Seems generous, but nice to see.
I am hopeful that there will be less "need" for beer this year...we didnt sell beer last year!!
Almost makes me want to bet against the beloved, to insure the victory! (note:my gambling history is not good)
Looking at the defensive alone, imagine all these players healthy and still here: Hobbs and Beason at corners, then Adams and Bennett Williams at safety. Along with Bobby and Betiku on the D-line. Offensively? Epstein, Corbin shaken up. Luke ford not getting the waiver, Jeff Thomas and Miller from OU were supposed to come. (Dudek past few years as well) I still hope and expect for a bowl this season, but the staff planned ahead with talent at those positions before injuries and unforeseen circumstances occurred. This is an overlooked point and imagine the Illini now plus those players. Definitely a competitor for the West division this year IMO. This team has had a fair amount of talent taken away yet we still look to have a good amount of potential and hopefully further improvement throughout the season, secondary is going to be the test all season because of depth, and hopefully Reggie gets back healthy and puts up numbers like last yearIt is good we are complaining.
It is also good we are a better team than last year.
Now, only if we could figure out these injuries. And, depth, to cover for the injuries.
Probably against the spread this timeI wonder if our secret admirer will be dropping duffel bags of cash on that line.
If he has anything left after Saturday, that is
They already did a labor day sale right after we beat Akron. $10 Horseshoe tickets. I jumped on itI could see us going to a real good ticket promotion to combat the mass of red.
Maybe this game works like the Wisconsin game during the Rose bowl season.
Thereās always a need for beer!I am hopeful that there will be less "need" for beer this year...

Thanks pal. I now have visions of a last second, 55 yard field goal. But, I guess we make it!Illini 20-17. A close win, maybe. EMU worries me.
We are bigger, faster, and stronger while playing at home. Illini: 38 EMU: 14..... Hot Take: Baker with 2 TD catches
