I love that the pre-game threads are back! We are so close!

Hopefully we can catch Wyoming in a really bad place…lots of inexperience, lots of new faces and the first true road game for them.

I hope it feels like a true road game! Totally get that we need to give casual fans a reason to come back, but there’s more than enough population in a pretty small radius around Champaign to get more than 42-43k to buy a cheap ticket. And that seems to be the threshold for it to look decent on TV.

Got a ribeye in the oven and sweet potatoes and a salad to go with it .......also a tramadol and some 420 to peak my hunger............

Go Illini..............

The only thing that saved that game was... the actual game. Which was weird for us, am I right?

Adrian Martinez saved us. Played his typical inconsistent game and missed a ton of wide open receivers during the game. He had time to pass and really did miss a number of throws. He decided to show up a little to late and try to make it a game.

Nebraska 9-2
Tied 9-9
Illinois 30-9
Illinois 30-22

I'm really hoping for a shut out and close to 40 minutes of possession. Not saying show the whole playbook. But no conservative trotting through this game. Think it would be a boost for our players, even more than us fans.

I hope the offense provides more points and gives the staff a chance to cycle more guys into the game than my prediction.

For reference, the last game where Illinois was favored by double-digits is Charlotte last year (also -10).

Ohio State is favored by 15 points over #5 Notre Dame. We're favored by 10 over Wyoming who has 3 returning starters from last year. Guess we still have a ways to go as a program........

Notre Dame is also going into that game with a VERY inexperienced WR corps as one of their top returning players tore his ACL last week.
