For now, yes.For now - seems Illinois is ranked fairly
I think if we win TWO (including on the road vs. #9 Oregon), we might even move into the top 10 ... even just beating Washington handily and losing a close game in Eugene likely keeps us right around #20 or possibly a drop down to #21 or #22.Seems about right. Win two in Pacific NW and climb some more.
Hope the Rev does well there. A Valpo alum told me this joke:I will be pleasantly surprised if we beat Oregon Thursday.... They looked quite a bit better playing the Tide than we did. Hoping I'm wrong against a top ten team a long way from home.
On another note: Watched Roger Powell and his Valpo team duke it out with Bradley yesterday in double OT..... His team was not near as athletic, but played like he did back in the day. Hard and smart. Look out for them if he can step up the recruiting!
I told the same joke regarding Michigan, to a Michigan alum. He shook his head, and agreed.Hope the Rev does well there. A Valpo alum told me this joke:
-How can you tell if you’ve met a Notre Dame grad?
-Don’t worry, they’ll tell you.
Well, well, well.I told the same joke regarding Michigan, to a Michigan alum. He shook his head, and agreed.
... And even more the week after if we continue to take care of business.Well, if we win tomorrow, we will move up quite a bit! Couple ranked teams ahead of us have already lost to unranked opponents.
