Dukie V will be embraced tomorrow as we run SPARTY off the floor. My friends, tomorrow night will be the night we remember for our Illini finally arriving. The boost a win over #5 MSU would give to the team would be cataclismic. Tomorrow, my friends, will be the beginning of our run to the Big Ten title and the begainning of our 2011 National Title campaign. Hope Orange Krush has a good breakfast spread tomorrow morning!!!!!!!!!

Dan, thanks for the IL logo, it's on the poster! Now off to get my 4 hours of sleep.

*ilphotog* · Feb 6, 2010, 04:56 AM

3 hours until doors open, hopefully no one is waiting outside!

*danielb927* · Feb 6, 2010, 05:30 AM

Good morning and welcome to College Gameday!!!! Why am I awake? Because Orange Krush is the greatest student section in the land!!!

Go Illini!

*illynifan34* · Feb 6, 2010, 07:32 AM

LOVE THE SIGN. Happy to see you woke up on time and posted before you went.

Nice turnout

Botb9 · Feb 6, 2010, 09:13 AM

Just saw a quick Gameday blurb before Sportscenter. The place is a madhouse!

Dan · Feb 6, 2010, 09:16 AM

Place looks nuts. Won't break the 8k record but nice turnout. I've already caught a glimpse of danielb's sign.

*Champaignillini* · Feb 6, 2010, 09:22 AM

All set for Gameday.

Kasino81 · Feb 6, 2010, 09:25 AM

Except that was only students right? The doors for the public opened at 9 so people can still enter

Illinifaninhawkeyeland · Feb 6, 2010, 09:31 AM

Just got a text from the youngster. She said the place is wild and rockin. I may try to get pics up later

Botb9 · Feb 6, 2010, 09:31 AM

It was right before 9 when I saw it so there may still be more coming in.

*DrewD007* · Feb 6, 2010, 09:33 AM

Reporting live inside the Hall. Half of A and B are roped off and save for a few empty seats it's all full in the sections that are opened.

SJOILLINI · Feb 6, 2010, 09:34 AM

Looks like a great turnout considering the horrible weather we had around here last night. I live right next to I-74 about 8 miles East of CU, and I just finished watching a tow truck pull a car out of the median this morning right behind my house. There were quite a few accidents on area roads yesterday and last night. I imagine a few more people would have went to the Hall this morning had the weather been a little bit less icy!

None the less...looks like a respectable turnout! GO ILLINI!

Botb9 · Feb 6, 2010, 09:38 AM

Drew, are they going to open more sections?

I'd say they'll put them I'm C section should more people trickle in.

*Illest* · Feb 6, 2010, 09:49 AM

The place looks absolutely nuts on TV. The commentators are having a hard time talking over the crowd at times. I just hope the Krush don't all lose their voices for tonight!
