I bet you we will keep it closer than you think. It will just make this past game feel all the more frustrating.
How many yards do they effortlessly throw for? I’m an orange kool aid guy usually, but color me depressed...

As they should be. No student should need to pay to watch this.
My wife, who has no connection to U of I nor Illinois football (other than being married to this sap), showed me a picture she came across Instagram making fun of how few students were in the student section.
Nothing new to those who frequent this site, and something that has been made fun of in the past, but the complete and total apathy from the student base towards this program needs to be addressed.

They show little interest in anything outside of their studies.
I hope they are at least partying on Saturdays instead of studyingUnfortunately the problem seems to be mainly with the students that are now enrolling at UIUC. There have been studies/surveys of the student body done and most of the students state they are at UI for one reason only - for the degree from this particular school. They show little interest in anything outside of their studies. There is some work being done to identify ways to rectify this but unfortunately that means changing the culture of a great many who have no interest at all in athletics.
