Northwestern finally punched its ticket to bowl eligibility and completed its modern era Wrigley Field run with a win.

They face an Illinois team that was beaten in Madison last week. If the Cats win, they and the 21st ranked Illini would finish with identical 7-4 records and the Land of Lincoln Trophy would return to Evanston. The weather looks likely to favor the Cats' strength with the running game.

Illini looked listless last week against the Badgers, just don’t know how motivated their players will be against the Cats. Wind & weather a potential factor which hopefully helps our run gsme. Kickers will be busy. Unlike last week, this game should be a low scoring contest. Always a great way to end the season with a win against the Illini. The Hat comes back to the Cats!

I look for Kelvin to run up the score, like GA Tech v Cumberland
As Rosaenne Roseannadanna might say-
“What does Kelvin Climant care about running in the cold when Kalvin designs jackets with pockets to protect him to pass. Kelvin might be tempted for sure, when it snows it poors the whether or not!”

(Sure miss Gilda!)
