Go U of something!

Illinois DE Bobby Roundtree had spinal surgery after a swimming incident.  Sounds like he dove into too shallow water or something like that.  He's a class act kid, really, really hope he's ok.  Those injuries can be scary for his life much less football.

I have zero ill will towards Golden Gophers athletics, but if the P.J. Fleck era was a disaster, that would make me happy.

Illinois Normal travels to Northern Illinois for a 6:00 matchup between state super-powers. I will have my 4K IMax widescreen cloud broadcast ready for the neighborhood via ESPN Minus.

They are opening the tailgating lots 10 hours before kickoff. People may die.

He won’t survive then, it’s bowl game or bust in 19

Ricky Smalling is a disgrace to wide receivers

Congrats to Illinois, from a Hawkeye fan.  You could see a breakthrough was coming.

This weekend is huge, which is amazing.  But knowing Illinois and our def against spread/RPOs we'll get slaughtered.

Yeah, I'd like to hope it was a breakthrough, but it was likely just Lovie matching up better with a simple run offense and a few careless mistakes by Wisconsin.

"Indiana is Bowl Eligible on October 26th. This is not a drill." - the BTN announcers.

Worst pass interference call I’ve ever seen in the Michigan game 

Nights like last night are when I miss HickoryHuskers. 
Just slightly though.

Well, they followed up well.  Take care of business vs Rutgers and we have a great shot at going bowling.  MSU, Iowa, NW are all vulnerable, should be able to get 1 out of those 3 if the D keeps playing like this.

Dont think beating iowa in kinnick is very realistic but should be favored vs nu/rutgers. Msu averaging 5 ppg in their last 3 games. Definitely beatable but they're a bit of a wild card.
