Is this going to be a belima c$%k sucking show? 

 

[desertshox]

This is weird. Lots of empty seats for Bielema's debut at Illinois. Not a lot of excitement in Champaign?

Was just wondering if we had enough folks in the stands to make it a neutral site…

…and we won the toss! We’re ALREADY WINNING!

Illinois selling out to stop the run…right in the box

 

[Terrabus]

First pass attempt of the season was a complete pass!  Great way to start!

 

[The Scarlet Pimpernel]

Not a good sign... no receivers open, reminiscent of last year 

 

[lo country]

No bueno on not getting the 3rd....
