We're back at Memorial Stadium as the Illini prepare to host Kent State in game that was supposed to be played Friday night. But weather interfered.
New game time: 1 p.m. today with free parking, no TV and frequent updates. That's assuming Kent State makes it to Memorial Stadium.
AD Mike Thomas said Kent State stayed Friday night in Bloomington, with the Golden Flashes needing 70 rooms to accommodate their travel party. Kent State arrived on Thursday in Champaign and stayed at the Hawthorn Suites, but checked out Friday afternoon.
“It’s one of those that you probably see once in your career,” Thomas told our Bob Asmussen late Friday night.
