for men's athletics as the basketball team got crushed 104-62.

Just as well this wasn’t the game on ABC.

Not just as easily. It was hard for Davis to score and simple for Illinois State. The odds favor the team that can’t be stopped on simple plays.

273 yards rushing usually means you win the game

Well this sucks, on the bright side though, my entire family being in town and watching this rough game still had them leaving with “that Pinnick kid needs to come back next year”. We are blessed to have had plough for 2 seasons and he has literally taken us to the quarterfinals both times. This team is on the edge of a national championship run. I’ll have to meet yall in the alumni section next year!

We scored w ease in Q1. What changed, did we stop going tempo?

I think a majorly confusing thing this game was our lack of qb runs? Am I crazy or was that just missing compared to last game?

We were moving the ball all game. I believe they stopped us within our own 10 5+ times..

Illinois State deserves it. Good season, some very promising players on the team.

I think there’s a fairly good chance the Nashville game is Montana State vs Illinois State. The Illinois coach seems like a nice guy. I’ll root for anyone but Bobby Houck in the final. But I think it’s Montana State’s year.

Maybe we should have taken a few FGs?

When I heard Pysk was injured, my heart sank. There went a leader, DL stud, and Sack man. It also hurt any minimal depth we had - added to an already depleted defense.

When I finally heard he was out, I knew it was a long shot.

Good game, Aggies! That was still a great year for you, especially with the circumstances, and I hope you get back here and beyond next year. Certainly seems like you're on the rise. Nice chatting with you guys this week - I like your fanbase a lot. Thanks for being so welcoming.

Also, I get school’s out and all that, but at least on TV wow that rendition of Hail to California was not good.

Rooting for the Redbirds the rest of the way. I think you will get to Nashville.

9216 so better than last week.

I'm going for the Redbirds but Montana State is my winner pick and has been from the beginning.

Band has been pretty lousy since the rebrand. I was there last week and thought they were poor musically. I mentioned to the couple behind me that we were better in the old days and the wife completely agreed. Do they even cheer or are they preoccupied by other stuff?

Have to respect some pay back. They did not forget

They were formidable and the better team. I'll root for them to go all the way; the story would be amazing

At a certain point the injuries just catch up to you. Tally on the unforced errors and it’s hard to consistently beat good teams like is needed in the playoffs.

A hip flexor really got us.

hamstring, impossible to play through and he tried his best
