Week in review: Wisconsin at Illinois

We want to make sure you are completely and 100% ready for today’s game so we’ve linked every article we’ve written about Illinois this week in this post! I know, I know, we are too good to you.

We will have a couple more posts later today including: a How To Watch post, a Game Thread, a Game Recap and Unit Grades. Our photographer Matt Fleming is at Memorial Stadium photographing the game for us and Rock will be there as a fan, so we may get some tailgating updates from him, and we’ll have the Twitter account firing off average (when Drew is in charge) and informative (when Ryan is) tweets throughout the game.
