This is such a must win (as is each game from here on out) that I'm excited again! I love having something "on the line" that makes a game great. (rivalry, bowl game, NCAA tourney bid)
I know that Groce has underachieved and almost any of our current coach targets could come in and do better, but I can't help but root for him. I guess I'll be content with either result tonight. It's a great feeling to not be emotionally invested for the rest of the season. (As has been the case for most of the season)
Go Illini, beat Nebraska!
