He has also been in college football for 70 years. There will be some other tape on him.
Illinois vs Michigan, Saturday, October 19th, 2:30pm CT, CBS
Yeah I was just talking about this year. We won't face a ton of teams that line up like Michigan.
My senior. The worst year in Illinois football history.

Been watching the line move in Michigan's favor, so I guess the traditional powerhouse is gaining momentum.
Since I don't expect us to win in Oregon, THIS is the game that really matters and gives a shot at turning the corner. With a win this weekend, we can instantly be ranked in the Top 15 and be in the discussion for the CFP. A loss, however, probably drops us out of the Top 25. The last two games (PSU and Purdue) have significantly impacted my confidence in this team. But if we can pull off a victory against the Wolverines ----- the trip out West could be really, really fun, playing with house money!!!
24 Michigan
16 ILLINI
(5-1 against the spread. 6-0 in predicting the winner.)

Please Dan we need a dislike button/s.
Exactly. Until Sunday this is the only game that matters. Win it and we’re on a great long term path regardless of what happens in Oregon. Oregon is the least consequential game on our schedule.

I'll see you that year and raise you my senior year of 1997. 0-11.
(The fact that there can even be a legitimate debate about "worst year in Illini football history) when there was an 0-11 season is sad in and of itself . . .)

A win Saturday makes me pretty optimistic that 9-3 is very attainable. A loss at Oregon, and then any other game on the schedule is winnable. At Rutgers would probably be the most challenging game remaining on the schedule outside of at Oregon.
I was at the Louisville vs Illini in 1997. It was a terrible game. That was the only game Louisville won that year. Hope we never see that again in Illinois. We will beat Michigan. The linebackers have to have a great game.
As a Bears fan. This and the Army game against ECU are the only games that really interest me since the Bears are on a bye. Maybe check my fantasy teams a bit but nothing worth watching pro-wise.
