I'm guessing it's pretty hard to think about football right now after the Illini beat the snot out of USC in basketball. The Illinois @ Northwestern game now almost seems like an afterthought. Can't blame the fans at all. That basketball game gave the fans hope of a good season from one of the main sports, while most of us can't wait for the football season too end.
But you should care about football for one more game. Why? Because Basketball tickets are on the line. The winner will win a pair of tickets to see the men play in a big ten game! A number of people have a chance to win, so keep those predictions coming. We will take a look at Northwestern later in the week.
Right now, here are the standings after 11 games.
