I walked out of the stadium after Purdue thinking this season was dead in the water. Unbelievable job from Bielema and this defensive staff to win four straight and salvage the season. Bowling for a third year in a row. These are the good old days.
Build the statue.

Valpo's Roger Powell just got the biggest win of his career by beating Purdue at Mackey Arena.
And the man who interviewed him postgame after calling the game?
Bruce Weber, who coached Powell on the 2005 Illinois team that reached the national title game.
Life is beautiful.

The @ChicagoBears are the first team in NFL history to beat both Super Bowl participants from the previous season in primetime in back-to-back games.
My kid found the first season of the Pokemon animated series and has been binging it since last night. Dudes rock.

#illini WR Collin Dixon (60 receptions, 781 yards, 10 TDs) is on a 12-game pace for 90 receptions for 1,171 yards and 15 touchdowns.
All would be top-3 single-season marks in Illinois history.

Illinois is 24-10 over the last three seasons, the fourth-best record in the Big Ten since the conference expanded behind only Indiana, Ohio State, and Oregon.
