Illinois vs Nebraska, Friday, November 6th, 7:00pm CT, FOX

I assume Nebby wears red helmet white uni. Good call on blue.

While I do love the all blue, one of the best parts of playing a red team at home is that their fans blend into ours so you can't tell how many visitors there are.

I'm not a fan of the idea of the "blue out" (at the very least, could we call it something else?), but will be interesting to see. I can appreciate doing it against a red team, and I can appreciate doing something different, but I just don't think it will work. Like others have alluded to, any smattering of orange in the crowd will be very noticeable. Any red in the crowd will be very noticeable, and it would have disappeared in a sea of orange. Anyway, I hope I'm wrong and it looks cooler than I'm thinking it will. Either way, I don't care if our fanbase collectively decides to wear neon pink, as long as we can secure a bowl bid.

I know it's a Friday but a bit surprised this isn't a sellout. If we took one of Duke or Purdue I think it would be.
