Happy Thursday, Illinois Land!
We are now in the throes of the Big Ten conference football schedule. For Illinois, and head coach Bret Bielema, that means six of the last eight games will be against Big Ten West foes, starting with Purdue in West Lafayette on Saturday (2:30 p.m., Peacock).
If you’re wondering what Peacock is, you’re not in a gigantic minority. Ask you kids, grand kids or someone younger than 25.
