Title: Hey Tempo! The Illini play at home Sat 9/23 at 230PM against FAU!
Post by: ThePAMan on September 17, 2023, 06:15:17 PM
Yeah, I know it is early and I do not have all the BS from FightingIllini.com.

Long story short: I have 1 extra ticket to the game. Wife does not want to drive down and Tempo does not have the time to go as he has to study Fields game film.

I may have a 2d ticket to the game as well. But I will not know until 1 to 2 hours before the game. Even if you need 2, I am sure plenty are available.

PM me if interested in a ticket (or possibly two) for Saturday. Ticket(s) would be free, but someday, and that day may never come, I may call upon you to do a service for me. But until that day, accept the ticket(s) as a gift....Yeah, I paraphrased The Godfather....

Enough shit-assed Bears talk. I still have 1 ticket for this game if you want it. May have 2 tickets. Does not mean you have to sit in the seats if you want to sit elsewhere....Let me know.

Everything stolen from somewhere else:

Date/Time   Saturday, Sept. 23 | 2:30 p.m. CT
Location   Champaign, Illinois (Memorial Stadium) (for Judge Judy!)
TV   BTN (Jason Ross Jr., Illini legend Howard Griffith, and Justine Ward on the call)

VSIN Odds Aggregation Started Illini -13 o/u 49.5 Now: Illini -14 to -14.5 (read FAU QB down for the season) o/u 45.5 (I read somewhere the Illini are 0-3 ATS this year)
 
The two sides will meet for the first time in program history, with FAU making the trip to take on a Big Ten opponent for the second consecutive season after playing at Purdue in 2022. Illinois is 6-4 all-time against teams currently in the American Athletic Conference (Charlotte 1-0, East Carolina 4-0, Navy 1-0, Tulane 0-1, USF 0-2, UTSA 0-1).

Band Day – High School bands from across the state will come for a special performance with the Marching Illini at halftime.

1951 Football Rose Bowl Team Champions – The 1951 squad, which posted a near-perfect 9-0-1 record on the season and grabbed a share of Illinois' last national title, will be honored on the field during Saturday's game. The 1951 Illini started off the season with seven straight wins, beating 20th-ranked Washington and No. 15 Michigan along the way. The Illini suffered its only non-win of the year against Ohio State when neither team managed to score in a 0-0 tie. Illinois capped the season with a 40-7 romping of Stanford in the 1952 Rose Bowl. Consensus All-American Johnny Karras led the team in rushing and Hall of Famer Al Brosky was a star in the defensive secondary. Nichi was already 57 years old in 1951.

I was going to make a Nichi joke but you beat me to it.

Fuck. I have to go to a stupid fucking wedding on Saturday. Yes, incredibly, someone scheduled a wedding on one of the best college football Saturdays of the season.

I would have used that ticket too. Pisses me off even more.

PAMan, I thought you were all about exact quoting, including punctuation?

PM me either an email address or a mobile number and I will transfer them to you. I don't believe you need to download the Illini app they make us use to manage the tickets, but you will have to download the tickets.

I like Illini football but I can't imagine going to this game instead of staying home and watching Oregon/Colorado, Utah/UCLA, Ole Miss/Bama

A spot in the who-gives-a-fuck bowl is looking pretty optimistic right now.

Keep playing like this and they’ll be in the Champaign Bowl against Champaign Centennial.

Not the best execution but that was needed nonetheless.

Allowing FAU to march 97 yards with zero resistance. That's not ideal.

Any suggestions for decent food and lots of TVs in CU these days that I don't have to fight to get a seat or 2?

2-2 now.
PU, Neb, Ind and NU get us to 6.

Looks good in theory, but Illinois looks to be just as incompetent as everyone else in the West. Hoping it works out for the lads.

They're all winnable but all losable if we don't stop shooting ourselves in both feet.

So you think they will win, but it wouldn't surprise you if they didn't?

I wasn't thinking straight or I would have added that.
