NU @ Illinois (11/27): 2:30 PM CT, BTN

[Styre]

Will likely be a national telecast to wrap up a miserable season.

 

[Williesfan]

Nothing like a kick in the crotch to end it all !

 

[Fcmchi1]

At that time, during the Thanksgiving weekend, the stadium will probably be empty.

The 8th stage of NUFB grief: A 0-0 tie with the Pumpkins

 

[ubercat]

It has happened. Forty three years ago: The Pointless Game.

 

[NUChicago]

IL is way better than us and will pound us with their running game. Might as well give them the hat now.

That's what I said 2 years ago....

 

[NUChicago]

That's what I said 2 years ago....

But this time both O and D stink.

 

[eddie_gocats]

rest of the games on btn... yay get to cancel espn!

 

[loyolacat]

These last two games for both teams will say a lot about the reality and direction of both programs....as well as the narrative about this year....Illinois beats us and Iowa and goes to a bowl with wins over Penn St and Minny on the road... if we win the last two inexperienced players improve.....

 

[Catreporter]

Illini are loaded with super seniors, especially in their lines. That's why they are better than us this year.

 

[CatManTrue]

This and the Wrigley game are now our bowl games.

Bert has COVID. He is vaxed and boosted. Sucks for him. Likely won't be a serious case

 

[JournCat]

We’ll be going for an all-time series tie — currently 55-54-5. I think that matters more than a Motor City Bowl berth or similar.
