OK, so I ditched the Cowboys logo, and am back to the ILLINI! Let's talk about a 6-1 start, that's the best football team we have had in YEARS! Beating Michigan yesterday, ranked #22, this is a great start for us!!
Football GO ILLINI!!

Between Illinois and Indiana, the Big Ten has had some surprising teams this year!
Being a Maryland native, it was fun seeing them win a game, no less against a mediocre USC squad.
Congrats on the big win! Look like my Wolverines are going to struggle to get to bowl eligibility, the schedule doesn’t get any easier. We are in bad need of a real QB.

I was happy when Maryland and Rutgers joined the Big 10, since I knew the sports would be at least competitive, on par with the rest of what the Big 10 usually puts together. Now that we have Oregon, USC (not great this year, I agree!), and others, its frustrating since it seems like David and Goliath. Not to mention that the Big 10 now has 18 TEAMS!

Tough game, but my gosh, your Wolverines have had so many great seasons! The Illini struggled against them for a lot of seasons! Was sad to see Jim Harbaugh go to the NFL, he was a great coach for a lot of years in Ann Arbor.
Cheers!
