In reply to TalktoChuck in the pregame thread, I also think we cover +10. In fact, I’ve come to the conclusion that I will be betting the Illini all season when we are underdogs. This way, a win is great as always, but hopefully some of the losses can still be enjoyable as well.
In a way, this works without money too (not as well), in that you can take some satisfaction in beating expectations while we rebuild to a level where we consistently beat opposing teams.
Glass half full today.
Also, Muck Fichigan. Like really. Muck them hard.
