There are two other more important games before even thinking about Michigan
As Robert from Illiniboard has said we are fans not players, we can think as far ahead as we want to.

Looks like we got us a good old-fashioned “dog” fight! blackdog vs. destindogAs Robert from Illiniboard has said we are fans not players, we can think as far ahead as we want to.
This is a great post! Especially these three wonderful sentences.It's a non-issue for us. We have jobs to do. Do your job. My job is going to the game and buy beer. It's a tough job, but I do it anyway. The staff gets it. The kids get it. Josh has more people selling beer more quickly so he gets it. We're in as good a shape as we could hope to be in come first week of November.
Its honest work but someone's gotta do it... Which I have also done for 15 years and will do again this weekend rain or shine!This is a great post! Especially these three wonderful sentences.

CLOSE TO A SELLOUT!! LETS MAKE IT HAPPEN!!Illinois 27-13
Rain will pretty much be done by 1Reports of 70 degree weather, with rain and 45mph wind gusts. Sounds like a first team to 20 kind of game to me.
I will be there and think we will sell it out this time. I have decent seats, but they won't be as comfy as the Nebraska game. Watched in front of a giant screen in a sports book in Vegas. Nebraska fan left at half=time.... good time!CLOSE TO A SELLOUT!! LETS MAKE IT HAPPEN!!
I wish we had a board Rain Man who could analyze the seating chart and when certain areas become available to gauge how many tickets we have actually sold! OR, we could just get a report from our inside agent, @BRucks!Number of seats available (71)
116 (Horseshoe): 2
130 (West Main): 1
107 (East Main): 10
109 (East Main): 58
This is assuming it's not the old trick where seats magically start appearing when the number available dips below a certain quota.
Just saw this post now. I thought it was odd one section suddenly had two full rows available in the 60s when there's 75 rows. So we're definitely not 71 tix from a sellout - they're just being deceptive on slowly trickling tix for sale.I was just waiting for someone to post about tickets, lol.
Whitman was being deceptive in his little email to Robert when he said 3,000 tickets available to the public. He didn't say 3,000 tickets to a sell-out because they have far more unsold tickets.
They've been playing this game of cat and mouse all season trying to feign low supply thinking that percieved low supply will increase demand, then trickling out new tickets for sale gradually.
Look at the East Main seats which were previously "sold-out" suddenly there are now two entire rows of tickets available at mid-field rows 63 and 64. There are 75 rows in the East Main, that means that they haven't even begun selling tickets for rows 65-75. Same is true for Upper East sections with more rows unsold the further you move towards the end zones.
Not even close to a sell-out this week, just more anti-fan ticket games being played.

Another important game that was played on Thanksgiving was the 2001 Finale vs Northwestern. I've tried for years to find that game on YouTube, but could only find a newsclip.That game was on Thanksgiving, postponed because of the Kennedy assassination. Listened on the radio at my uncles house in Sesser.
That’s not what I’m seeing. Bring those ponchos!Rain will pretty much be done by 1

Illinois a fairly big number north of 28
Spartans 9
(I'm going to keep going with 9 until someone breaks double digits against this Illini D)
We cannot just show up and expect to win just because MSU will be without some players. Play all 4 quarters the way we have been and I can smell another victory. We now have a target on our backs for the rest of the season and nothing comes easy. Go Illini!Illinois a fairly big number north of 28
