Every year for a while now Illinois has opened up their season playing against rival Missouri. The last two years Missouri has been a highly ranked team and we have kept up with them. Last years game was amazing with records being broken by both teams. But this year Missouri came in as a team that was rebuilding and Illinois was the team that just missed being ranked in the preseason polls...And we got manhandled.
Maybe Illinois just came out a bit rusty, but this was supposed to be the year that they were going to make a big run in the Big Ten and the BCS! Call me a hopeless fan, but I still think that they can turn this around with a few big wins this season. I think that you will see Illinois in a bowl game this year and will finally win! Keep in mind I am not talking about a BCS bowl game, but anything is better than last years disappointment.
As for the rest of College Football; it is starting to look like a good year with a few big upsets already!
As for fantasy; I will not be playing any fantasy games until the bowl games start, so stay tuned!
