Even though the model has us favored big, these boarder war games always seem to be close no matter rankings (Missouri ranked 195...). Glad Bello is back to at least lifting weights. This team imo is hitting its stride right into the B1G season.

Finding a place to sit can be a challenge.
I like this. It might be a little of both. Can we change: :”…someone living on the LEFT side of the river to WEST of the river? Because if you’re facing south that makes us LEFT of the river…which would thus make us the skeptical/inept ones.
AND This simply cannot be. Because everyone who is anyone knows Illinois is inhabited by brilliant, open-minded individuals.

Another version is that they like to watch. I'm stickin' with that one.
Well....I live in Springfield, Mo....and I was once a brilliant, open-minded individual. Having lived here for almost 30 yrs. I will have to admit I am a dunce.

This was the first Braggin’ Rights game we attended! It was unbelievably fun. The second was in 2016 when Malcolm Hill scored 21 and led the Illini to victory. Both games created memories that were special, exciting, and fun, with fans split about 50-50. Our crew went pregame to the amazing Ballpark Village both years, with the IFUND Fighting Illini party (with band and cheerleaders) was held that second time. All in all, the Braggin’ Rights has a fantastic atmosphere that I hope to be able to participate in again in my lifetime. Go
llini, beat Mizznoz!

I was at the 2006 game. We had dinner at Charlie Gittos downtown (amazing place, I go there often), pregame drinks at the Adam's Mark Hotel bar and then stumble-walked over to the Scottrade in a huge swath of loud, boisterous Illini fans. Just a hell of a time. I smoked cigarettes at the time and the outside smoking area at halftime was packed with fans from both sides and you couldn't have a conversation because of the deafening, hilarious chants going back and forth at each other. One of the best times I've ever had a sporting event.
