Be safe , my friend............................................I can’t remember ever wanting to call out of work for Illinois football, but I won’t put the bad juju on us.
Huge day for this program.
Wisco is ripe to be upset at home.
We just may have the defense to do it.

As a new dad, Illinois' Calvin Hart feels new excitement, responsibility playing football
Illinois Fighting Illini football player Calvin Hart got a special gift on his birthday last week when his daughter was born.
By Anderson Kimball Decatur (Ill.) Herald & Review
CHAMPAIGN — Calvin Hart’s birthday last Tuesday came with a nice surprise. Two days before the team played against Chattanooga, Hart’s daughter Malani was born.
An eager Hart started against the Mocs in a 31-0 win before racing home to see his newborn daughter.
"It was very exciting," Hart said. "Just going into that game was a different feeling, playing with just a different purpose and different responsibilities."
The baby was expected to be born in early October, with a tentative plan being put in place after Hart gave the news to coach Bret Bielema.
"I said, 'Let's play this game Thursday and we'll get you in first flight Friday morning and get you back Monday. How does that sound?'" Bielema said. "He's like, perfect. And I'm like, alright, so let's roll. And that's kind of just CJ you know, his dad's a pastor. CJ's a very faith-based kid. His parents are incredible role models for him. I think that's the maturity that he has."
Hart, a junior from Fort Lauderdale, Florida, went back for the weekend after the team’s Thursday game before returning at the beginning of the week.
Your recollection is spot on.

I'm waiting on the game thread to list my menu for the victory day............................
Im guessing NL 3 being dessert?
Had to Google RD Redemption to figure out what you were talking about.
On a complete side note, congrats to Google on being basically synonymous with online search. I actually prefer and use Yahoo for searches, but few would know what I meant if I said “Had to Yahoo.” OK, back to your regularly scheduled programming.
To hold the Badgers to field goals would be sweeeeet.I can’t remember ever wanting to call out of work for Illinois football, but I won’t put the bad juju on us.

I’m seeing a close, last possession decides it kind of game. I think we’re ultimately going to need Tommy D to make some plays to win.
Are we ready to take that next step as a program? I’m not sure we are just yet. Hope I’m wrong.
