Illinois a medium amount…..Michigan a medium amount
Illinois vs Michigan, Saturday, October 19th, 2:30pm CT, CBS
I love the throwback uniforms. Are the jerseys for sale anywhere?
3rd* option
I think the first team to score a TD wins this one as the other will have a difficult time playing from behind. Note I think Illinois has a better shot than Michigan to play from behind if that's what it comes to. But my score prediction for this one is 23-20 good guys! We have to get back to forcing some turnovers on the defensive side of the ball.

So cool, and such a great game to have in front of a national audience. This is sure to get eyeballs from individuals who have no clue about Illinois' rich program history (at least 20th century). Even though it is just one game, wow can this say the program is back if Illinois sticks it to Michigan.

?? Someone else out?
I believe Meatchicken will be wearing throwbacks too.
Nope, Laughery, McCray, and Valentine all above him
The feedback I have heard has been overwhelmingly (almost unanimously) positive.
My opinion?

I would like this as a show of gratitude for the info...but this is one of those posts that shouldn't be liked
We have a bad offensive line and with that comes the need for your RB to throw a block? Valentine's effort resulted in a scoop and and score and he's our speed option.
Valentine also missed a block on a first half sack. If he is in the game, it is a running play.
The only thing I know is that it's going to be FUN. I was just getting used to being semi-confident about our Illini's chances in every game. Penn State? Okay. No problem. Purdue? Yeah, that second half stung a bit. I'm driving home from Chicago and listening to the game on the radio. Wow. I almost turned it off, but I had JUST enough confidence in a comeback to keep it on. We can't give up on these guys because they don't give up in the game. Let's just win another and move on. It's only the biggest game ever. I'm really trying to relax, enjoy the pageantry of it all, and watch some athletes compete out there for our entertainment. I sometimes forget how much those young men put on the line every game. Let's make Memorial Stadium shake for them. I ramble. Apologies.

I cannot recall a specific game I want us to win more than this one besides the 2002 Sugar Bowl and the 2008 Rose Bowl. This game is about the entire history of the program. Winning a title in 1951? Thrashing Washington in the first nationally televised college football game at the Rose Bowl? The east stands swaying? Beating the national champions in 1990? Outright conference champs in 2001? None of this happens without Red Grange humiliating the invincible Michigan Men 100 years ago. For a perennial loser of a program there are so many figures and moments for us be proud of as fans. Beat. Michigan. *

The offensive isn’t that bad. They gave Altmyer enough time to throw against Purdue. They should use their TE’s more to block.
I gotta admit. I’ve been thinking the same thing.
