Does anyone know where i can watch this without cable?

 

[Mr. Roberts]

So I have DirecTV, and they are in a pi**ing match with the local Fox affiliate, so no Fox TV and no Fox streaming with my DirecTV login.

Any SAFE online streaming options recommended?

Can't wait to watch 2 hours of commercials. Go Illini!

I think we can keep this game close. I think that all our fan base wants today.

The 9 overtime game, Penn State was ranked #7

Today, they're also ranked #7

It's the Jewish New Year today. Hopefully also a new year for our lines, our propensity for absurd penalties, and our play calling.

I avoided everything about the pregame thread out of frustration from the last game. I don’t what has been said leading up to this week.

Here’s my take: many of the predictions about the Illinois season had us losing last week and this week. So a loss today won’t derail anything. We can lose today and still put together a realistic 8-4 season. But if we lose today the same way we lost last week… ugh… some heads are going to have to start rolling.

I predict a loss, but with improvement.

Penn State: 28
Illinois: 24

If the first quarter ends with us in the lead or reasonably close, I will be cautiously optimistic.

Also, I just lost any respect I may have had for Big Noon Kickoff.

Can anyone remind me, these are positive changes right? We’ve had a lot of opinions about the OLine play. Is this something that helps?

Any alignment where Crisler is not playing at Tackle should help. Would guess Slaughter will continue to rotate at guard as well.
Let's hope we can right the ship.

If anyone cares. Here’s the stadium attendance 19 mins before kickoff.

FOX may not have brought the Game Day crew but they brought sky cam. First time I've seen one in Memorial Stadium.

 

[AutoPoster 3000]

This is the first time I’ve ever seen a studio team preview the upcoming game without even mentioning the name of one of the teams.

OK enough of this clown show/Ped St. pep rally
