[QUOTE="Fighter of the Nightman, post: 1947219, member: 590800"] This is the classic Illini fan paradox ... many here will expect a loss but then go ballistic if/when it happens as if it is a totally unexpected and unacceptable surprise, haha. I guess actually sitting through the four quarters of a deflating loss can never truly be "prepared for." Meanwhile, if we look better and win, I fear the fans (especially the casual fans who help to get our attendance into the 50k+ range) will not buy back in unless we beat Maryland, as well ... and that's a tall order.
