Even oranger that we thought

dammit, Stephen Bardo is calling the game tonight (with Terry Gannon). it's bad enough that Bardo is not terribly insightful, but he was part of that 1989 Flyin' Illini team with Kendall Gill, Marcus Liberty, Nick Anderson and Kenny Battle. let's hope Bardo can stay somewhat neutral tonight.

by the way, Vegas has NU as only a two-point underdog. the Wildcats are 6-3 at home against the spread.
