Cruddy NU vs. Solid Illinois...let's party like it's 1991

[wildcatcoaster]

1991 a poor NU team behind Len Williams (who was a stud) knocked off Illinois 17-11 ruining Illinois' Rose Bowl hopes. I was a junior and remember the proverbial "Lake the Posts" wow was that cold.

With Iowa's loss today, if Purdue loses to Indiana, Illinois has a chance to win the West. The posts are cemented in now, but hopefully history can repeat itself.

Unfortunately this team doesn't have anyone as good as Len Williams and Lee Gissendaner

I thought about missing the game, but with decent weather, and already being primed for defeat, I figure why not go watch Hull, Tomi, Skoronski, Malik, et al one last time? Maybe someone will start a 'fire Jake and JON' chant.
