[QUOTE="Deleted member 16340, post: 1511678"] I was at the game, so a few notes: 1) I’d say closer to 60-40 Cal fans. There were a noticeable number of Cal fans in Illinois sections and Cal had a number of fans in the upper deck on their side too. The Illini band was head and shoulders above the Cal band. They were sharp, well disciplined, and very entertaining/engaging. They win the battle of the bands hands down. They were also extremely engaged while in the stands. They refs were terrible! Replays in the stadium clearly showed that they were making incorrect calls. On the Peters out of bounds play. I was almost straight across from the play in the first row. It looked like he was just past the marker, but I will admit that I didn’t have a view from above to see when the ball crossed the sideline. My question is why not measure? The significant thing was that if you look at the first down marker it has been moved, it’s not straight. Also 99/100 times that same situation at the goal line is a touchdown. One of the replays shown in the stadium looked like the tackler actually hit the head with the shoulder pads and that’s what caused the head to moved backward. I was actually surprised because I initially thought it was a good call. I don’t know if the same replays are seen on TV. All in all, I was proud to be an Illini. Good crowd and band and I feel the team represented well. [/QUOTE]
