This is turning out to be a really weird day. Hopefully that bodes well for us.

Based on the crowd in the parking deck and on the shuttle bus, it will be 30-40% Illini fans.

Anyone know someone who could give the basketball team an alibi tonight

The Illini already beat Nebraska, so my Christmas stocking is already full. But, man, it sure would be nice to top it off with a win tonight over UCLA.

Win tonight and I'll personally polish Bret's statue for a full week.

Does the wet weather benefit us or them better?

Benefits them in a big way - their lead running back is an animal and their DL is really good.

Still feel good about the game but it’s definitely gonna help them.

We won the toss and deferred! Not a bad start!

Huge 3rd down early. Great play by Prater

 

[Illini4Christ]

Pitiful

 

[TentakilRex]

That was suboptimal

 

[JKR]

Wide open

 

[TheChief4Life]

How… how is someone THAT wide open?

 

[dsg]

Too easy

 

[Ramrod2010]

Blown coverages are so baffling dumb.

 

[aaeismacgychel]

Oh you’ve got to be kidding me. The one thing we couldn’t have happen. Just brutal mistake

 

[MoCoMdIllini]

So much for not giving up the huge plays.
