So, get it out of your system: Jokes about shrimp on the barbee, down under, Oz, upside down, that's a knife, and g'day myte, can officially begin. This offer will expire, however, so make use of it while you can. :thumb:
Just saw in twitter the freshman jersey numbers have been released.
Neither Florida kid (Green and Carney) are on it. I'm hoping it's because they were early enrolles

Like the enthusiasm. I really don't know what to expect, except that we should see some significant improvement from those players who got experience in the system last year. I think 4 wins is realistic, 5 would be great, and I'd be ecstatic with anything more than that. Strangely, it's the D I'm more worried about, even though maybe I shouldn't be since that's Lovie's forte.I believe we will see an incredibly different team this year than last year. We have a great coach just look at his the stats from his first two seasons at the bears and the bucs both teams show alot of improvement although tampa bay really didnt give him a chance. We also have a winnable schedule and the team has no distractions because no one expects them to win more than 3 games and you practice alot more stuff we the cameras and coaches aren't watching your every move. My prediction is that we get to a bowl this year #wewillwin

If the defense gels, the running game is sound and we can do enough in the passing games to keep the D honest, we go bowling. I say we doods it.

Well, the over/under is set at 3.5, what do you think? I think over and here are the 4 wins that I can see (all home games):
Ball State
Western Kentucky
Rutgers
Indiana
In his second season as Illinois offensive coordinator, Garrick McGee is confident better numbers — and more wins — are on the way this fall.
