why (OH WHY) would illini think nebraska was a pushover?  in the last
four years nebraska has been out of the top 10 maybe a few weeks.
number one a LOT of weeks.  illin. was has been in the polls some the
last few years, and were recently at the top of a relatively weak big-10.
(and went on the embarass themselves at the rose bowl)

i don't think they thought nebraska was a pushover.  i think they 
went in scared.  nebraska is known for whomping opponents early
in the season (florida state escluded:-)  i REALLY doubt they thought
nebraska was a pushover.  if they did, they deserved to get the crap
beat out of them like they did.

the interview i saw with ill's head coach before the game. he was basically
shitting twinkies and said something like "...i'd like to get my hands on the
person who scheduled this game IN nebraska after the USC game..."

	beat the hell out of texass!!
