Hello, Detroit

Pop Tarts Bowl? Wishful thinking, probably. But would be a bit more fun, at least.

Well, that's why the Rate Bowl has New Mexico instead of a Big XII team. But no impact on us, unless the B1G is trying to negotiate with Game Above to release us to play in one of the Big XII's vacant slots (... ain't happening...).
Hope this will prove to be an opp to demo Boe’s skill level, or lack thereof. I’ve seen enough of stone
Illinois beat Western Michigan, not Central Michigan, 38-0. (Western beat Central 24-21.) Michigan beat Central Michigan 63-3.
But I agree with your point -- we ought to win by a lot.
Central appears to have a two headed QB system. They main guy is an IA transfer who has negative career yards rushing. The other guy mainly a runner.
The passer doesn't have huge stats, but only 6 INTS and spreads it around well.
To me, the key to the game will be if 2 of our top 3 RBs play, the status of which will likely be as mysterious as gifts from Santa.

If CMU truly is a slam dunk opponent in a lame postseason destination that no one in the college football universe will be watching regardless, then I'd love to see Boe get the first-string reps.
I travel to Detroit often for work. Highly recommend the Henry Ford museum. Very cool.
Stay north of Detroit, it’s safe and clean. Don’t go west into Dearborn unless you like Sharia Law.

I went to the Ford Museum last time we were there in 2003. Give me another reason to go.
You know the Henry Ford museum is in Dearborn, right?
I hope I’m wrong but I feel like we are going to have a bad crowd. I’m going. Wouldn’t miss it. We can’t take bowls for granted.
Notwithstanding the weird Sharia law comment above,.Dearborn has the best Middle Eastern food in the country.
Those don't exist for us. I don't imagine we will be favored by more than 1 score
He isn’t gonna be the starter next year either, pointless
You can take a picture of the 8 Mile Rd exit? Sorry, I can’t offer much of an endorsement. I only said I travel there often for work, not that I personally like doing it
Just curious as to where you're staying? I too travel there a lot (I'm downtown). I think it's great. Great bars/restaurants, very walkable, some great architecture (The Whitney Building is a jewel). I would love to go to bowl as I'll have a free parking spot LOL but the early afternoon 12/26 gametime not working well with 12/25 family plans.
Even if we buy a QB from the portal like everyone else does, it wouldn't hurt for our backup to have quality experience either to cover the eventual starter from injury or if we get another Mike Wright situation where it's a bad pick out of the gate.
What is wrong with Dearborn? I used to live there. Demographic has changed slightly since I moved but still is a nice suburb of Detroit! Lots of really nice people there of all ethnicities! Safe as Evanston in my opinion! Great restaurants and greenfield village/hf village is awesome! Lots of blue collar motor company employees live there. Can you elaborate on why you don’t like the town??
That is more than 50% of our per game point average
I was there for a week one time. The food was so good.I wanted to convert.
Take the Under
Here's a decent article about ILL and our upcoming games. More summary than article
What to know about college football bowl games for Northwestern and Illinois
Here's what to know about the upcoming bowl games for Northwestern and Illinois.
I'm trying to figure out who's going to the game and whether you will do the NAA pep rally and/or the post game victory party at a local bar and grill. Also, what are others doing about a ticket so we can all sit in the same area in good seats. This old man needs some guidance.
HJ, have you actually ever been there before? I lived in Detroit for many years and Dearborn is a fairly decent city with some pretty good amenities.
