I think now that Lovie Smith has turned around the Illini we might be able to schedule them.... Probably won’t for another 4 years though, but by then Hammock and company will be clicking on all cylinders.

Wishful thinking. I would love it if we can get an Illinois trifecta for non conference. Illini, NU Wildcats and SIU
