We should waffle stomp 'em. Even with mass suspensions. Just hoping we come out of it injury free.
If you get to campus early enough, theres plenty of university lots that are free on weekends. Personal favorite is the one directly East of Illini Tower (5th and chalmers SE corner). Gets full fast however. Additionally, last time I got a parking ticket, it was 15 bucks. Cheaper than paying for parking.

Anyone know on the east side lower section how many rows back is it until you are sitting under the top deck?
52-14 Illini...AJ Bush with 3 TDs and runs for 1 TD.
Thanks. Good to know. Especially about the parking ticket cost. Funny.
That ticket cost is an expired/unpaid meter I believe. Parking in a lot w/ out a permit (during its enforcement period) is more like $40 IIRC. A number of lots on the SE side of campus near Penn I think maintain being free on the weekend even w/ a game. But it's been a couple years since my family and I parked there for a game. Walking down Penn to the stadium is an easy walk IMO.
Best part is, I've paid the meter for the limit (2 hrs) before and probably was in the spot at least 3 and a half hours and wasn't ticketed. One of the few times i'd rather pay the city than the university.

The couple of games I attended last year they had food trucks right outside grange grove. I assume we can expect food trucks at this game. Can anybody confirm?

Was there any mention of players out/suspended for this game?
Been that way for years. Cash only.

"Wouldn't say a lot of major injuries. "
So, I guess that's a good thing? Strange way of saying it.
A heads-up for those of you parking in lots 43 & 44, be forewarned that the Irwin Practice Facility construction has closed the sidewalk on the West side of 4th St. (there is no sidewalk on the East side of 4th along the cemetery). Makes for an unsafe walk in that area. You should cross on Peabody Drive and walk past the ARC and enter through Grange Grove.

That's the deal I got as well. The other thing about YouTube TV is that it includes a family plan, or basically four or five other devices. So I can watch on my computer or my TV (with the chromecast) or on my wife's iPad, the latter of which is important because we're going to be on a cruise and at sea on Saturday, so I'll be getting up early (It's Alaska time), setting up my wife's iPad and watching the Fighting Illini cool off the Hot Flashes. So yeah, YouTube TV.
2 changes really jumped out at me.
Dorms stay open until after the thanksgiving giving break game. This needs to continue to happen in the future. Probably won't make much difference this year and other down years. But it would be great to allow students to stay on campus in the future when we are good and the game could mean something important.
Portillo's, Jarlings, and Avanti's concessions?!?!?!?! That's a 5 course meal.

I was there during those years (started fall of '89, graduated fall of '94). Those were some exciting teams that just didn't get it done...how did you forget Griffith on the offensive side of the ball?!?!?
I was about the opposite. Did 2004 through 2008 and saw a Final Four and a Rose Bowl.
