Homecoming game is on Peacock. More later.
Has the makings of a classic Illini trap game with Nebraska the following week....
I'll be heading down early Friday for an exciting 6:30PM Illini hockey. If anyone wants a ticket to the football game (and wants to tailgate before/after or even meet up Friday night for madcap and hi-jinks), just let me know. Wife will be out of town and AggressiveSon already told me he is not waking up early after a game for an 11AM football game. I do have a hard out of Champaign by 5PM Saturday to get home to let out the dog and see Cracker perform at an Oktoberfest!

My son’s cousin plays TE for Central Michigan, but unfortunately has had a 2nd consecutive season ending injury before the season. Poor kid.
-
Fucking 11 am games. Lame. Don’t think CMU is any good. I do definitely want to get up for a game this fall but probably not going to be this one.

Central Michigan (1-1) arrives in Champaign following a 52-16 road loss at FIU last week. The Chippewas opened their season on Aug. 29 with a 66-10 home victory over Central Connecticut State, a performance that saw CMU score nine total touchdowns. Despite its most recent defeat, Central Michigan ranks second in the MAC in total scoring (82 points), leads the conference in fewest passing yards allowed (107.5 yards/game), and is one of three FBS teams that has returned both a kickoff and a punt for a touchdown thus far this season.
The Chippewas are led by sixth-year head coach Jim McElwain, who has guided CMU to two bowl games and one trip to the MAC Championship Game.
Illinois cornerback Xavier Scott was named the Big Ten Defensive Player of the Week, the conference office announced Monday. Scott forced three turnovers in Illinois' 23-17 win over #19 Kansas, helping the Illini to their highest ranked nonconference win since 1995.

It’s not blurry for once but camera is shaky and RW FF function is still hot garbage. 🙃

Good on ya - we go see them a lot as Lowery still lives in the Bay Area and plays Novato a lot.
They are still rockin. Johnny Hickman is the man.
I saw them on their first tour at Caberet Metro in Chicago, that was a truly epic night that did indeed end with us closing The Store
-
Looking like they fell into the trap
-
59 yard FG to end the half. Helluva boot.
-
Big score to open the 2nd half

Mama, there goes that man again.
Xavier fucking Scott!

A little showmanship by Bielema all game. Wanted to make his point to the officials.

Good to see Judge Judy yesterday. Judge Judy is the corn king. Very juicy corn! Finished the rest of the cigar you gave me while I was just grilling wings. I'm still tired from my weekend shenanigans.
-
I also forgot to mention the bourbon you brought. That was good stuff.
-
Anytime, man. Good seeing you as well and for the good hospitality!

I don’t have to pick fights with Jobu. He makes that happen organically.
