Everyone keeps expecting a close game. I actually think we may blow them out. Our players and coaches seem to play carefree, and not scared at all. They know what is at stake here. Stack the line. Stop the run. They don't have a pass game.

Illini 31
Michigan 13

Love the optimism, but the second half Illini team last Saturday looked scared and tentative often. Still think Illini can squeak out a win, but there is a lot to clean up. Holding Michigan to 13 is wishful thinking, especially if the product from Saturday carries over.

We’ve all hyperextended a knee. Ouch! But I don’t understand the effects and treatment for of a more acute version. Anyone here know?

There's a lot that could be going on in silent with the immediate hyperextension diagnosis thatthey might not have made public. You could also be dealing with damage to the ligaments, tearing of the meniscus, or maybe even subluxation or dislocation of the patella. I'm not saying he has any of those things or insinuating it, just saying that just because Bret said it was a hyperextended knee in the immediate after the injury may not mean that was the only issues.

I dealt with a hyperextension and 2nd degree Spain of my MCL. That was a long frustrating recovery process. It's possible Feagin is dealing with worse. And I'm really not trying to speculate, but it's possible the calling of multiple doctors might be to see if something like PRP injections could be used in this case to speed up healing. Or again, it could be something else entirely like knee structure related. Knee injuries suck. Just hoping for as fast and full recovery possible at this point no matter what the issue is. Feel bad for the kid.

I hyperextended my patella tendon and it took quite a while to heal. Stepped in a hole while jogging. You talk about pain. This kid has a lot of potential. I hope whatever it is that he is back out on the field soon.

No thoughts on the throwbacks? Will the Ghost pull through for us?

I think the first team to score a TD wins this one as the other will have a difficult time playing from behind. Note I think Illinois has a better shot than Michigan to play from behind if that's what it comes to. But my score prediction for this one is 23-20 good guys! We have to get back to forcing some turnovers on the defensive side of the ball.

So cool, and such a great game to have in front of a national audience. This is sure to get eyeballs from individuals who have no clue about Illinois' rich program history (at least 20th century). Even though it is just one game, wow can this say the program is back if Illinois sticks it to Michigan.
