My wife is being induced today. Hoping to welcome our new baby boy to the world. Wonā€™t be able to watch any football today. My son is already smart, he decided to try to come during our bye week. Thatā€™s my boy!!! Iā€™ll keep you all updated.

Congratulations! Wishing the wife and your child a healthy and easy delivery and quick recovery. My wife gave birth to our own 5 days ago. Baby is clearly an Illini fan, making sure to be born during the bye week so I can help him and mama and have extra time to get him ready for his first game and win (hopefully).

Penn St looked like trash today. Couldnā€™t run the ball against a BAD UCLA team. So KU, Nebby, and now PSU have played bad football since taking on Illinois. lol

Purdue fans are calling for a new HC. Maybe Coach Walters can fire another coordinator to buy another week.

Ryan Walters realizes heā€™s a HC and asks himself: ā€œToo soon?ā€

Didn't realize that Iowa lost to Iowa State. I'll have to look for the highlights on that one.
Just now the squawks are down 21-0 after losing a fumble in the third quarter. This game is over.

Tired narrative. Nebraska looks very solid against Rutgers (and looked bad in first road game against Purdue for a half but still won comfortably). Penn St scored in 5 out of 8 possessions today and won very comfortably. Only Kansas has been bad consistently.

Iā€™ll be a lot more inclined to talk smack about Purdue after the game next week if we beat them. As bad as they are theyā€™ve had our number.

As much as I hate it, a Miznoz win would increase our odds of staying ranked through the bye week.

I guess I take a longer-term view than the current Top 25. Miznoz not only lost today but were decimated & humiliated in a featured national tv game. We recruit against them in all sports in the St Louis area on both sides of the river. Miznoz WAS getting a lot of publicity and eyeballs with the lofty rankings of the football team, but are now a laughingstock even among their own fans.

My first college football game was as a Boy Scout with my troop volunteering to usher at Vanderbilt games.

Somehow the College Football Gods intervened to put me directly in front of the Tennessee cheerleaders.šŸ‘€šŸ‘€
