Jeff George. Yes!! I've been waiting all season for this.
Zero expectations for this game anyway. It's in essence a throw-away game. Neither Lunt nor Crouch is capable of taking us to the Big Ten championship game (not this year; not the next two). It's time to see -- over the next 6 games, hopefully -- if JG has the skill set or not.
On the more optimistic side, it's time for another "Illini dream game". It's been way too long since Juice & Company provided the last one. Go ILLINI!
If the game disappoints, we've always got Kyle Hendricks and the Cubbies to turn to tonight!
