How YOU should feel about the rest of Illinois’ season

As your Fighting Illini head into Lincoln and Week 9 of the 2022 college football season, take a minute to look at the Big Ten West standings.

Illinois is in sole possession of first place.

Don’t make a comment. Don’t send a tweet. Don’t post it on Instagram.

Just look at it. Ain’t she purty?

Now, look into the distance and think about all of the putrid football you’ve watched in your lifetime, especially in the last decade. Season after season and coach after coach of ineptitude on and off the field.
