This shows we will no longer settle for forgettable losses!
I have this other hare-brained scheme for DIA money-making. Lean in a bit, because I don't want just anyone to be able to hear it.
You ready?
Here it is.
Field a winning team.
We're taking one for the team (BIG). Sucks bigly, IMO.
Dozens of Illini fans can cheer them on to a 3-3 home record.Here's the home slate for 2021 now:
UTSA
Maryland
Charlotte
Wisconsin
Rutgers
Northwestern
You know you don't have to be Irish to go to Ireland, right?I'm thinking this go over like a lead balloon on the Nebraska side also... unless there is a large Irish heritage there that I am otherwise unaware of. This is just odd. Now we can play in front of a 1/2 full stadium & get wrecked on another continent.
LOL this. with our luck and administrative history, our entire OLine will probably be stopped at the airport. Also have to think about how jetlag can affect the team the following week.Well, let's start working on any visa/customs issues now.
This was originally a home Illinois game on Nov. 13th 2021.
So, like in 2018 with the week 3 USF game, Illinois has yet again under AD Whitman given up a potentially great game at home.
With Illinois Football, the best way to boost the excitement around this program is to have great moments at home. A fun week of buildup to a huge home game, followed by (I know, I know, bear with me here) a great outcome. In order to achieve this, you just need to keep the schedule simple, nothing fancy.
I don't agree with moving potentially great home games away from home. Illinois Football doesn't need to be involved in silly gimmicky overseas promotions. Go Illini
Note that Moos didn't give up a home game. They'd have run him out of Lincoln.Just like his hero, St. Guenther, Josh Wonder Boy Whitman is giving up a home game to play in a "neutral" site. What a joke. 6 home games in 2021, two of the first three games that season are on the road. The Champaign Chamber of Commerce should burn down the DIA.
Got our best man on it.Well, let's start working on any visa/customs issues now.
IMO there has to be another shoe to drop. We've got to be getting something in exchange for this from the B1G or someone else. No way Whitman would do this as a one-off. He cancelled the Soldier Field game against Northwestern; this is an even bigger version of that mess.
How would you feel if you paid $60k/yr. for a luxury box?
