Lol Mayer is nuts

“We don’t know if he’ll ever play again”

Just out there saying stuff

To be fair to Mayer, he wasn’t at practice because of caffeine overdose.

Illinois is either going to be a dumpster fire tomorrow night or completely blow us out of the water. There is no in-between in my mind.

I think he was playing a drinking game. Drink a Monster every time Hunter says something trashing Illinois and their fan base! :wink:

Wasn’t there some rumor mid-season that Mayer had a major injury issue that was going to potentially cause him to miss the rest of the year, and then he played the next game with zero issues?

You know, I’ve drunk a lot of coffee in my day. There was a time I used to drink seven cups of coffee a day! I’ve never heard of caffeine overdose or, fer gosh sakes, caffeine poisoning. The kid IS an “interesting” character.

So, we go from advanced stats, to this: Illinois F Matthew Mayer cites 'caffeine poisoning' from video game binge for missed practice: 'I like a caffeine-induced euphoria'

Yes. On the same day as Skyy Clark’s departure. Illinois 247 said broken foot + surgery for Mayer which would end his season. Then nothing happened

If Matthew Mayer has anything to say about it I’m sure they will come out very amped up with a ton of energy

The pessimist in me, specifically when we play Illinois, says that this is an Ayo-less 2021Illinois redux.

How is Maryland this bad for a team ranked #21 and OSU this good for a team that has been so bad this year? Senior night?

How did Willard get a tech on a call that went his way?

OSU isn’t as bad as its record. Maryland is terrible on the road.

looks like OSU shuffled their starters again?

I think they started all of the seniors.

well, when you have only won 4 conference games, its safe to say you haven’t found the “recipe for success” so you can afford to keep mixing it up.

I know, but they lost nine in a row! But, yeah, I know, they certainly have a lot of talent. But they’re 4-14 in the B1G and are locked in 13th place! So hard to explain these things!
