Weather looks real nice! Maybe slightly warm for late September but high of 84 and overcast. No more rain on the horizon. Cooler in the morning to make tailgating not miserably hot.

We’re on our way down from Rockford right now, and it’s raining cats and dogs. It’s been like this all night. REALLY glad this storm is going to avoid Champaign…

I have been reading all week about 4-8, lucky to get to 6-6. Geez. Let’s look at how we lost last week. We played conservative on offense with two replacement linemen. We scored three points in the second half. The D played a lot better as the game went on as we only gave up 10 points. If we keep the same offensive scheme in the second half as we did in the first, we would have won. I believe we can still be a 8-4 team at this point. Let’s get after SIU today, stay healthy and hopefully get our best defensive player back next week in Brown.
