[QUOTE="Roundball Sage, post: 1807612, member: 748116"] The Illini Orange beats the Big Red with what used to be the boilerplate Cornhusker style: Strong running game and dominating, punishing defense. By watching the Illini game, the Husker fans were reminded of what they used to see for many years on a weekly basis from their own team. They call the stadium in Lincoln ‘The second biggest City in Nebraska’ on game day. And it is that. And the Illini turned that madhouse... silent. And that kind of silence at a place like Nebraska is making a big noise across the Nation. The Second Biggest City in Nebraska was largely empty when the fourth quarter moved along. Not the second biggest city anymore. What a great National advertisement for Illini football. Indianapolis has never been so close to Champaign as it is now. Whatever happens the rest of the way, the Illini footballers have had a remarkable year. The kind of year to build on. The kind of year to be proud of and that will be remembered for years to come. The kind of year that gets us ready for a terrific Illini basketball season. Being successful is FUN. The sun is not the only big Orange thing that is RISING. [/QUOTE]
