That's a pretty accurate line, all things considered. Wouldn't surprise me to see it move to 10 or 11 by tip off. 

 

After the miracle comeback Thursday, we're playing with house money Sunday. Hopefully we play relaxed and just let it rip.

 

Illini just 6-6 ATS at home

This is strange.  I'm in the kitchen finishing up the ribs and it pops into my head if the Huskers are less than 10 point underdogs, they beat Illinois tomorrow.  I wouldn't wager money on it, but I'm starting to get a feeling....

This has to be one of the worst songs of all time. I'm sending these vibes to Illinois knowing they will come out lethargic and play that way the entire game.  

 

You're getting sleepy, very sleepy....

Born in Chicago.  People get ready...

Not born in Illinois, but lives and performs in Chicago and has been since the early 80's. She is also my aunt.

I am not sure what you are implying. Spreads take into account home court, so you would expect a record near 0.500.

I would assume the only reason he tweeted that out was to make light of the fact that he deactivated his twitter account.  Jeffery Grace is more likely to get playing time.

Looking at the B1G standings and today's games, the top 4 teams are doing battle. How often can we say we're a part of that discussion in February?! Big opportunity today!

I'm assuming you'll crack open a bottle of cheap champaign after the Husker victory in honor of your ex.  

 

very cheap...like....cold duck cheap......;)

well, if they're going to pick up a road win thatll serve as a miracle ticket to the dance, this is the one. maybe catch the Illini napping a bit.

Not sure if it will mean a victory, but I have a good feeling we don’t lay an egg today. I think it will be close towards the end

[tcp]

wish we had eli avail today. have a feeling we could use the kid. 

 

on the other hand, if there's a game we can sandbag while getting kids healthy, this would likely be the one.

Welcome!  May the force be with you.    As an aside, I would not be shocked if Blaise gets in the game for a couple minutes. Of course, I have no inside info, just a gut feeling.

If Cips optimistic butt is on the board in the game thread today, we’ll have this thing in the bag!  Ultimate glue guy!

[cipsucks]

I could sure be wrong, but I see both teams playing ugly the first 10 minutes of the game.  Have a feeling the Husker defense shows up tonight.  Let's win this puppy!

Anybody listening to pregame show? Kent seems mad at Jake or maybe they’re just joking around? 

[cipsucks]

Another thing I'm looking to see if it happens tonight, a shooter can get out of their funk when they go on the road.  Keisei!

I am.  I thought the same thing.  Kent might be going through male menopause...
