They must be turning away anybody wearing orange & blue gear.

A little shocked the spread reached -9. Bielema usually has teams in the game until the end, I have a hard time seeing us losing by that, I guess we shall see.

 

[Mr. Tibbs]

Any estimate on how many Illini fans made the trip tonight?

there should be a fair number - 2000 or so

Our boys look dialed in. Bret knows what is at stake, and has this team ready. LFG!!!

 

[Battle89]

Did they show Illinois at all in that opening? Red love fest for the “top ten brand”.

 

[purcy51]

I want to believe we can break the " First road game of the year" losing streak! I hope this is the year!!

 

[Illini8420]

Let’s go!!!!

 

[LFOD]

Alright, time to destroy these corn boys in the trenches. Go D line!

Beating a ranked non-conference team at home to go to 2-0 to prove we’re a quality team and a real home field advantage? Huge.

Beating a ranked team in their house to go to 4-0 (1-0)? More than huge.

Let’s try to get a stop here.

[IlliniKat91]

That's how we like to start! Good defensive possession

 

[LFOD]

This announcing crew is terrible.

I don’t usually complain about announcers, but I’m going to tonight.

Nice little return. Beatty does a great job.
