If you are really game I must note: I have to work that Friday until at least 5 with a high probability I'll be there later than that.( sometimes working in healthcare sucks) But, I'll be ready to leave as soon as we finish.
Pregame: Illinois at Nebraska, Saturday, October 29th, 2:30pm CT, ABC

2021 - Crazy to think last year vs. Nebraska - Peters was hurt early so Sitkowski picks up the win by going 12/15 for 124 yards and 2 TD's. Leading rusher was Mike Epstein with 16 carries for 75 yards. Love was #2 w/ 12 carries for 45 yards. Brown picked up a grand total of 5 carries for 24 yards. McCray did not have a carry. Duece Spann led the receivers in yardage with 1 catch for 45 yards. Williams led the team in catches with 6 - so that's about the 1 consistency from the offense in 2022.
On your way in from Montana can you pick me up in OKC? Joking but not actually joking

And no tolls. That's a plus!
So, you'll be taking the great circle route?
Right. Of course I could be completely wrong and ND-Syracuse goes at 11 and we get the 2:30 PM ABC slot.
Bret said in his post game presser after Minny that Josh will be back this week
that is great news! I appreciate the update
McCray will take off quite a bit of the load off of Chase Brown's carries (especially in those key short yardage moments)
“Talk” hardly describes it. I don’t think I’ve ever heard any Illini team described that way.
When I volunteered at the food bank yesterday here in PA, the Penn State fans were not interested in talking football at all. Usually they do, but yesterday the subject was changed. It wasn’t even entertained.
Guys, where’s the enthusiasm?
OK, I’ll stop now. Mustn’t awaken the jinx fairy.

I know they’ve been quiet about the true nature, but Josh didn’t have surgery did he? I have my own thoughts on what it was/wasn’t based on the video if he’s returning this year.
I answered this earlier. If he was out for the year Bret would say he is done for the year.

It’s weird having these other games ACTUALLY really matter, lol … part of me wants Purdue ranked when we get them, but part of me wants the 1-game cushion in case we have a mess up game elsewhere.

It also feels like after the Big Ten season being a total mystery so far below OSU and Michigan, Purdue @ Wisky and Minny @ PSU are finally going to give us our bearings.

Same here. It's a win-win for our illini either way.
I'm a nobody, but I think the badgers take care of business on Saturday.
Wisc will beat Pu on Saturday. I would assume all Illini eyes will be on the game.

That's only true until it's not. See: Illinois vs. Wisconsin
