Cool. We kicked their butts there in 2010. Leshoure ran for 330 yards.
I’ll be there, just like I was in 2010! Last time, they did EVERYTHING possible to keep Illini fans out. Other than the standard allotment given to visiting fans, they restricted all other sales to NU student and season ticket holders first. There was “supposed to” be about 5k Illini fans (~12% of the crowd). It ended up being closer to 50/50, which was an amazing turnout by our fan base given those circumstances.
Idk if u guys care, but here are my game times and TV predictions for this year.
8/31 vs Eastern Illinois 11:00 CT/12:00 ET BTN
9/7 vs Kansas 6:30 CT/7:30 ET Peacock

9/21 @ Nebraska 6:30 CT/7:30 ET FOX
9/28 @ Penn St. 2:30 CT/3:30 ET CBS
10/12 vs Purdue 11:00 CT/12:00 BTN

Reasoning for Nebraska game on FOX. Nebraska is a historically good program and they have a really easy schedule next year until that game against OSU. They might be undefeated coming into that game against us. I just have that feeling that they might be the Colorado of next year where everyone hyped them up when they were 3-0, then their season falls off a cliff after that.

Broadcast from Colorado.Love this!
However I do think that the stars are aligned to the Michigan game being FOX Big Noon Kickoff. OSU, PSU and Washington are all on byes that weekend, and the historical aspect is such a great storyline. Unless the first half of the season goes poorly (and even if it does) it would be hard to pass it up. UW/NW, Iowa/MSU and USC/Maryland are the main alternatives in the BIG.
It really depends on our record coming into that game...Love this!

I'm impressed with Coach Gibbs. Seems like a down to earth guy and a thoughtful and effective communicator. I think his group and the team in general will like him making it easier to coach them. He reminds me of various, very capable high school position coaches I have met here in Georgia over the years. I think he will be a ++ recruiter.Meet the coach: Illini DBs coach David Gibbs
Can someone tell me how I am supposed to feel about this "potential" hire?
