[Gat-Rat Bull]

Sure do hope we win.

Lovie is motivated to beat us after the embarrassing loss last year. I heard him define the loss the same in an interview. They don’t have the dynamic play makers or speed we have, but should be a much closer game today.  Go Bulls.

Yeah Lovie losing last year in the same stadium where he was an epic failure as a coach would probably not sit well with him.

They seem convinced that we are much less ready at the QB spot. That leads me to believe they have not watched the games closely. Comments to the effect of considering BB no where near as good as QF

They gon' learn today.

Yeah, I don’t see a blowout like many on the prediction thread think...although it would be nice.

In this thread, their writers (6 of 7) predict Bulls to win.

So either they're little ***** like the Tampa Bay Times, or this feeling of submission is real.

Have a hunch the suspended players play.

Lovie wants and needs this one badly

Man, great minds think alike. Definitely playing for his ass today.

nah-- Lovie is incredibly stubborn once his mind is set. Watch none of them get on the field today.

He has never done anything desperate to try to save his job in all the year I've seen him coach - which is many being a fan of the Bears, Bucs, and Illini.

Before you take the deep dive off the edge from this game, take a few minutes and read through this thread from Illinois fans and their take on the game.

It might just change your attitude a little bit about the game in general. They know we made a ton of mistakes. But they also point out what we did do and what they failed to do. Interesting stuff.
