Alright, it's time to get a confidence booster in, lol. Struggling NU team, Illini team on a winning streak, back at home, got the scare out of the way at Nebraska ... everything should point to the guys comin' out and taking care of business and winning by 10-15. I hope so, anyway. If it's close again, I'll be more mad at how nervous I am during the game than the simple fact we didn't blow them out, because as Ayo said ... this is the Big Ten every night, and we are The Hunted now.
Northwestern 66
#5 Illinois 78
P.S. I felt very vindicated that Nebraska finally nabbed a win at PSU. Obviously, PSU isn't at the top of the B1G or anything, but there really isn't a team in this league right now that doesn't have enough pieces to knock off somebody on any given night.
