They compared this year's Illinois team to last year's Michgan team. Either they blow out teams or get blown out. Never know what you are going to get. Illinois is dangerous at home. If we beat them, then I think they officially are a second tier team of the big10.

I wish I could pay for this service separate and watch these games legally.

Don't.
Don't.
BTN to go service is -to put it elegantly - a piece of shit.
When the games (football OR basketball) are on a major network you have to wait until 12:00 ET to watch them. Which would be ok if the games were actually available, not the case most of the time.
When the games are only on BTN you can watch them live, but the stream is crappy and it often skips. I can't ever get it to work on my iPad for live broadcasts.
The BTN reminds me of that commercial for monster.com in which a guy worked with a bunch of monkeys.
