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.

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

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.

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.
