It feels great to see the Illinois Fighting Illini on to winning ways. As a long-time fan, I about lost it while driving my car last week once I got the notification via ESPN application that we defeated the Wisconsin Badgers, 24-23. In traffic at the time, I had plenty of time to check out the highlights which were all over Twitter. Yes! The Illinois Fighting Illini definitely created commotion in college football community which was very satisfying to see after their previous performances against a few teams they should have defeated. After this 24-6 win over the Purdue Boilermakers I say bring it on! We are only two games away from going to a bowl game. Oskee Wow-Wow Illinois!

This upset came out of nowhere. Now, Illinois just has to beat Northwestern to reach a bowl.
This win eased the aggression built up in me. I’am sure it did the same for other Illini fans too. I won’t know how to act if they defeat Michigan State this weekend. I’ll probably jump off of a light post, lol.
I was happy to see that Wisconsin result! But beating Purdue, now that makes me really happy. Bowl eligible – that is now really possible.
I see us defeating Rutgers and it boiling down to them making it if they can defeat Northwestern. They have also been known to surprise Michigan State, too.
well it won’t be a surprise this time for Illinois against Michigan State. I think you will finish off Rutgers, Northwestern is really not good (we will know more this weekend after IU plays them).
You have a shot.
I see IU beating Northwestern. It’s like they just gave up completely this season
IU has a great ability to lose to northwestern, even when we are the better team
That sucks! Well, I have confidence in them, lol
i went to so many games when I was a kid. i always remember Northwestern hiring the old coach of IU (john pont, and him beating us every year).
The one we have now, Fitzgerald is average in my opinion. Should get my talent than they should, but they settle.
it is a tough situation, the Big Ten has traditionally been a football power but over the years it wasn’t all of the Big Ten.
Penn State, Minnesota, Wisconsin and Ohio State and Michigan all have titles, although Minnesota many years ago.
Should get more talent than they should, but they settle.
Even though Penn State will probably win, I am loving this Minnesota team this year.
It is interesting right now the shift in the big ten. Always fun when you can enjoy a lot of new big ten teams at bowl season!
Illinois has a shot at a bowl
IU has a really good shot.
Minnesota has a good shot
Michigan, OSU, Penn State and Wisconsin have good shots at New Years day bowls!
All look decent enough to win in what ever bowl game they go to
The only problem now is that OSU has to make it through undefeated or the BTN has nobody in the final 4.
Should definitely be interesting with Michigan game being a home game, and the possibility of them meeting Minnesota in the BTN Championship. Minnesota is the only team that stands a chance to go against Ohio State out of the BTN – West which is weak.
we shall see, 6 or 7 BTN teams in the bowls would be nice!
I just want to see them win against whomever they are against. I always feel that Ohio State is the only team that has ‘it’ against whoever they face whether in or out of Big Ten conference. Wouldn’t be surprised if they make it to the college football championship and maybe win. I’d pay to see either Ohio State vs LSU or Clemson.
i do something similar, I have sat through some horrible football games over the years.
Booo… Badgers rule!
Prior to this game I agree’d totally with that until Ohio State came along. Hopefully Penn State can be some sort of competition against Ohio State.
Congrats to you and the outcome of this game!
