What a day of bluebird skies and perfect temps across the lower Midwest.

Are you at the game my friend? If.so, enjoy! Personal scheduling issues kept me from attending. I will be living vicariously through you and everyone else at the game!

The line has moved to Michigan -6.

Without the 2nd half collapse last week it would Illinois -1.5.

I just want to say that (like all of you here) as a long-suffering and loyal fan of this program, it still gives me chills to see proper, high-budget pregame hype on a network like CBS for a game that legitimately MATTERS. Guess I’m used to a short and forced narrative from BTN announcers about 2 minutes before kick.

Win or lose today, I’m so thankful for what Bret and Co. have accomplished here already. We are an actual competitive football program with an actual home field advantage, and it wasn’t too long ago that neither could reasonably be said!

Those uniforms, and especially those helmets, look incredible. I love them so much. Just a perfect way to celebrate this game properly.

CBS got the message for this telecast. Killing it

 

[GallopingGhost]

Very proud to be an Illini today! Lots of history baked into this game. Excited for our future

I LOVE this hokey black and white broadcast with the announcers leaning into the wardrobe of the time. This is wonderful.

Edit: The sideline reporter in flapper gear. This is so good.

 

[JJE]

CBS is going all out on this game. Goosebumps

 

[GallopingGhost]

Broadcast the whole game in sepia you cowards
