I know. You're laughing. I'll give you a second to stop. Alright, even though... OK. Stop laughing now. Alright, even though Illinois is probably still considered a laughingstock by the general population. If they are able to pull off the win at MSU, the rest of the schedule plays out pretty well for an Illini team that plays solid D and can run the ball on just about anybody. If Illinois wins this game, they do not play another team that is currently ranked in the top 25, they avoid Wisconsin and Iowa this year, and the teams that provide what would appear to be the greatest challenge, NU and UM, have serious flaws. Their remaining schedule - Indiana Purdue at Michigan Minnesota Northwestern (@ Wrigley Field) at Fresno State So, with a win this weekend, you might be looking at a 10-2 (7-1) Illini squad. No laughing. |

Sorry Doc, I think MSU will win this weekend, but I would say that you can probably look forward to a Capital One bowl or something along those lines. |

Doc, you are setting yourself up for disappointment. |

Well, in truth, with a first-year QB, odds are against a win this weekend and odds are good for a stumble on one of those games that they should win. Plus, things would have to break right with Wisky beating Iowa and maybe another upset or two. But, it is still fun for me to think about. Much more fun than the past two years. |

I'm sure they still don't think much of Illinois and could be looking ahead to road games at NU and Iowa. |

I can see where you are coming from BUT the same can be said for the Illini who finally got the Happy Valley monkey off their back. I think MSU wins but it's a tightly contested game. |

I watched the last two weeks. Fresno always makes bowl runs at the end of the year under Hill. I am as big of a grandstander for Illinois college teams in the post season as there is. Illinois on New Year's Day would further detract from a day that has already lost its luster over the past decade. |

Well, if it helps, I may extend an invitation to my exclusive Illinois New Year's Day Celebration with various smoked dead animals as well as alcohol and cheeses in order to restore some luster to your day as my day would be lusteriffic. |

I'd accept. I show up at 9:30 am for the kickoff of the 10 am game, but I would bring Buffalo Joe's. |

I have forwarded this thread to college supercoach Danny Hope and he assured me that you have made the bulletin board. |

I won't speculate about their final record, but the Illini are going to smoke NU. |

Maybe Illinois can still go to the Sugar Bowl. |
