Illini Football: The Foot of the Mountain
August 30, 2005 8:15 AM
The reality facing Illinois this year is more of same: most are predicting another 9th or 10th place conference finish in the solid Big 10. Quite a reward for the die-hard season ticket holders who have patiently suffered through a 7-12 home record featuring too many routine up-the-guts on 3rd-and-8, poorly-executed arm-tackling, and drive-killing procedure penalties. (Although the tailgating has been good.)
For the sake of the team's fragile psyche and the fan's eroding support, a Saturday victory is so very, very crucial.
