You heard the man! Fans we need you, early, loud and wearing orange.

Matthew Boyd is 10-0 in games in which the Cubs score 6+ runs. That will not be easy to do tonight, but 6 is the magic number.

With this third sellout in a row, I want to go back to the decision to keep horseshoe & balcony endzone season tickets at $98. Coming off the Citrus Bowl, it could have been raised. Cheapest Wisconsin season ticket is $400. But crowd size was prioritized over $$ - an A+ decision.

The italic helmets as a tribute to the 2007 win at #1 Ohio State are 🤌

9:03 am update: The rain has continued to weaken as it moved eastward. A few stray showers could still pop-up this afternoon. newschannel20.com/weather

#illini mega donor Larry Gies Enjoying a football game at GIES MEMORIAL STADIUM Illinois vs Ohio state

Penn State is the first team to lose consecutive games in which it was a 20-point favorite in both...

We have played through 7 opportunities and I know we have attacked each week to have success. We haven’t been perfect but we have grown and there is no more important week than the one ahead of us. Our crew loves to work and get better so this bye week is HUGE. 1-0 mentality

A great game and a great environment to film! Here are some of the big moments in Ohio State vs Illinois that I was able to capture:

A couple things that puzzle me on the most recent AP Poll: Two loss Notre Dame: Ranked 13th. Those two losses: No.2 Miami and No. 4 Texas A&M. Two loss Illinois: Unranked. Their two losses: No. 1 Ohio State and No. 3 Indiana. One loss USC: No. 21. That one loss: #Illinois.

Penn State will likely take a crack at potential splash hires (Cignetti, Dillingham), but this really feels like Matt Rhule’s job to lose. State College native, Penn State alum, strong track record, helped turn around Temple with Pat Kraft. Oh, and Dylan Raiola has another year

WOW! Hello to Champaign this morning! Some sunshine for now, but expect the clouds to take over for the afternoon. newschannel20.com/weather

Just another day watching the rain skirt around Springfield. No measurable rainfall is expected east of I-55. newschannel20.com/weather

The rain held together! Don't expect much, but some light showers are moving across the I-55 corridor. newschannel20.com/weather

“So you turned the heat on in the morning?” Yes because it was cold “And then turned the AC on in the afternoon?” Yes because fall has 4 seasons in one day “And at night you’ll have the windows open?” That’s correct.

Illinois will play: #1 Purdue (@ Mackey) #3 Florida (Closed scrimmage) #4 UConn (MSG) #7 Michigan #10 Texas Tech #12 UCLA (@ Pauley) #15 Alabama (UC) #18 Tennessee (Nashville) #22 Michigan St (@ Breslin) #24 Wisconsin 😮 #illini

When satire backfires and becomes reality…

Aside from a few isolated showers tonight-tomorrow morning north of roughly I-74, the forecast remains dry until Friday night when a storm system approaches the region. This will result in a 60% chance of storms late Friday night-Saturday, & much cooler temperatures by Sunday.

Aside from a few isolated showers tonight into tomorrow AM north of I-74, the forecast remains dry until Fri night when an autumn storm system approaches the region. This will result in a 50-70% chance of storms late Fri night into Sat, and drastically cooler temps by Sun. #ILwx
