Memorial Stadium Sellout Watch update for Minnesota:
Comparing the ticket availability for this game vs Purdue (55,815), I continue to think 57,000+ is in play for this game.

Illini - 24
Goofers - 17

Looks close only because of a garbage time late TD.

This is a must-win for us, and I think we'll get it done. Pretty or ugly, it doesn't matter, just get that W.

We really need Bryant. He is and Zak are our go to receivers. Colin has been stepping up. Josh is very good for his size.

The stat I wish they'd include is the number of receptions that result in 1st downs.

It is surprising we only have one common opponent with Minnesota (Michigan). By all metrics and similar level of opponents, we should be favored by 7-10 points (which is why the line surprises me).

24 Illinois
14 Minnesota

The bookies, oddly, favor the Gophers by 3 when I last checked.

Not me - I see the Illini winning by 7+ ... as long as they don't play the sloppy way they did during the Purdue contest.

Advance metrics and Illini injury questions are why the line is the way it is.

Coincidentally, Scott had a pretty long career with the Vikings.

Love the early kickoff for the game. I can enjoy the game and then head to a friend’s for a Breeders Cup party.

bye week next weekend
keep him out this weekend and you buy him another 12 days of no context .
I’d be shocked if he played this weekend . it’s 2024, not 1994

Or 2014, if you're Brady Hoke and coaching Michigan.

The Fireable Offense of Brady Hoke

Shane Morris, already laboring, took a helmet-to-helmet hit in the fourth quarter vs. Minnesota that left him wobbly and seemingly concussed. And then Brady Hoke did the unspeakable, which is why Michigan should fire him immediately.

Win this week and it would be the longest in-season streak of ranked weeks since 1990.

I’ve said it before , and it bears repeating , the only team that can beat us in the next 4 games is ourselves . if we play just an B+/A- game , we win them all .

PB health is more important than any football game. Andre C never recovered from his concussion.

His teamates will win the game without him.
