Pregame: Illinois at Northwestern, Saturday, November 30th, 11:00am CT, BTN

Idk, I get the Bears aren't winning but I am still encouraged and have enjoyed the heck out of watching Caleb play. He is the real deal and will outlast any lame coach the Bears hire. Because oh BOY do they like their lame coaches.
That was obviously a joke. Iowa does make the most sense but I think I would go with the golden ear of corn or the two states split in half at the Quad Cities with the bridge holding them together.

I like it: The Twin Bridges Trophy.
Would love to see the same results that took place in 22 when we skunked NW. what turned last year’s game was Witcher’s fumble turned into a TD.

I’m flying up from atlanta for the game. I’m doing my part. Have always wanted to see an Illini game at Wrigley and hopefully see a 9th win.

Leshoure ran for 330 yards last time at Wrigley. Lets get Josh the same.

This may be the last time we will see Illinois football at Wrigley. Northwestern won’t want to move a home game after building a new stadium.
I’ll be there.
Maybe bring some cooler weather back…

There is a growing presence (coming out of the woodwork) of illinois fans in Chicago. I hope we can get a regular wrigley game.

Can second that first part. The Illini apparel I see now vs. 2019 is night and day.

What I learned with the first Wrigley game is that it only game to fruition because some higher ups in the Cubs organization went to NU and wanted to collaborate with them. We'll likely never see an Illinois home game at Wrigley, unless there's been enough churn in that office to warrant it.
Maybe if we keep putting up 7-8 win seasons and bring a ton of fans, but chances are slim.

How about I bring 60° or McCray runs for more yards than Leshoure did in Wrigley?

By end of day Saturday…….
9-3 Illini FB
6-1 Illini MBB
6-1 Illini WBB
With all 3 ranked come next Tuesday.
(And 4 of those 5 defeats will be considered excellent losses, away from the friendly confines of Champaign).

See you all there! Go Illini! 9-3 would be an amazing year!
Dude, the wind chill will be 14…a low turnout is a given. One site I saw was expecting 8,000 fans (excluding rooftops). Id even take the under on that number.
