You know the old saying "Well, the smart money says....." A buddy of mine gives literal credence to that old saying. He can pretty much call games better than most I know, and usually puts his money on the line, to good effect. Here's his text message I just got this morning, after I told him that my heart says an Illinois victory, but my gut says a 15 point loss:
"Understood. The spread is small at 2. Even though they chalked an L vs. MSU, they looked pretty strong and physical on the road. Wisc looking kind of weak lately, just skating by some sub-par teams. My money is on Illini to pull off a shocker in Assembly Hall! Put that in your blog and post it."
And so I just did. For the record.

I hoped for a win too, so that was very disappointing, especially finishing with a 12-3 run by Wisconsin. This team does not know how to finish a game. I think there problems are more mental than physical. Nice games by Pruitt and McBride.
