Ty, Thank you for bleeding Orange and Blue along with us. We can't wait to see you back on the staff recruiting for us soon

The windy city bulls might be a better team at this point. I honestly don't know what we are going to do with a ton of second round picks when very few selected actually ever pan out.

All a team needs to succeed is to find a coach that fits the team. Brett is Illini through and through (minus the crappy hawkeye issue :))

It was a hell of a team effort. I was at the Florida/Tennessee game earlier this year and I could see then that our Illini had a hell of a lot more heart then this team. The Vols might have a lot of talented individuals, but none of that translates into a good team and that showed in...

He was such a great guy. I remember watching that '83 team playing Michigan from the old endzone metal riser seats as a kid. He came by and shook hands with us all after that game.

Both my kids go to UF so I have personally watched his career and I would say I would much rather look to see if his backup hits the portal, I think he would be much more valuable. DJ is a pocket passer at best (Napier killed any running instinct he ever had) but his accuracy doesn't match...

As a former student who seemed to always have our tickets in sec 107 each of my four years, I am not a fan of the endzone seating. Both of my kids attend the University of Florida and let me tell you, having a student side verse just an endzone is still the way to go. The student section in...

Any ideas where in Orlando this will be played? The only four locations that come to mind would be UCF, the Kia Center (home of the Magic), the Orlando convention center, or Wide World of Sports at Disney?

If we can get past IU and look good doing it we could see them against USC. If that doesn't happen and we beat USC then you can book it that GameDay will be on hand for OSU.

I just saw that the Packers are stealing our special helmets for their throw back uniforms this season. Can Illinois get royalties from this or is this all Nike's doing?

Any news on where Brian Urlacher's kid is going after leaving ND? Do we have a chance here?

Living down here, there is starting to be a buzz that Andrej is getting a full court press from the Gators. I sure hope we can keep him from delaying and taking a visit.

The only thing I am finding is that the tailgate experience will not be that great unless you are willing to pay a lung for parking next to the stadium. I'm having trouble trying to find a spot to do it that is under $200. Anyone finding anything different?

The turn out was actually pretty good for that game. I would say the crowd was probably 40% Illini fans. Remember that the west coast of Florida still does have a lot of Illinois transplants there.

It is about time. Watching the game last night was so painful. I also am not used to hearing the cheers when the opponent scores on home ice like that in forever. The stands are empty, our youngsters are not improving (outside of Rockford), and Bedard looks completely lost. We needed this.
