Ready to sit back, enjoy our final game with Luke, and appreciate how far we’ve come.

At the stadium. Little windy on west side. All ready heard my first ILL.
0% chance we’re holding their offense in the 20s. If we do end up winning, thinking it’s got to be a 45-41 type finish.

Not today. Family stuff and too much going on in my "real" job so I stayed home. I usually only work home games. The Citrus Bowl game was a present from my wife last year! Surprised the heck out of me!

Really appreciate the updates from fans who are there RE: the crowd breakdown! Obviously winning is the only real thing that matters, but it would also be cool to once again showcase that Illini Nation will travel well when invited to bowl games. There was a lot of message board chatter online last year about how the crowd at the Citrus Bowl was going to be a South Carolina home game ... instead, I would say they at best had a 55/45 split in their favor, and honestly the Illini fans sounded much louder and more passionate on TV, so it made up for it. It would be reasonable to expect more Tennessee fans at this one, but it would be a decently powerful message by Illini Nation that we are a big boy fan base if we are getting over 40% of the total crowd.
So, keep the updates comin'!

Lots of I L L chants on Broadway! Didn’t buy tickets to the Luke Combs bar private party, but plenty of Orange and Blue here at Kid Rock’s
I wonder if the ESPN experts all pick Tennessee or will they have learned their lesson from last years embarrassing prediction.
I may have missed it, but is Trimble ok? I was hoping he would get some playing time in this game.
My thoughts when I saw this was that he's portaling. Hope I'm wrong.
Thought the same and also saw Tysean Griffin is listed and just was reported he is portaling...
Uhhhh maybe I am out of the loop being so hyper focused on the Bears and Illinois Basketball but did I miss something with Brayden?
Is he injured or is this a very bad looming sign that he is considering entering the portal? That was not very fun to read.
