[QUOTE="TheChief4Life, post: 1815053, member: 747708"] One other thing I'd like to say while it's still true (honestly, I'm aware next week's game may drastically change this). Say what you want about how upsetting the games have been the past two weeks, but even with those two games included, Illinois has entered the 4th quarter ahead or tied in every game except one this year. They've lost every game they've lost by one score, and had a chance late in two of the three games to tie the score (however slim those chances were). The Illini have played in some of the most exciting games I've attended in the past decade. People have stayed to the end of every game (the talk about people leaving with like a minute left tonight aren't fair; fans stayed until about 1:04 left in the game). BB is doing wonderful things. He's trying to make Illini prominent, and it may be the toughest jobs in college football today. This is NOT the "Illini of old". We say it because there are times it feels like it, but there is really no statistical or even "eye-test" that seems to indicate that. Anyway, on to Michigan! [/QUOTE]
