Illini MUST BEAT the Wildcats

[T_Levine]

To go bowling.

Bring it Purple

 

[phatcat]

Their last 5 games were razor close. I don't expect a blowout

 

[rmndcat]

To go bowling.

Bring it Purple

and to keep our Hat.

 

[DaCat]

So much sweeter to beat them

 

[Gatabowl]

Forget the hat. I want blood.

 

[FanatiCat]

Had mixed feeling watching their game, kinds of wished they had won to secure a bowl so the game next week wouldn’t be as critical for them. And it would make our win next week look better if they were coming off beating ranked Iowa.

Same here. They have everything on the line and we don't. Bajakian needs to go all out for this one!!! His job could be on the line. Braun going 8-5 would do wonders for not only him winning coach of the year, but giving the program a big boost in recruiting!!!

Any Illinois loss is a good one. Perhaps if they were 0-11 and beat 11-0 Mich
.

I hope Illinois loses every game. They are the only Big Ten school I root against in bowl season and in the basketball tournament.

Apparently though that 8th win at a bowl game would not be a factor given COY should be decided earlier in December.

 

[Jaguar 88]

Apparent;hy through that 8th win at a bowl game would not be a factor given COY should be decided earlier in December.

Either way winning out would do wonders for the program. We beat the Ilini, and Braun seals the deal probably on COY.

and to keep our Hat.

That's to get it back

Nah

Ferentz is a double digit win team with zero offense. He wins COY or maybe Day if he is undefeated. Braun may win, but it won’t be sealed either way,

 

[Darren72]

One thing that Braun has going for him is that Day won recently and Ferentz has won it multiple times.

Bill O'Brien won in 2012 with an 8-4 record in his first year at PSU.

Yes, he could win it if we win Saturday. Just don’t think it is sealed up with a win.

Who cares about that, We want the 7th and 8th win

Sorry but don't see either of those guys getting it if we win Sat. To he who much is given much is expected, Both were given a lot so they met reasonable expectations, We were given nothing, not even a chance.

Way Ferentz could get it is if he announces his retirement

 

[techtim72]

If the Cats win, Braun is COY. Not even a question.
