All that much sweeter when we beat them.I think we have a little more to prove. I’d say KU -6

There are no guarantees, that's why they play the games.This is such a big game because you win this game and we have a legitimate shot on the road at Nebraska which would start us 4-0.
Sure, Oregon & PSU might be “guaranteed” losses, but that Michigan game starts looking winnable with a win here.
Go win us this one boys
Thanks! @IlliniInBuckeyeState do you concur? If only we could trust the DIA. In the past that’s meant “1,000 tickets left until we release the next batch of cheaper tickets”.@IlliniInBuckeyeState is your man, but someone else reported hearing on the radio that we are within 1,000 of a sellout … so 59,670 tickets sold if that’s true.
I’m gonna take a guess at KU -5.5.anyone ready to guess the spread ?
i’m thinking KU -3
So annoying how our crowd is usually more loud during offensive 3rd downs than defensive.- quiet down on offense.
If we are able to hold Kansas to 17pts we'll make the Playoffs this year. I'm thinking we need to score at least 34 in this one to take it home. Going to be a tough game but it's doable.My prediction for the Kansas game, the fighting Illini 32 and Kansas 17.
Yup, some people here have some short memories - I wish I could I forget last year's game too! The KU offense is going to test our defensive schemes looking to exploit mismatches, lean on their rushing attack and then create situations where our secondary make wrong decisions and give up big impact plays. Jalon Daniels and the Jayhawks are fun to watch (when they're not playing the Illini).If we are able to hold Kansas to 17pts we'll make the Playoffs this year.

We have to wear a uniform to the game? Where do we get it? I'd complain, too.For those complaining about the uniformed crowds (I’m agreeing, btw), remember when Mizzou released a video a couple years ago about when to cheer and when not to? And stuff like that?
They got made fun of so badly, and I was over thinking “Illinois needs to do that…”.
He may be on to something. Look at the ratings for the Army Navy game.We have to wear a uniform to the game? Where do we get it? I'd complain, too.
The Fighting Carrots?Gotta be the all orange uniforms next week, you’d think!
They promised to not sell tickets later with a lower price and I haven’t seen any offered. I wonder how many were sold to speculators.Thanks! @IlliniInBuckeyeState do you concur? If only we could trust the DIA. In the past that’s meant “1,000 tickets left until we release the next batch of cheaper tickets”.
Edit: A sellout would be a HUGE milestone for the BB era; I’m cautiously optimistic.
Both you and Loren Tate were spot on. According to ACTION Network, I'm seeing:I think we have a little more to prove. I’d say KU -6
I agree! Special Teams could also play an important role. Has potential to be the type of game where a late field goal really matters; and there is likely no room for silly punt or punt return mistakes.Our defense needs to step up against Kansas. Stay in the game and bring it home late.
I’m out of town until tomorrow night so I haven’t been able to update the tracker in the few days, but looking at the tickets site, there appears to be less than 1,000 tickets available for sale. As you note, that would typically be the point in which they release a new batch of tickets to appear available for sale on the site. The key difference this week is that they will be giving away thousands of tickets, so it’s hard to know how many of what they’ve set aside has actually been given away at this point. Is there a chance that, say Wednesday is a cutoff date, and anything they haven’t given away by then will be listed on the site as available for sale? If so, that would be unfortunate to not have those out there earlier.Thanks! @IlliniInBuckeyeState do you concur? If only we could trust the DIA.
