Personally, at my age (72) I have been lured into the Illinois Revival tent many times. Yet somehow this does feel somewhat different. Maybe it's the emerging faith in Luke and the OC & DC as well as BB.

So here I am, offering my Orange and Blue painted torso on the altar of the football gods. Will my heart be removed while still beating or will the sun reappear miraculously in the sky?

12 hrs till we find out.

I'm concerned about the weather, PA could get the tail end of Helene.

I am no meteorologist (IANM) but it looked like from the tracking that the remnants of Helene were heading more toward Chicago than PA. At least the major parts of it. I posted the weather forecast from the National Weather Service yesterday and here is today’s forecast. Hasn’t changed much since yesterday. Just doesn’t seem too bad as far as rain at game time. Less than a tenth of an inch. Winds seem fairly mild, too, no? I don’t know how a 3 to 6 mph wind can affect a football pass.

Today: Rain, mainly before 2 pm. High near 71. East wind around 7 mph. Chance of precipitation is 100%. New precipitation amounts of less than a tenth of an inch possible.
Tonight: Rain likely, mainly after 5 am. Cloudy, with a low around 62. East wind 3 to 6 mph. Chance of precipitation is 60%. New precipitation amounts of less than a tenth of an inch possible.

Welcome to the tent revival, brother Coop! May you tearfully repent of your years of doubt.

Nothing but upside for the program this evening. I'm just thrilled that for the second consecutive weekend (in September no less) we'll watch The Beloved play on one of the four trad broadcasting TV networks in a weekend evening prime time slot. I can't recall that ever happening (even on ESPN) while I've been a fan.

Am gonna enjoy every snap. We love no other. :illinois:

I've got confidence in our WRs. I'm a little worried about punt returns. It only take one muff on the road to wreck the game

id be completely fine with a blanket no catch approach to punt returns this game. steer clear and avoid disaster

100% this is a house money game, really nothing to lose barring the injury bug.

that said,
Illini 31
PSU 17

the world finds out a battle tested Illini squad is real and an untested PSU isnt. whiteout energy curtailed by rain fall......
