If we get up big on Purdont, he will run up the score.

Purdue is in a bad spot. ILL just lost to PSU. Then a bye week AND a huge revenge situation. Last year good ol' Ryan Walters decided to call the def plays in the 2nd half last year vs our Illini to try to beat us down. This will not be close and I'll be betting IL plus the points no matter what the spread is. Trust me. Bielema is more pissed than most people realize. Karma is only 10 days away. BTW - Wisc....feel free to physically pound them into the ground so they are good and sore coming into the game (as much as I don't like WIS....this Purdue/Ryan Walters situation is on a different level).

You're absolutely right. Bielema really hates Purdue. The Peoria Charter bus kerfuffle tells you as much.

What is the Peoria Charter bus kerfuffle?

I doubt it .
it’s just not like him to do that
if we are up by +17 in 4th qtr ( let’s hope) we will see some 2nd & 3rd stringers in

Always mildly amusing (but totally understandable) on days with an 11 a.m., kickoff. By the fourth quarter the east upper deck is baking. The light stands cast a shadow on the south end of the upper deck. A cluster of fans are all bunched up and sitting in that narrow shadow!

And they migrate as the shadow moves!

They contracted with Purdue when PU was hard up for a charter. We cancelled our contract with them and are now using a company out of Iowa to bus our teams

I missed the memo on that one; as well.

URBANA — Peoria Charter’s CEO says his company was abruptly notified last month that the University of Illinois athletic department was ending its two-decade transportation partnership — with little explanation as to why.

We’ll win big. This is not last year’s Purdue team nor last year’s Illinois.

I hope you're right and think you are. I also think we can beat Michigan at home.

I think we can beat Michigan, but our Defense has got to stop the run to beat them. AHen had got to go heavy box and make them beat our strength in the secondary.

True but it seems some way, somehow, Purdue comes up with a herculean effort in the trenches to beat Illinois. PU can't repeat it again, it's only vs. Illinois

.

Anyway and any score will be a good win vs. PU.
