First and foremost UDoggie, GL to you this year. I look forward to seeing your picks the rest of the year.
However, I was just curious about your thoughts on IL/MIZZOU game after seeing you were considering a ML play on the Illini. I've obviously been to all the home games my last 3 years down here and seen just about every road game. Although I think they will (or at least should be based on the talented recruits panning out) be challenging for a B10 title in a few years, I think they are still 1 year away from doing anything major (i.e. an 8-9 win season). I think, or at least hope, they can play around .500 ball this season. They will get at least one big win (one of the home games vs Wisky, Penn St, or Michigan) and open some eyes with their young players. However, they have to learn how to win first and let the talent develop more throughout the season. I think there will be a lot of season-opening jitters for the youngsters, esp. since it's the Braggin' Rights game. I just don't see how IL can stay w/in a TD in this one.
Again, just my two cents.
