Illinois getting desperate to "keep the red out"

[walksalone]

A guy named 'roux' is talking about 'thickening' Illini attendance numbers. Classic.

He's quite... saucy.

And you are a cunning-linguist

I doubt there will be a ton of Nebraska fans there this weekend. A lot probably shelled out for the Miami game, and Champaign/Urbana is hardly a desirable vacation spot. Probably the typical 5-10k

Its not a great college football experience that is for sure. And I live 40 minutes away.

I shudder every time I go back east across the Mississippi River.

I do want to get up fishing in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan one more time, though.

I was at the Miami game, and sat by a group of Canes fans for the first quarter (before I found an empty seat among Husker fans), and they were really impressed with the amount of fans we had there. I heard the one guy saying, "Damn, gotta give them props; they travel well. Look at that" (pointing to all the red in the stands)

I'm sure they were impressed. It must be a big difference over the empty seats they are use to looking at.

Yeah...I agree. it will not be a huge Husker crowd this weekend.

HA! I was thinking the same thing. It looked like a lot of empty seats even for our game, which is pretty sad how little fan interest there is at "The U"

That will be a nice showing. GBR

No way there is 20k

I doubt it will be 20k. That's the kind of number you'd expect if Nebraska were in the hunt for something or expected to be in the hunt.

It may look like a lot, depending on what Illinois fans number, but 20k seems like a giant fantasy.

I BET IT'S CLOSER TO 19,999 THAN 20,000
