Growing up in Peoria, IL, home of the Bradley Braves and just a quarter of an hour from Bloomington, IL, home of the Illinois St. Redbirds, I am very familiar with all things Missouri Valley and all things Central Illinois.I'll say this much: ISU usually has a basketball team that is competitive and a source of pride for the school.
That is not true of the football team.
If the Illini don't come out tomorrow and administer a beatdown, I will be highly disappointed.
