In today's paper the talk was about the "semi-big"
game Illinois has against Wisconsin this weekend.
I thought the terminology was interesting. Head
coach White of the Fighting Illini was quoted as
saying that the schedule worked out great for
Illinois this year with "a big game, then a semi-
big game, then a big game" meaning Iowa, then Wisconsin,
then Ohio State. Considering that both teams are 3-1
and seem to always play each other tough, AND that
the game is at Wisconsin, I think that the Illini
are definitely a bit cocky calling it only "semi-big".
Granted they are a good team and quite capable of
beating the Badgers, but I still say that this is
a prime time for an upset.
PREDICTION: Badgers 21 Illinois 20
