Congrats to our colleague, Roger Denny, who was introduced today as the new AD at Oklahoma. He made us better every day & I have no doubt he’ll do the same for the Sooners. Gonna miss you, my friend. Whatever you might have learned from us, I promise we learned tenfold from you.
Super cool that @IlliniAD is here in Norman for Roger Denny’s presser for @OU_Athletics.
Always a proud Illini, but especially today for the excitement that Roger is bringing to OU!
What an incredible moment for so many reasons!
BOOOOOMER!

"I don't want to be one of those guys in year six where I'm one of the highest (sacked QBs) ever."
Caleb Williams was sacked a franchise record 68 times last season.
He's been sacked 12 times this year in seven games.
We have played through 7 opportunities and I know we have attacked each week to have success. We haven’t been perfect but we have grown and there is no more important week than the one ahead of us. Our crew loves to work and get better so this bye week is HUGE.
1-0 mentality #ILL #famILLy
ESPN is on at the gym and every guy is wearing sneakers with his suit
It looks horrible. It looks like a bunch of guys stole a suit from their dad and don’t own dress shoes. That trend needs to die.
