I just can’t get over yesterday. Perfect weather, perfect tailgate, perfect win over an imperfect opponent, perfect postgame celebration. 10s across the board.

When @ALionEye predicts a 28-point loss, but we end up winning the game outright…
Looking through the folder and... check out this great photo from @illiniholly of Christian Abney's touchdown.
See you all right here in 25 minutes. Our special guest lighting the I tonight: Michael Clayton’s mom.
That Dixon TD catch (which was right in front of my seats) is the most I’ve lost my mind in the stands since moving out of the pressbox in 2022. Just absolute delirium.
Things that are great about college football, part 283: This guy making the decision to utilize all of the extra rally towels in the student section to make a new shirt.
Obviously, the concern now immediately goes to the injuries. Tomi returned to the bench quickly, so that tells me his knee injury wasn't serious, but I need to know that everything is OK with Z and Andrej before I can feel OK. Also, I need to know why Mirk is back in his boot.
Didn't think I'd say this tonight but we're the #3 team losing an exhibition game at home by six with 3:45 left and this is currently so much fun. Four of the returnees are out with injuries and the freshmen have cut a 22 point Baylor lead to six.
Trying to keep up here but Mirkovic is back in his boot, Z banged his head and came out of the game, Andrej hit his head on the court and came out, and now Tomi comes off holding his knee. So we're down to Jake Davis and the newcomers.
Maybe I don't like exhibition games.
Just as everyone thought, the lineup that cuts Baylor's lead from 19 to 9 is Quentin Coleman, Zavier Zens, Lincoln Williams, Jake Davis, and Jason Jakstys.
