Illinois at Oregon, Saturday, October 26th, 2:30pm CT, CBS

we're definitely not short on very good tight ends. Herbert (Justin's brother) and Shadiq (perhaps the best athlete playing for Oregon this year) are the #2 & #3 TEs

96 1/2 hours to game time. It's our time. Make the best of it fellas.

Shout out to Josh Whitman for the culture he has created. I was hard on him early on, but he had a vision some of us did not see. Whitman, Bielema and Underwood have brought excitement beyond our wildest Illini dreams.

I will be eating Duck a L'Orange Saturday night in celebration.

I had to use my retired teacher “Shush! We’re on offense” three times last Saturday. There’s a guy whose heart is in the right place, but who obviously doesn’t know/understand football, who starts a very loud I-L-L chant when Illinois has done something good on offense. Too many people who don’t know football answer him. Drives me crazy…

We covered 19.5 by the absolute skin of our teeth at PSU, then gave up 49 points at home to Purdue.

I kinda like us to cover that line (this is not a Chip Kelly run-it-up Oregon offense anymore), but it's two touchdowns without breaking a sweat.

Michigan is DRAMATICALLY worse than Oregon. No comparison.
Am I missing something? Seems like an overtly and purposely pessimistic reading of our covering the PSU spread. We lost by 14, and they scored their last 7 in garbage time.

After all these years, on IL, you’re surprised?

I'm thinking I might try to fly into Autzen for the game. Anyone know where I can get seats in the Illini section? Are there ticket forums for Illini fans that work well?
If someone here has 2 tickets that they aren't going to use, I'd help put them to good use :)

EDIT: Last time I was there, I saw my 2nd favorite O&B Boise State and Kellen Moore hammer the Ducks, so I'd like to see my favorite O&B do the same!

If the Illini could beat the 1970 version of the Ducks (Dan Fouts, Bobby Moore (Ahmad Rashad), et al) - I was at that game -, no reason to think we can’t pull this one off.
