I look forward to Braggin’ Rights as much, if not more, than any other game on the schedule. Maybe you’re like me, and maybe you’re not... but I’ve never really hated Illinois. I’ve looked forward to this game because generally it’s a lot of fun and it’s always right before Christmas, and most of the time it’s a fun game.
Against someone like kansas, there’s this stress because you want to beat them so badly. With Braggin’ Rights, I want Mizzou to win for sure. But especially when Illinois is good, it’s not the end of the world if they lose.
