Back in 2015, when I was just a wee, college-attending lad, I crafted a fun list of 29 predictions for that Illini football season.
Some of them looked good by the following summer (“Ke’Shawn Vaughn will start a game at running back,” and he started five) and some looked embarrassing (“Illinois will hire Justin Fuente from Memphis to be the next head coach.”).
Two years later, after plenty of life experiences and a considerably greater amount of liver stress, I’m back with the hottest takes this side of the Allegheny. Penn State fans live east of the Allegheny, but Clay Travis does not — There’s your range of insanity.
