That's what I'm hoping for too. Rain and 20+ mph winds should shut down whatever passing games might be going on, and I think we have a pretty solid ground game.

Leathernecks look to topple Illinois.

Maybe will get lucky with the weather tomorrow as a lot of the rain that we were supposed to get has started breaking up.

The PJS prediction: UIUC 28. Western 17.

Remnants of Tropical Storm Gordon are expected to arrive around Saturday’s game-time.

I heard this morning there are like $6 tickets available for the game on the resell market.

They're giving out tickets to students, so the demand can't be that high.

I'm hitting the road to Champaign with my Illinois/WIU alumna sister-in-law. See some of you there.

The weather was pretty clear until I got on 74

Safe travels, all. Lets bring home a win.

Arrived in Champaign. Having some food before heading to the stadium. Rain has mostly held off. As was mentioned, had some on 74, but only occasionally light sprinkles here. Looks like it might hold off most of the game.
