We aren’t going to know what we have until the EWU game.

Probably true, I know Illinois is a top 15 program, at least according to the preseason polls, but I was still a little disappointed. Was expecting to see a little more from them at least offensively.

Illini take care of business in season opener, cruise past Western Illinois.

Sure would be nice to schedule buy games at Akron or Kent state instead big 10 schools.

Also, it was really easy to travel to see us play @Illinois and see other alums. Those of us who went wouldn’t get that luxury playing at other schools. 

I just view the Illinois/Northwestern games as they benefit the school financially and benefit me socially and disregard the outcome entirely.
