Illinois Game Thread: Attack of the (orange and) Blue Meanies

[cipsucks]

Illinois is in town tonight looking to make amends for last year's loss that brought tears to players' eyes.  They're favored by three, which tells me gamblers don't have much faith in the Meanies.  However, the Huskers this year have been less than stellar at home, and are playing their fourth game in 10 days.  It appears to me, Illinois has a lot going in its favor.

 

 

 

 

 

But wait!  Captain Shavon, I mean Fred, and the Fab Four are coming to the rescue.  This is probably the most fun I've had following the Huskers since Danny.  It has nothing to do with this season's results, (although, if they win tonight, how many more conference victories will they get?  1, 2, 3, 4...can I have a little more?) it has more to do with the direction this program is headed.  Let's get a win tonight! 

 

All together now....Go Big Red!

I'll put the over under on 5 hour energy commercials during the game at 4.

The half time entertainment is supposed to be the Dancing Grandmas (or whatever the hell the name is) doing an unplugged tribute to the (orange and) Blue Meanies.
