The Galloping Ghost
- Washington, DC
Let's knock off another ranked team in prime time in their house.
We playing with house money.
No, Georgia at Alabama is. We might be on NBC though.
bigger goals. 2-1 vs penn st, mich and Oregon and we make a run for that 12 seed

We're going to be Penn State's first real test after their cakewalk OOC schedule. Let's break some more hearts.
The whole "big time game on night time national tv with a number next to our name" is so great!

Pretty sure that B1G has no contractual agreement with Disney (unless i am mistaken). Only possibilities moving forward, I think, are CBS, NBC/Peacock, Fox/FS1, and Big Ten Network.
I believe SEC has agreement for ABC.

Kent State is really bad, they were absolute nip and tuck til the very end vs Bowling Green, and UWV is not good. They really haven't had a convincing win yet from the standpoint of quality of opponent and performance.
Oh and, Tom Allen's the DC so...

After tonight's win, I'd say there's a pretty strong chance we are the B1G Saturday night game on NBC at 6:30. The only other games next Saturday that have confirmed start times are Nebby/Purdue and Maryland/IU both of which are 11:00 AM kicks, with Maryland/IU on BTN. Other than that, I don't really see a chance for another ranked vs. ranked matchup as the other B1G games next Saturday are OSU/Sparty, Oregon/UCLA, Wisky/USC, and Minny/Michigan.
Correct. SEC games only appear on one of the ESPN family of networks at this point.

First, let's see how PSU fares on Saturday. If things go as expected, I'll speculate something in the range of.........
PSU -6.5 to -9.0
Fighter of the Nightman
- Chicago, IL
A sold out crowd and win vs. ranked KU got me PROUD of Illini football again.
A road win in a hostile environment vs. a ranked Nebraska team got me starting to believe we legitimately might be good.
A win vs. a top 10 PSU team in Happy Valley at night? … wow. We are playing with house money.
Let’s go get a W, boys.

And oh by the way, this is also PSU's homecoming game.
Big Noon kickoff show may still go to Happy Valley but most likely not because of it being a night game.

Not next week, but is Gameday in play for the Michigan game?????GameDay anyone?
I am getting too cocky....
probably not lol, but it has nothing to do with us and everything to do with Georgia-Texas on the same day
Alabama at Tennessee unfortunately
After carefully considering the 
show they gave us last year in BBall, I'd go over on everything. O&B 32-24
