I liked the game at the Barn last year.

One of my absolute favorite highlight vids to go back to. That and some of the BTT games. But that was clear example of “step on their neck and push down”. What a win.

Also: At least according to CBS sports app, ILL is up to a -7.5 favorite, despite a large percent of the public backing Minnesota.

Now ignore my tinfoil hat: but that usually means some sharps are throwing large money on Illinois. Also that +7 initial line is positioned perfectly to trap the public to think “Minnesota is gonna play them closer than that!” And collect bets. Now no one can tell the future (maybe Vegas can idk) but… Vegas has to make money somehow … 🤔🥸

Little fun trivia as we head into tonight ... we truly have been the Road Warriors™. Here are the road records for each Big Ten team over the last two seasons:

Illinois: 9-2 (.818)
Michigan: 7-2 (.777)
Ohio State: 8-4 (.667)
Iowa: 6-5 (.545)
Purdue: 6-6 (.500)
Wisconsin: 6-6 (.500)
Maryland: 4-6 (.400)
Rutgers: 4-7 (.364)
Michigan State: 4-8 (.333)
Indiana: 3-8 (.273)
Northwestern: 3-8 (.273)
Penn State: 2-9 (.182)
Minnesota: 1-10 (.091)
Nebraska: 0-10 (.000)

Let that sink in, lol ... we have won 82% of our Big Ten road games the past two seasons. That is the same record we have at home during that time span! :LOL:

Why is Michigan the only team with less than 10 road games?

My favorite part of that game was BU allowing Ayo to return to the game and record a triple double. Players coach. I love it.

Tell me something please Pru, when did 420 come to stand for what it has become and how did it get started?

(Just asking because I'd like to know.) Back in the old days I would know these things. In these modern times, I find other ways to relax. OBTW; watching Illini BBall is not one of them.

Thanks.

Minnesota has been playing well with a bunch of new guys and coach. I think we match up really well here and will blow out this game.
The model thinks itll be closer though:

#17 ILL 71 64.11%
#62 MIN 65

Origins. In 1971, five high school students in San Rafael, California, used the term "4:20" in connection with a plan to search for an abandoned cannabis crop, based on a treasure map made by the grower.

Glad we finally are playing again I've watched the Missouri game 6 times, and while it's still fun, need to see the Illini whip someone else.

This game worries me, because I don't think Minnesota knows they aren't very good yet. So, I think they'll play us very well.

It reminds me of the Flintstones episode when Pebbles & Bam Bam were able to play music, because they didn't know they were too young to know how to play music.
